Great experience - Edit
A relaxed place like you would otherwise only find in Berlin. I came with a vegan friend and had the burger Hot Stuff with fries. Really enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere, the staff was friendly (and not at all judgy ;)), too. Will definitely come back.

Not good. - Edit
Nice concept but burgers unfortunately burnt, fries burnt and drowned in salt. A pity.

Hello
Read moreI am terribly sorry to read that your burgers were not cooked properly.
This should of course not happen, it is very important to us, that people enjoy the food we prepare.
I have talked to the kitchen staff that was cooking yesterday in order to adress this and to make sure that such mistakes do not happen again.
Please note that while we always thrive to serve impeccable food, mistakes can happen. In that case we are always open to listen and if given the chance, fix the problem on site immediately.
Have a nice Sunday,
Julie

Ok food - Edit
Nice and cosy place in the centre of Brussels. Happy to find vegan food there. Not so many options on the menu though, just a few burgers and then a few other things. Burgers were decent. I had the risotto, which was not that inspiring and small portion for the price.

Tasty comfort food - Edit
I went there with a friend for my first vegan brunch and loved it. There's good choice of comfort food, more than you can eat and a great atmosphere just around the corner of the flea market. Cakes and donuts are super tasty and the owners' are passionate about what they are doing. Female entrepreneurship as I like it. Will definitely return!
Read morePS: Now they are also offering hand cut fries. Where else would you get those? Since my first visit, I have returned numerous times. As a digital nomad, it's one of my preferred work places in Brussels :)

Overrated - Edit
I don't get the enthusiasm. I've eaten several times at that place, then chosen not to go anymore.
Read moreThe service is really, really slow. We waited one hour to be served a burger and a salad. I get that the staff is not robots, and I don't mind a little wait. Heck, I wouldn't mind a one-hour wait if it was worth it.
The cake we ate was meh, kind of dry and sticky. The caesar salad is pricey for the quality. The food in general is not original nor special, I could make the same at home for half the price. French fries are good though.
However, the place is nice and very inclusive. That may be the only thing I admire, it's a real vegan place with real social values.
Pros: French fries, Inclusive
Cons: Service , Food quality , Pricey

I am very sorry to read that you were disappointed.
Read moreOur hard-working team takes feedback very seriously and is eager to further improve our offer and your experience. I assume it has been some time ago that you visited us.
Since January, we are not offering the caesar salad anymore.
We are also aware and apologize that some months ago, the waiting times could get quite long. We were understaffed due to the health issues of one of our associates and probably not at our best.
In the meantime, we have been hiring and made several improvements across the board. I hope you will visit us again and enjoy it.
Please note though that we will never be able to match the same price as you would pay at home. On top of the costs for ingredients we have to pay for rent, labor, VAT, electricity etc.
Have a nice day,
Julie

Best Vegan Spag Bol - Edit
I admit we chose this place purely for the name, but the food was excellent. Probably the best vegan spag bol we've ever and also recommend the briquettes.
Read moreWe arrived at opening time and it was empty but really filled up within 30 mins.
Pros: All vegan, Allows table revervations, Out of tourist centre, but not too far.

Peace - Edit
We loved this place. Their philosophy and what they stand for (Vegan against h/l/t-phobia!!! Pizza rolls not gender roles!!!), their obsession with Harry Potter (you can park your groom!)... We also loved the food and drinks (like cappuccino with Oatly) AND the relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent vegan comfort and junk food at a great location! - Edit
It is an excellent place, vegan food and lovely staff.
Read moreThe food is all vegan, so you don't have to worry about that, because they are pretty specialized in making things that come pretty close to what people are used to eating as non-vegan in fast food for example.
This applies to all kinds of burgers, nachos, vol-au-vent..... and some delicious desserts.
It's a great experience to taste what they are all capable to make, of being vegan.
Now the planned food-based alternatives of something that people used to know otherwise, are not really my kind of thing, now I really enjoyed the experience and tasting it.
I go there to show people the opportunity and also with the children to give them the alternative experience.
Nice place for lunch, coffee/dessert afternoon or dinner, and if you're new to vegan and visiting Brussels, highly recommended!
I provided them with the HC sticker.
There is also a small shop and a second-hand clothes shop.
Pros: Nice place, Excellent vegan comfort food, Lovely staff
Cons: None

I love that place and what they do - Edit
I don’t know how to say about this place. I saw that people complaining about that not healthy food. They never say they are an healthy restaurant.
Read moreI went there two times in my two day trip in Brussels. They made what I call « confort food » and they do it perfectly!
The Mac&Cheese, burgers, croque monsieur, pastries, everything is really good. The room is just perfect to chill, i felt confortable. The staff is so kind! And they are engaged in many causes that I support to, so this is a 10/10 for me. They inspire me a lot !
Pros: Confort food , Good atmosphere , Low price

