Delicious plant based food in a nice setting

Had a meet up with a large family including us vegans, vegetarians and others. All satisfied alike. Menu has a number of options in each category except desserts, but is not fixed.

Pros: Great homemade Seitan, Well seasoned plates

Cons: Long preparation time, Vegan/vegetarian dishes are not explicitly marked, Dessert options not vegan

Onwaarschijnlijke vegan bbq

In juli en augustus organiseert Water En Vuur ieder jaar op maan- en dinsdag hun 'Ceci n’est pas un barbecue' op het dakterras.
Dit kan ook vegan en wij kozen uiteraard voor die formule.
Een 5 uur durend eetfestijn dat ons nog lang zal heugen en waar we mooie culinaire herinneringen aan over houden.
Een negen gangen menu, allen mooi afgewerkte gerechten.
Van begin tot einde een bijzonder geslaagde barbecue ervaring.
Hoge aanrader!

Machtig gegeten!

Wauw, m'n mama die pescotariër is en ik die veganist ben hebben heerlijk gegeten op een ''vuuravond''. Heel uitgebreid en verfijnd. De drank was inclusief, heel betaalbaar ook! En zo'n zalig uitzicht op het dakterras!!!

Pros: Prijs/kwaliteit dik in orde, Mooi uitzicht, Originele gerechten

Wonderful place with delicious vegan food!

I had a seitan stew and it was very tasty. They had other vegan dishes as well and I intend to go back to taste those as well. The setting is quiet original and it made the whole experience more than nice for all of us.

Pros: Nice vegan dishes, Friendly staff

Cons: None

Food on the water

Water en Vuur is a lovely restaurant situated on an old boat on the river Ijzer.

For anyone not familiar with the history of Belgium the Ijzer in Diksmuide was the frontline during WW1 and right next to Water en Vuur is the Ijzertoren which is a monument to those who died on the Ijzerfront, they also have preserved trenches there, and short distance away in the German war cemetery at Vladslo you can see the Käthe Kollwitz sculpture The Grieving Parents. Sadly there are lots of other war cemeteries and monuments in the area including the St. Julien Memorial which commemorates the Canadian soldiers killed in the first poison gas attacks along the Western Front.

I like Water en Vuur not only because of the delicious food, but the fact that it’s made with local ingredients and local beers as well. I like the interior which is industrial rather than jolly sailor style. The atmosphere is informal and there always seem to be a wide range of people that make up their clientel.

We don’t go that regularly because it’s not that local to where we live in Brugge, but if we lived nearby we’d certainly go more regularly. Certainly worth a visit if you are in the Westhoek, but service is at Belgian speed so don’t expect to pop in for a quick bite to eat.

Best Vegan food I have had in a restaurant

I can really recommend this place! Not only the setting, on a boat, but definitely the vegan food too. You can just feel the passion and honesty in the food. Even the balance of nutrients was considered, it seemed. Just loved it and worth every euro.

Pros: excellent food, friendly staff

Lovely vegan dishes

We've been here a couple of times over the years.
It's one of the few places in the wide area that standardly has vegan options: seitan stew, grilled seitan, ...

The menu has not really changed over the years (we’ve had the seitan stew on several occasions before), but given that it is prepared with vegetables from the specific season, the ingredients do vary over time.

Fries are also baked in plant oil.
Would like to see (more) vegan options for dessert though.

Service is sometimes very slow, and a bit reserved.

This is from our last visit:

Pros: Great location and special interior (boat) , vegan standardly available, Big portions!

Cons: lack of vegan desserts, sometimes very slow service, accessibility (steep stairs, boat)
