Nice vegan meal - Edit
We enjoyed the meal, but would’ve liked some more vegetables with it. Cool place we would’ve missed if we had not checked happy cow!

Nice place, but nothing special - Edit
Friendly service but slow. The salad missed some more care. The building and the area are nice though.

Good selection, delicious food - Edit
We had the lasagna, the seitan burger, with the houmous bowl as a side, which was a bit too much food for two people. It was all delicious, though. The place is rather big and seemed a little understaffed with only two people working, which meant perhaps a bit too much waiting time. Would definitely go back, though.

Cool place with a lot of different options, particularly great if you want to try the Belgian classic - boules des liegois.

Good food in Central Brussels - Edit
It's fully vegan, cosy atmosphere and nice food. We had the cheese croquettes, the spicy seitan burger, the boulets liégeoise and the oreo cake. Everything was quite good. The staff is very kind ❤️

Fab place - Edit
Thanks again to Happy Cow we found this place about a20 min walk from the city centre. Loved the vibe around this area and The Judgy Vegan fits well in.
Read moreNot a huge menu but enough variety, from “meatballs” and chips & lasagne, to salads and “chicken” tenders. Delicious food, friendly service. Outside seating as well as plenty of indoor space.
Would’ve loved to have some cake but was just too full. Would definitely come back if we were staying in Brussels longer.

Yummy - Edit
Had a delicious brunch there. We had the omelette, pain perdu and lobster roll. Lobster roll is very unique and yummy. The Omelette was quite filling and a little dry, but the spinach on top balanced it out perfectly. The pain perdu was very good with nice toppings (blueberry coulis, mango and vanilla sauce). The staff was very friendly as well. We also got free (tap) water refill, which is always nice. Would definitely recommend to check it out :).

We were very happy with our food from the Judgy Vegan. Service was friendly and not too slow, and although it wasn't cheap, we weren't unhappy with the prices. We would go again.

Friendly - Edit
Staff is super friendly. Food is a liitle too meeeh for the price. 15 mins walk from central train station. Maybe stick to nachos, this is probably the best value for money. Good coffee, a few nice seats outside.

Decent - Edit
Nice welcoming place with great staff. The food was OK, nothing too special but I did enjoy it, especially the seitan wings. Prices are on the higher side. Would go again.

A delight - Edit
Sweet staff, delicious and satisfying food, plenty of seating (and small patio with room for 5-6 ppl). The vibe is very casual with eclectic decor, not fancy but homey.
Read moreTried my first-ever lobster roll with a side of seitan wings (could have used more dipping sauce), and a cherry milkshake. Yummy and filling!
Pros: Satisfying and delicious , Nice staff, Inventive menu

I liked the ethos of the place and the interior was comfortable to sit and chill. Staff are friendly. Food is just ok, nothing special or unique. Love the name though!

Good to try out! - Edit
Overall I like this place and have been there dozens of times. The food is good, although a little pricey. There is a good diversity of food and the change the menu from time to time. They also sell various stuff you would find in a show. I've never had to complain about the service. However, it takes time to be served, but that might be because they are understaffed...
Read morePros: tasty food, Diversity, Good service
Cons: a bit long to be served (depends on days and time), some dishes are a little pricey

Ok but not fabulous - Edit
Endroit très sympa. Vend aussi des produits vegan (pâte à tartiner, chocolat, cookies, céréales...)
Read moreJ'ai trouvé le burger au Seitan un peu sec. Ça manque un peu de garniture et la salade en side m'a été survendue. Elle mériterait d'être un peu plus généreuse.
Les frites et le gâteau amandes framboises étaient bien bons.
Malheureusement on n'as pas eu le choix du dessert et on a du se précipiter pour en réserver alors que le restaurant était encore ouvert pour au moins une heure et demie encore.
Pros: 100% vegan, Well located, Desserts
Cons: Salad (side) too small, Dry burger, Pricy

Super tasty, great atmosphere! - Edit
We went to this place without any special expectations, but it's been the best restaurant we went to in Brussels so far. The menu is great, they offer a good choice of beverages and the service is super kind and fast. We definitely recommend this place not only for fellow vegans but everyone who fancies a relaxed atmosphere and yummy food.

Enttäuschend - Edit
Das Essen war nicht das beste. Wir haben einen Cheeseburger bestellt und er enthält nur Käse und Kraut. Mein Essen fehlt Gewürze und Geschmack. Ich war enttäuscht weil ich diese Bewertungen gelesen habe ich dachte dass das Essen großartig wäre. Der Ananas-Apfel Saft war lecker.

Becoming a "valeur sûre" - Edit
I've been to this place a couple of times since its opening, and I must say it has improved a lot over the years and after many adjustments (in the concept, the menu, the opening times, and the quality of the food), it seems to have now reached some stability.
Read moreLately I had the salad with the "sea croquettes", which I recommand highly.
Pros: Belgian specialities, Cool location, Beers

Dissapointing - Edit
We love vegan burgers and we were super excited to try out this one(there was a lot of hype online.)
Read moreBut we left feeling dissapointed, sad and unsatisfied.
The seitanburger was boring, the patty was tasteless and not good at all. Fries came with a tiny portion of sauce, and since this is a restaurant(meal costing 15€)and not a snackbar, you would assume that we would get ketchup or more mayo for free, but they charged 60 cents for it. (Ketchup was a normal market ketchup from the fridge?)
When the waitress asked how it was and we told that we did not really enjoyed it
She offered a free piece of chokolate cake, we were really grateful and thought it was very nice of her
But then the cake arrived, and it was just embarassing
The strawberry on top of it was brown and mushy
Cake: dry and honestly, tasted really old
Couldnt finish it either
Staff tried their best to be nice so that it would have been a nice experience for us.
The place was cozy with sofas and games. Livingroom vibe

Great soul food - Edit
A while ago we spent a nice evening at this restaurant. The food was great and the prices more than acceptable. The atmosphere was nice and welcoming, although you shouldn‘t go there when in a hurry. Definitely will go there again for another Cheesus Burger!
