Vegan buffet hemel! - Edit
In Noordoever kan je genieten van zowel een warm als koud buffet vol met lekkere plantaardige gerechten. Er is altijd wat nieuws aangezien ze werken met lokale en seizoensgebonden producten. Ook is er een ruime keuze aan heerlijke desserts achteraf.
Read moreNoordoever ligt aan de Vaartkom in Leuven dus erg gezellig aan het water. De eigenaar en het personeel zijn ook zeer vriendelijke mensen.
Noordoever is ons favoriete restaurant en raden wij iedereen aan. Want hier geniet je optimaal van de plantaardige keuken in gezellige omgeving.
Pros: Gezellige omgeving, Veel keuze, Lokaal winkeltje

NOT VEGAN! Tasty but very expensive - Edit
EDIT Feb 2021: Restaurant is NOT VEGAN!! I asked why not, and he said some things you simply cannot make vegan without compromising taste like a brownie. Not nice! Previous review: They really do a top job of injecting flavor into all their dishes. Almost everything is vegan, every dish clearly labeled to include allergens as well. A normal sized plate is 22€ average for me. Then there's dessert for I think another 5€ and ice cream for 4€.

Vegan buffet with homemade food - Edit
The food is very fresh and the options are various. All the buffet is vegan, excluding some desserts. The restaurant is very nice and located in a very calm area. A very nice option for a meal in Leuven.

Mostly vegan buffet pay by weight - Edit
It's very fun as a vegan to try so many different dishes and combinations. The only dish in the whole buffet which was lacto-ovo was one brownie. Why not just make the buffet vegan???
Read moreBanana bread- nice if a bit basic for the price (5.80)
Apple cake and ice cream - top notch combo
Seitan chimichurri: succulent and delicious
Pros: Buffet pay by weight concept, Good quality, especially the seitan
Cons: They had one non-vegan item in the whole buffet, A bit pricey

Many dishes are available each day. You can choose how much you get from each dish and you pay for the weight on the plate. Every dish is clearly labeled with ALL the ingredients. Most food is vegan. They have very nice coffee as well.

Vegetarian buffet cafe-restaurant (pay-per-gram) - Edit
Delicious vegetarian buffet restaurant & café where you pay the buffet per gram. Serves salade-style buffet (but don't worry, there's enough to eat, even for big eaters like myself!), soup, bread and delicious pastries for dessert.
Read moreHot and cold drinks, including alcohol and lemonades (not sugar free). Plant based milk is available - I don't know whether they serve cow's milk, but the pastries and buffet are NOT vegan.
The buffet changes regularly, so I often come back to see what they have to offer!
Large open, but cosy interior with seating for both big and small groups (long or separate tables). Has books and sells snacks.
Out of the city centre in the desolate & expensive new neighborhood at the 'Vaart'. Not cheap, but decently priced. E.g. for 2 times the dish on the picture, the grapefruit juice, 2 chocolate pastries AND the latte, I paid about €30, which I don't find overly priced for such an extensive and healthy meal, so I'll be back regularly! 🤗

Tasty buffet - Edit
Vegetarian buffet but almost everything is vegan.
Read moreYou take a plate and load up on dishes you like. It’s worldwide kitchen so you can eat things like lasagna, moussaka, Asian dishes, African dishes,… Most things are really tasty but also had a few things which were okay.
The thing is with loading up your plate, the heavier your plate is, the more you pay so it can end up pricy.
For the sweets they also have a small buffet with sweets from Tartelies and Madam Bakster.
While I really like the food here, I think I’m missing a personal touch bc the only moment you talk with the staff is when paying at the desk.
Pros: Lovely food
Cons: A bit impersonal

Good but expensive. Drinks are a rip-off! - Edit
This restaurant is one of the few options available in the new property developments in the area of the former industrial zone of Stella-Artois breweries near the canal.
Read moreThe place pleasant albeit noisy.
Food at the buffet is excellent, definitely pricey given the simple ingredientsvbut acceptably so given the quality. However drinks are at outrageous prices. 9€ a bottle of water? Come on!

Awesome concept. Great food - Edit
Located in the beautifully restored, cosy and quiet Vaartkom area, this restaurant offers a great experience. There is a buffer with plenty of dishes, and you pay per gram. Lots of different dishes, mostly vegan. Only problem I had here was that I wanted to try all of them but my stomach was too small!

Very tasty & creative cuisine - Edit
I just had dinner here with my family and they all loved it even though none of them are vegan or even vegetarian. Personally, I especially loved their creativity and the wild mushroom stew, as well as the raspberry cashew "cheesecake". Also, congrats on the interior! Will definitely return.
