Love its name to begin with ;) - Edit
It's well located near the Midi and central station, has various options of vegan products to buy(from snacks to skin care products), and the staff are friendly! Some of the food I ordered were good and some were just ok - my favorite was arancini and the cream tart😉I'd love to visit again to try schnitzel and a few others.

Good vegan lasagna - Edit
It’s difficult to find vegan pasta while travelling, so I ordered the lasagna. It tasted good and was also a large serving.

Lovely all vegan dinner - Edit
We enjoyed the Boulettes Liegeous and the schnitzel with lemonaids and fries. Good portions and tasty food. Could have used a bit more seasoning but salt was provided on the table and I prefer adding it myself than having it too salty to be honest. Highly recommended!
Read morePros: Liège style meatballs, Schnitzel, Lemonade
Cons: Food needed a bit more salt

Delicious food - Edit
Made a trip to the judgy vegan between trains at Brussels Midi - is about a fifteen/twenty minute walk to and from the station. Well worth a visit if you have a longer layover as there's little else near the station serving good vegan food.
Read moreGreat menu and delicious food with a good drinks selection as well. Had the lasagne which was delicious (could have used a little more tofu filling) and some great chips with mayo. My mum had the asparagus salad and very much enjoyed it.
Service was friendly and helpful but it is a laid back space and food is home cooked, so don't go here if you're in a rush.
They also sell vegan products like non perishable food, chocolates and snacks and household products. This alongside a massive selection of cakes.
Pros: Delicious food, Relaxing open space, Friendly service

Tastes healthy - Edit
I took the lasagna and it was good. It tasted like home made and healthy but not overwhelmingly good. The staff was friendly and the place was spacious

Super-Schnitzel! - Edit
Als Starter gab es die Käse-Kroketten - knusprige Panade mit einem zarten geschmolzenen „Käse“-Kern. Danach kam das Schnitzel auf den Tisch - das war wirklich XXL, super knusprig & super lecker! Dazu richtig gute Fritten & ein abwechslungsreicher Beilagensalat mit Feigenstückchen. Die Location ist auch toll - rustikaler Charme, ganz nach meinem Geschmack. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tasty lasagne - Edit
Lasagne was delicious. Food was not too fat, which can often be an issue. Unfortunately it was cold inside the restaurant and we had to wait very long for our food, however it was prepared fresh and everything was tasty. We tried aranchini, belgian balls, lasagne, seitan schnitzel, cheescake with lavender and everything was nice.

Why the hype? - Edit
I never want to hate on vegan restaurants but I was underwhelmed with the food. We started off with the croquettes and they were very good, needed a dipping sauce or something else but these were the best things we ate. I ordered the risotto, it was bland bland bland. Salt didn’t even help, my husband got the lasagna which was good but very sweet for some reason. Staff was super nice, wish they had merchandise even though I didn’t love the food the name of this place is funny.
Read morePros: The name is hilarious, Super nice staff, Vegan wine
Cons: Bland food, No merchandise available, Menu seemed all over the place

Recherché mais... - Edit
Après en avoir beaucoup entendu parler, nous avons été déjeuner au Judjy Vegan : nous avons pris un peu de tout, pour goûter à tout. Les plats sont "recherchés" c'est vrai mais manque un peu de saveur 🫣 nous les avons trouvé un peu fade de manière générale.

Much potential - Edit
No mass production.
Read moreNice place and friendly staff.
Bold chosen flavours … authentic and a good solid basis to start from.
but, they could do so much more to make it awesome instead of good.
I wish it was my place. I would try to scale it to its true potential. The outside need renovation and inside needs some finishing up here and there.
On a Saturday atdinnertime only 6 clients…..
Pros: Place has great potential
Cons: Lacking in a simple backgroundmusic

