SERIOUSLY VISIT THIS RESTAURANT!! 100% plant based and sooooooo good (and I'm not vegan, yet 😉).
Firstly, the service was outstanding. It was pretty busy and the team managed it really well. We were a little late and then had problems parking (always the case in Leuven) but the team were so accommodating and patient.
The environment is bright and airy but also has a really lovely cosy feel and I really liked the layout. Accessible areas and wooden floor. Large door at the entrance for easy accessbility for those who require it. Well designed interior which was clean and regularly attended to.
Now the food was absolutely delicious. We shared a sloppy Joe burger, sweet potato fries with their special burger sauce (soooo good) and some cauliflower bites which were sticky and sweet with a lovely level of spice. Then I had a vegan panna cotta and the hubster had the spekaloos cheesecake (both were big winners).
I also highly recommend the cherry and mint homemade lemonade, so yummy I had 4!
We had a wonderful first visit on Valentines day and will certainly be returning to taste the rest of the...
Read moreHad a beyond burger, a warm bowl and sweet potato fries! Went there because it was vegan and had a perfect 5 star rating out 36 reviews. It was almost immediately apparent that the 5 star rating is most probably a scam (friends of friends adding fake/biased ratings). The warm bowl was totally not appetising. It costed me 7 Euros, for 10 Euros you can have a much better (in quality, quantity and richness of ingredients) at Ruba or Hawaiian Poke bowl.
The beyond burger was quite eatable but nothing more than a very basic burger. In richness it was not in anyway extra than the much cheaper Mac Veggie Deluxe (even though they claimed it had guacamole). Again throw in 4-5 Euros extra and you can enjoy a much better burger at Burger Folie.
The sweet potato fries were the best part of this dinner. The home made sauce also turned out to be quite good!
Seating was also totally not cosy.
In the end, I was happy that it was at least not very expensive. But still feel that the food was not worth the price. For an increase of 4-5 Euros per person, you can definitely have much much much...
Read moreMy boyfriend and I are visiting Leuven and we decided to try out this place. We ended up going there two days in a row. We've had the beyond burger, pulled jackfruit burger, tofu and veggie bowl and two different smoothie bowls. Every single thing was phenomenal. My favourite was the pulled jackfruit burger which I could easily eat everyday. Smoothie bowls were gorgeous and packed with good stuff. Service was great as well, very friendly. My boyfriend is a non-vegan but we both couldn't stop talking about how we loved everything.
Edit: we went there one more time to try the chicken burger and sweet potato fries, and we were offered a "special" homemade sauce to go with it, so we said yes to that of course. We were legit in disbelief how good everything was. We both agreed it was the best meal we've had during our stay. If we're ever in Leuven again that'll be the first place...
