Open on Sundays - Edit
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.

Pros: Satisfying and delicious , Nice staff, Inventive menu

The Judgy Vegan - Edit
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.

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!

Nice staff, quiet, cool place - Edit
Came here on a quiet Sunday evening on a sunny day. Pleasant indoors out of the sun a bit. Something was wrong with their fridge (?) (not sure I heard properly) so we were warned about a long (30 min) delay for food, which was ok with us. Had house ice tea which was nice with mint and lemon, and metal straws. Food did come about 30 mins later. It was ok. The burger bread bun was a bit weird but I can’t put my finger on why. Plate looked a bit sparse, just burger and chips. The cheesey burger is a square version of their cheesey croquettes. Waitresses very nice. Bought a space bar from their little shop. Could not see wifi code anywhere.

Good - Edit
The staff was very nice and ready to help with any special wishes. The burgers were good (I had the seitan, my mother had the cheesy one) but I also expected a bit more from them. On Saturday evening there were many other customers, especially locals.

Expected more - Edit
Service was slow and kept forgetting things whereas we were basically the only customers. Did not like the seitan burger, unfortunately. It was also cold inside. Overall, I expected more from the Judgy Vegan.

Lousy food and service - Edit
Overall a bad experience. We expected a lot due to the reviews on Happy Cow. However, the waitress kept forgetting things. Served us the wrong beers, forgot to serve us the things we ordered etcetera. The food was lousy. The seitan burger was gross so I would not recommend. I do feel bad to not support a vegan restaurant but I have to be honest.
Read morePros: Fully vegan menu, Good beers

Not as good as expected - Edit
I ordered the meatballs dish, it was the first choice on the main course menu and had a ⭐️ next to it. I thought I can’t go wrong, especially knowing how easy it is to make vegan meatballs.
Read moreI was wrong. Meatballs were too dense and rubbery, it didn’t taste like seitan, more of just like a gluten flour balls. The sauce was overly sweet to the extent that I didn’t even want a desert at the end.
Pros: Cute hipster atmosphere , Large portions