Good burger in a nice place - Edit
One of the only vegan places on the city, right next to the Palais de Justice. Serves hamburgers, coffee, cakes and brunch. I had a good tofu burger that would have been excellent if it would have something on the side. The place is cozy and nice and service was excellent.
Read morePros: Nice place, Big portions, Enough flavour
Cons: Hamburger had no side dish

Good but somewhat disappointing - Edit
We needed a place like this in Brussels, that's all vegan, offers cakes, brunch & burgers with lots of seating. But somehow the food and the choice doesn't fully live up to the expectations. It's good, but not great. Staff is super nice, events they throw are really cool and the cakes are very tasty. Brunch is fine, a large selection but nothing you couldn't make yourself. The burger patties are good, but they don't serve french fries and the buns are always cold, don't know why. No alcohol, cool sofas & music. I've been many times and will likely return to support the cause and because we don't have that many options in Brussels but I feel like it could be better.
Read morePros: All vegan, Tasty cakes
Cons: Ok food

Okay food, tasty cakes - Edit
This place is what it is - if you don't go expecting fresh/healthy food, it's quite alright. That is: they have croques and burgers which are all completely made of industrialised products, with very little veggies, so not very healthy, and the taste is just okay. What I do really like about this place though are the cakes! I've had several different ones and they were all pretty tasty!The brunch is nice too, you get a lot of food and it's nice and varied.
Read moreTo sum: I like the ambiance and concept, but wish they would step up with the food - they could continue making "comfort food" (mac and cheese, burgers, etc) but if they used fresh ingredients, it would make a real difference.
Pros: Nice space, Tasty cakes
Cons: Not fresh, Too industrialised

One of the best vegan places in Brussels! - Edit
This place is really relaxed in a home cooking kind of way. The staff are really friendly and there is plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. The food is great and the cheesus burger is unlike any vegan burger I’ve tried before, kind of like a fried patty with gooey cheese inside. I’d say give the nachos a go, it’s a huge portion with plenty of toppings!
Read morePros: Welcoming vibe in the store , Lots of seating

Want to wait forever for rather inedible food? - Edit
Ordered a croque off the menu (these account for half the menu) and was told there were none available on Saturdays. Why? No clue. Ordered a burger, mac and cheese, and chocolate cake. Got the cake first, which was bone dry, stale, inedible. Waited at least 45 minutes for the burger, which was nothing more than a blob of mush on a hard bun. I’m sorry to leave a bad review for a vegan place, but was even sorrier to spend WAY too much of my precious time in Brussels waiting for extremely sub-par food that makes veganism look (and taste) bad. Skip it! Cute name, though. Trying to give one star but the app won’t let me ....
Read morePros: Vegan, Friendly people
Cons: Very slow service (45 minutes after ordering), Mushy burgers; inedibly dry cake , Half the menu was “not available”

in a pinch. - Edit
a lovely space with oily bland food. we had mac and cheese, the forestiere burger and a hot dog croque. this is not health food and it barely comforted so...what is it? it’s semi-creative home cooking, with no regard to fat content or nutrition. the burger was made of mushroom and tofu so it’s mushy and crumbly, i get that. desserts looked old and appetizing, so we passed. coffee was very tasty. in a space that looks like it’s a children’s pre-school when it’s not a restaurant. i’d try it one more time hoping for better the second go around.
Read morePros: lots of indoor seating, outdoor seating too, peaceful if not serious service. not unfriendly
Cons: bland, oily, subtly flavored, messy behind the counter, is someone living here part time??

Mostly great - Edit
Had a toasted sandwich with sausages and onion. It was really yummy but if you're hungry get the double, not the single. I also had cheesecake which was alright, but super lumpy and the brownie base was really hard. The staff were really helpful and it is such a chilled place to hang out!

Nice place, good burger - Edit
I went to the Judgy Vegan and got a a burger and an orange juice. The burger was very big and really good, one of the best I've ever had. Definitely check this place out! It also has lots of options, including cakes, and the place is really nice, also to relax while reading a book or with friends. Highly recommended!

vegan brunch extravagance - Edit
This place is amazing! If you are in Brussels this is a must visit.
Read moreThe owners are so welcoming and friendly. They decorated the place with a twist by using slogans for example. As it's a calm side street it's nice to sit outside on the terrace.
We ordered a brunch for the both of us and got some options to choose from. The food was delicious. But there was so much!! I can normally eat quite much but I had to give in and get out my tupperware for the last few dishes. Plus side is that we enjoyed the for the rest of the day. For the delicious comfort food brunch with so many different dishes (granola with yoghurt, cupcake, pacakes, mac and cheese, grilled cheese sandiwshes,..), the price is really reasonable.
Pros: extensive vegan brunch, outside sitting area
