Brussels vegan option - Edit
I wasn't able to find too many vegan options in Brussels, so I was really excited to try The Judgy Vegan on our first night in town. It was easy to find, which is a plus, and they had a few gluten free menu options, which I appreciate. Unfortunately the meal I ordered was really underwhelming and the dessert I chose was very bland and texturally displeasing. The frites and dipping sauce was nice.
Read moreThe staff was really nice, but also very slow even though there were only a handful of tables at the time.
My partner really enjoyed his meal, so perhaps I just ordered the wrong things.
Overall it's a great concept and I appreciate the vegan and gluten free options, but there is some room for improvement to help the overall experience.
Pros: gluten free options
Cons: underwhelming food

a bit disappointed - Edit
sadly, the interior & the ambiance wasn’t nice & the food was not that good either. I ordered the Seitan Burger which was really dry & expensive and my friend found a piece of plastic in his food. The croquettes de fromage végétal were quite good & the seitan wings were fine too. The restaurant is huge and they could make so much of it, so that’s pretty sad. Overall We weren’t that happy, but it wasn’t horrible, I just wouldn’t recommend the Burger.

Pros: croquettes de fromage végétal

TheJudgyVegan
Hello Corinna,
Read moreI am a bit surprised by your review, since we have not offered the seitan wings for at least the last 6 months till today.
In the last 6 months we also repainted and redecorated a big part of our venue.
Our seitan burger is now always dipped in a homemade sauce in order to ensure a juicy fried taste.
I am sorry to read you had a disappointing experience.
We're constantly striving to enhance our offerings and provide a better experience to our customers

Sorry, I should’ve mentioned that we were there in September 2022. I would love to go a second time to try your new stuff and see the interior tho! Thank you a lot for taking the time to reply to my review! :)

Tasty food but not stellar place - Edit
Went here based on the other HappyCow reviews. Was disappointed to find many items on the menu not available, would have appreciated being told when we were first seated. Food was very tasty when it came but don’t expect a very quick meal, the service is relaxed.
Read moreThe place was dirtier than I would expect given the prices, felt maybe a bit understaffed as several tables needed a wipe and the floor needed a sweep.
The bathroom is gender neutral, which is nice, but there was no way to dry your hands.
Overall food was good and I always want to support vegan places, but this place could do with some polishing!

Very enjoyable! - Edit
This vegan restaurant was overall very good!The food was very enjoyable, the service was great, and the atmosphere nice. The meatball meal was very interesting and tasty! I had never tried this Belgian dish before and it was definitely worth trying! The sauce was excellent. There were a few small things I didn’t love, but it’s more personal preference. Overall worth going for sure!

The well known vegan place in Brussels - Edit
The Judgy Vegan? A safe bet for vegans and plant based food lovers from Brussels. Go there, you won't be disappointed! Whether you want to have their savory, plant based versions of Belgian food, or you feel more like a sweet teeth with the pastries and cakes, you'll find something to enjoy!

Nice atmosphere, good food - Edit
Good options in a nice area of Brussels. It is a little bit far away from the tourist center, but worth the walk.
Read moreThe only reason that i am not giving 5 stars is that i didn't feel that everything was fresh/homemade.
Restaurant is big, so can be a good place for larger groups.

Good for Brussels, but could improve - Edit
I came here since it is one of the only vegan restaurants in central Brussels. The menu is only available digitally and not on paper, which was a bit annoying. I had a burgher - that’s pretty much all that was on the menu. It was a bit mushy, but tasty enough. I wasn’t impressed enough by the main course to bother with dessert.
Read moreJudgy Vegan is a decent restaurant, but could be a bit better. Prices are on the higher end - I think I paid around EUR16.

Not that impressed - Edit
Love finding 100% vegan cafes and really wanted to like this one, but have to agree with the previous review - food just wasn’t that tasty. We had the boulets sauce liegeoise (lovely chips, tiny bit of salad and the boulets were hard and not especially tasty) plus the burger forestier (again, nice chips but burger just ok). Milkshake was lovely. Homemade lemonade was ok. Staff were lovely though and the cakes looked delicious.
Read morePros: Nice chips!, Lovely staff
Cons: Pretty pricey, Not that tasty
