Tasty simple food

Got dinner here first night in Brussels. Was a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere with clearly labelled vegan options. Got the fries and "vegan tenders". They look a little funny, but tasted great, especially with ketchup. Kinda jealous I didnt get the sweet potato fries, but maybe next time :)

Pros: Clear vegan options, Tasty & simple food, Friendly atmosphere

Good chips but that's about it

We had the tempura de champignons and "vegan nuggets" and neither were quite what we were expecting. Tempura is supposed to be a light, almost fluffy batter -- these were heavily fried, although they used oyster mushrooms which was interesting. The vegan nuggets were really quite strange. Triangles of seaweed and cubes of beetroot and sweet potato (or maybe carrot), compressed and deep fried, with an almost jelly-like interior. Definitely interesting, but overall not great.

Pros: Vegan items on menu are well labelled, Chips were good

Cons: Tempura was too fried, Vegan nuggets were strange

Love the frites, great sauces (beetroot ketchup, apple curry, aioli etc). The fried mushrooms are incredible!

All frites now vegan

Tasty friterie with clearly marked vegan options. The chips are now definitely vegan - they are marked on the menu board as such and the website says ‘Nos Frites sont cuites à l’huile végétale’ which means they are cooked in vegetable oil.

The vegan tenders are odd - cold jellylike triangles - but the mushroom tempura and chips are great! They also sell beer (alcoholic and alcohol free).

Nice option

Nice option when going out for fries with non-vegans, they don't have vegan fries but at least sweet potato fries as an alternative. The chef ketchup was a bit odd, didn't taste like ketchup at all, I'd guess it was made of beetroot, judging by the colour and taste. If you like beetroot it might be a nice creative version of ketchup, I would've preferred normal tomato ketchup

Shouldn't be on Happycow

I truly don't understand why this place is on Happycow. Of course it's nice that they clearly mark which dressings are vegan, but when their main product - the actual french fries - contain beef fat, you really only have one option, namely the sweet potato fries. With so many other options in the city, that hardly warrants a listing.

Hello dear,
I couldn't agree more. don't hesitate to send an "update" asking that the place be removed. (I'll do it myself)

Mérite 5 étoiles

Parfait pour manger un p'tit snack rapidement,
Les frites de patate douce sont hyper bonnes, les meilleurs que j'ai mangé honnêtement, et il y a un très grand choix de sauce. Les tempura de Pleurote sont aussi bonnes que grasse, ça remplis bien l'estomac !
Les options Vegan sont clairement affiché, l'aïoli est super bon.
Le service est très cool et rapide, rien à redire.

Pros: Plusieurs choix Vegan , Très quali

Cons: Poutine pas vegan 😢

Belgian Fries

Upscale Belgian fries snack with homemade fries (regular or sweet potatoes), sauces and "croquettes".
Vegan clearly marked. It was very satisfying though it's too bad the regular fries are cooked in beef grease (belgian tradition)and only the sweet potatoes are cooked in oil.

Pros: Filling, Nice interior and terrace

Cons: regular fires not vegetarian

Ok but...

In the begining, vegan options are clearly labeled on the menu, now you need to ask
The smells of beef in the place is strong
Sometimes sweet potateos french fries is good, sometimes isn't, I don't know why

Pros: Vegan options, Local food, Big space

Cons: Quality not always the same, French fries : only sweet potatoes, The place smells beef
