• Great Indian food at a vegan friendly place

Bruges is not exactly vegan friendly and when I was there De Bron and Lotus were both closed for the weekend. So I resorted to a place I had copied down into my guidebook from a review I had read on a blog. It turned out to be an excellent alternative. There are a lot of vegetarian items on the menu and the waiter was very helpful and accommodating about vegan options. While he did not seem to understand the word "vegan" he was obviously familiar with the general concept. He told us that their curries are generally not made with cream but make sure you also let them know you want your food without butter (and yogurt). I took the Chana Massala with Roti and plain rice and tried the Baingann Bharta. Everything was very delicious and the portions are really big and filling. Keep in mind though that this place is rather expensive (expect to pay around EUR 20,- per person for a main dish with bread and rice plus 1 soft drink or beer) but we found that everything in Bruges is, so at least you can fill your tummies with excellent vegan food there (instead of paying EUR 8,50 for a falafel sandwich elsewhere - no kidding!)
