Fair - Edit
The place is quite inviting. Unfortunately the sushi roll we got wasn’t fresh, but desserts were amazing!

Average vegan lunch - Edit
The spicy chilli sin carne lacked spice and all the food is pre-cooked, canteen style. Quite expensive but a nice lunch spot

Un resto végane ouvert le soir! - Edit
J'ai passé trois jours à Bruxelles sans pouvoir matériellement me préparer à manger. C'était où bien une cuisine ou bien un lit. J'ai choisi le lit. Mais voilà à Bruxelles les belles propositions culinaires véganes ferment tôt et le soir c'est surtout de la junk food. Après une journée de marche, j'ai jeté mon dévolu sur un plat bien costaud: un Tibetan Mama un moelleux Omega 3. C'était très bon! Le quartier n'est pas le plus typique de Bruxelles, mais la déco du resto est très classe. Les deux employées adorables !
Read morePros: La bouffe , La déco du resto, Les employées

The bowls are really interesting and not your standard, generic "healthy bowl". I liked the ambiance and it was nice to see a good crowd there!

Bon mais beaucoup trop cher - Edit
J’ai l’impression que les portions ont été diminuées ! Avant y avait plus de générosité et là ça devient fort cher pour pas beaucoup ! On en parle des minis rouleaux à sushis a 8€ ? C’est vraiment dommage pcq c’est bon !

Very tasty homemade-style plant based food - Edit
I was happy to find fully plant based spot nearby my hotel. It is more like bistro, you can even see how the food looks like, you choose what you want, pay and eat. They have outdoor seating which is nice. I would have tried much more but I only have one stomach. Food looked very good. I tried chilli sin carne which was very tasty, had nice flavour. They also have homemade drinks. Had very lovely homemade iced tea. Also tried chocolate pecan cookie, very soft and yummy. Staff is very kind and helpful with choosing food. Overall great experience.

These are dotted around Belgium and I have been to two. Both have been delicious. The food and service is quick and it’s a less formal setting for dinner. You can follow set menus or create your own. It is also hearty and healthy.

Manageable sized menu but still a good selection. The service was super friendly. For my taste the curry was salted too little but this is only my personal view. All in all very delicious and definitely something you don’t find anywhere else. Slightly overpriced for the size of the bowls.

Awesome salads & bowls - Edit
If you want to grab a quick healthy bite for lunch- that’s the place. You can build your own salad, they have a great daily soup and amazing superseed bread. The place is small and cozy and the people are super friendly. The pumpkin salad was super good. Their lemonade wasn’t.

Great food - Edit
Just next to the Commission you have this great place. The food is realatively cheap I'd say, 12-14 euros for a main dish, and the staff is very friendly. The food is also very tasty. I had a yellow curry, which they added kimchi to, and that was so tasty. You'll get healthy and organic food here, and most importantly, it's delicious.