Belle découverte ! ✨️ - Edit
Le lieu est très agréable, avec beaucoup d'espace et une déco simple et chaleureuse.
Read moreIl y a également une petite épicerie !
Côté plats, honnêtement ce sont LES MEILLEURS ARANCINI que j'ai jamais mangés, je ne peux que recommander cette entrée ~
Pour les boulettes, spécialité belge véganisée, la sauce était très bonne, les boulettes peut-être un peu trop denses.
Les lasagnes rendaient un peu d'eau mais très bonnes également.
Niveau dessert, rien à redire, celui a la mangue était excellent !
A ne pas louper en passant par Bruxelles 🌱
Pros: LES ARANCINI. JUSTE TROP BONS., L'ambiance et la petite épicerie bien fournie , Les desserts
Cons: Épicerie un peu cher mais ça peut aller, Les boulettes de viande un peu trop denses

Mediocre food with steep prices - Edit
We had high expectations when coming. Especially for that much money. But it was really dissatisfying to eat.
Read moreThe cheese sticks where not too bad but lacking seasoning and presentation, you would expect when paying 8€ for 4 of them.
The meatballs and the sauce were really disgusting taste wise and the consistence. Fries were good, salad was good.
The lasagna was quite tasteless and watery. Again if you pay 5€ for it I would say it’s good. But my expectations for triple the price are high.
Bought some chocolate that were good.
Paying 1,50€ per person for tap water is just ridiculous. That [censored] runs for almost free out of the tap. It should be forbidden in Europe to do this to customers.
The people working there were nice though.
Overall would not recommend this place.
Cons: Steep prices, Presentation of the starters, 1,50€ for tap water

Bad Seitan - Edit
Coming from the UK, who seem to have plenty of restaurants that have perfected fake meat, this place felt like going back 10 years in veganism. Nice atmosphere, staff, starter and drinks, but the mains were just pure seitan, not well cooked and extremely dense. Good portion sizes but the amount of seitan made me feel sick!

Endroit sympa, mais plats décevants - Edit
Endroit agréable, entièrement végane. La serveuse est très gentille et très sympathique. Le décor est agréable. Malheureusement, globalement, les plats étaient moyens. Les arancinis n'avaient pas de goût, les nachos étaient bons sans plus, les frites étaient bonnes et la sauce des boulets vraiment bonne. Cependant les boulets en eux mêmes n'avaient pas de goût, le burger moyen, et les lasagnes étaient correctes, sans plus. La salade n'avait pas trop de goût non plus. Décevant dans l'ensemble.

Amazing lasagne and meatballs - Edit
I loved it here. I saw the reviews about the wait times but didn't have any problems myself. The lasagne was very creamy and nice. The meatballs and sauce were amazing. The portions are bigger than I thought - the plates are huge so the photos make it look like the portions are smaller than they are.

Excellent kimchi, flexible friendly service - Edit
First of all: I love the name. This place is a cafe/store/restaurant that’s laid back. I had the vegan lasagna which was well constructed and tasteful, though a bit too sweet for my taste. I saw they served kimchi with their curry dish and I really wanted to try that, they were flexible enough to give me a small bowl of kimchi as a side dish. I’m curious to try more of their stuff.
Read morePros: Kimchi , Flexibility , Friendly and casual staff
Cons: The music was a bit annoying

👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 - Edit
That was the worst vegan meal! my friend waited over half an hour for his milkshake. Others who came after us were served drinks. I took a cheese fondue. and got cold side dishes with cold potato slices, sausage slices and mushrooms. They were supposed to be warmed up in the cheese fondue, but the cheese fondue itself wasn't even hot. The candle that was at the bottom was almost empty and it went out shortly after serving. I let the staff know and they gave me a new candle and warmed up the side dishes again, but it was still cold so I had to ask again if they could please warm it up. Only then did they fry the things and the potatoes, mushrooms and sausages were warm. In terms of taste, the side dishes were not seasoned and were really not tasty. The cheese fondue didn't taste like cheese and was really not tasty. I just found the price-performance ratio to be very bad. The fondue with a few potato slices, 4 sausage slices and a few mushrooms cost €18.50! I started eating where my friend had already finished his burger. the burger was okay. I felt more sick after eating than feeling full and happy. But the staff was very friendly to our dog.
