Lucky find

I have been in Brussels for a few days and have been finding it difficult to find vegan options. I happened upon this little restaurant and was so happy to see several vegan options on the menu. I had vegan antipasti to share which was really good, I especially liked the tapenade. I also had a focaccia that I ordered without soup and was a little disappointed by the size at the price of €16 and I didn't get a discount for ordering without the soup. Taste-wise, the focaccia was very good though.

Pros: Nice atmosphere, Nice staff, Tasty

Not bad, soup needed salt

Clearly labeled vegan / vegetarian. English spoken. Cards taken. Sandwich was great, soup was bland. Side salad was laughable.

Pros: Payment option, Tourist friendly, Decent sandwich

All waffles taste like banana bread

We appreciated having a gluten free option but honestly it was disappointing. The waffles have a strong banana taste and it's not what you expect for a waffle.

Yeaa... no

So I went there for a quick bite, asked how long a Focaccia would take and the waitress said 20ish minutes as it's quite busy. Totally fine with me, and it really took around that long.

Unfortunately when it arrived I was very disappointed. I got the Forever & ever (16€), which always comes with a "seasonal" soup (Pumpkin? In July?) and it was cold. Not even room temp, more like out the fridge. So very confused, I asked if it was supposed to be like that and apparently it wasn't so it was taken back to be warmed up again. Obviously in the microwave, as the cup was burning hot and the soup still piss warm. But anyways.
The Focaccio disappointed me so much. The bread was hard, which I don't expect for a fluffy focaccia?? And the filling was VERY sparse with 0 seasoning. The tofu crumble was two crumbs, avocado was 4 1mm thin slices and nothing was arranged with care, like there's not a chance to get a bite of everything at once.

Everything seemed very random to me and 16€ is simply not ok for that. Way way way too expensive.

EDIT:
Peanut Foster but blueberry waffle and no banana 13€

Tried my luck again, for a completely different dish. Was disappointed again.
The waffle itself had no real taste whatsoever, the peanut butter and ice cream were good but that's not selfmade so... I wouldn't recommend this restaurant at all.

Cozy place, delicious waffles

Both sweet and savoury waffles are available. I tried "vegan sunrise" and "blueberry dark" waffles, both are high-quality.
I was happy to find "lait russe" (espresso with a lot of milk, which can be plant-based) among the hot drinks. The French words are hard for me to pronounce, but the coffee itself was enjoyable. It somehow felt like home.
It's worth mentioning that I visited Brussels in winter, and the weather outside was not particularly pleasant, so I enjoyed the cozy warmness of the café and nutritious food even more.

Slappe koffie

De koffie was slap en waterig. Ik nam 'Fried vegan Egg morning' en het 'ei' viel me erg zwaar. Het brood en tofu waren zeer lekker. De bediening was vriendelijk en het is een gezellige en propere zaak

Pros: Propere gezellige zaak, Vriendelijke bediening

Cons: Slappe koffie

Great option in rather a vegan desert

Found it hard to get much vegan choice in Brussels, this place was super friendly and relaxed. Good choices for breakfast/brunch, we went twice in three days!

Pros: Good choice, Super friendly , Good location, indoor and outdoor seating

Cons: Some items missing on the day

The Sister Brussels offers a mix of organic fresh dishes and drinks, mainly with local products.
They have a wide range of vegan dishes.
Large gluten free range with different dishes, beers, bread and desserts…

Pros: Nette Bedienung, Biologische Produkte, Coole Location

😃😃

Came back here after visiting 2 years ago. We came at the start of the lunch hr. Food was very good however they mentioned they ran out of focaccia so we had to re order some dishes. They also accidentally canceled my sandwich and had to remake it due to the confusion. We ended up ordering a vegan chocolate waffle, soup, a breakfast dish, and the genius sandwich.

Varie opzioni vegane

Le opzioni vegane che offrono sono buone ma le porzioni sono un po’ piccole per il prezzo che ti fanno pagare.

Worth the visit!

This is a little gem in this busy city. We came here for breakfast every day that we were in Brussels. Lots of vegan options including a vegan fried egg dish! Their soup of the day was fantastic and so so so delicious. Only con was that the matcha latte I ordered could've used more matcha but they easily rectified this. Definitely go here if you're visiting!

Fantastic place

There's lots of great vegan options. You can't go wrong with pesto pasta or tofu salad. Just remember to ask for the vegan option. It's also beautiful inside. Usually, it's fully booked, so expect a bit of a wait. It's worth it

Nice healthy vegan restaurant in the heart of Brussels

They have several clearly marked vegan options. Also plant based milk for coffee.
Tofu scrambled eggs and “bacon“ were good and portion sizes were good. Nice location!

Peut-être que c'était de la malchance...

J'ai pris une gauffre qui avait un goût et une texture de carton, j'ai dû me forcer pour en manger un peu mais je n'ai pas pu manger plus de la moitié.

On a aussi eu de la malchance au niveau du cadre car il n'y avait pas de place en bas et le haut était réservé à partir d'une certaine heure donc on a pu rester une plage horaire relativement limitée. Mais ça, je pense que ce n'était qu'occasionnel.

Nice vegan options

I stopped here for breakfast and ordered a savoury vegan waffle which came with cheese, vegan bacon, tofu, rocket & sundried tomatoes. Very tasty! And nice to see savoury options for vegan waffles.

Good healthy food

We shared the vegan platter which filled us up nicely. Unfortunately they didn’t have any focaccia today so we couldn’t have a sandwich. Loads of vegan options.
