Pleasant atmosphere

This is a nice, relaxed place to eat. There is basically one main lunch dish, which usually consists of a variety of salads, hot items. It's not out of this world, but is pleasant and filling. Not expensive, for Brussels. The staff are friendly. Downstairs is a health food shop with a good selection (sadly though I think I saw fish products the last time I was there).

Pros: Price, Vegan, Relaxed

Cons: Old fashioned food

Spring lunch at Den Teepot

I went to Den Teepot today for lunch with my parents, sister and young nieces - i was the only vegan, the others are all carnivores!
The cafe was on the 2nd floor of a wonderfully yellow building with a great organic health shop underneath also selling a selection of vegi cheeses, fresh bread and vegan and vegi cakes. We went up a stairway at the front of the shop, assuming it was the way to the cafe, as it wasn't signposted, and found the wonderfully airy and simply designed dining room.
The menu was tiny as they only did a dish of the day or soup...plus extras of rice, bread or salad. The kids ate the same as us but just smaller portions. What came was actually very tasty, lovely flavours all on a plate together: rice, pasta with delicious toasted seeds, endives, a small salad, a tofu-ey mushroom thing and a little pile of hot veg - sounds like alot but there was only a tiny portion of each. It was all yummy but i could have eaten a bit more! My family ordered some bread as they were still quite hungry, and the waitress popped downstairs to the shop and cut some organic brown bread for us, it was lovely but with no soy butter, balsamic vinegar or oil for dipping, in hindsight we should've ordered it to come with the meal.
Although i didn't have a dessert, they did look nice: vanilla and chocolate soy pudding and a cake selection.
So all in all, i enjoyed it very much and was very excited to have gone there. I would definitely go again, but order bread with the meal.
So my conclusions are: delicious and simple, although a little plain and not much choice.

Pros: Delicious, Great shop, friendly staff

Cons: Small portions, No choice, Expensive considering portion size

BEST in the West

As someone who travels a lot in Europe.. and has been to a number of vegetarian vegan restaurants and cafes in the various countries I can honestly say that Den Teepot is the BEST Vegan place I have been to! :) Not only are the meals filling, delicious and healthy.. it is COMPLETELY Vegan.

The Dagshotel or dish of the day is terrific so I'm never put off by the lack of choice. Your plate is always filled with about 5 different things so its like having 5 different meals in one! yum! Maybe its because they use the fresh organic produce from the amazing and vast shop downstairs.. but there really is something in the flavours.

Service is efficient - really quick! - and friendly. A popular place.. dont get there too late or you avoid dissapointment!
One thing to note tho is that their cakes, allbeit there are vegan options arent the best Ive tasted... for the best vegan deserts.. ever! head across town to La Tsampa in Ixelles. A little pricey but worth it.

Pros: 100% Vegan, Healthy, Delicious Food

Cons: not the nicest desserts, only open for a few hours at lunchtime
