Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere - Edit
Most of the menu is vegan or vegetarian, with some limited options with fish. We were with a group of 10 of which I was the only vegetarian, so the fact that they still have some non-veg dishes makes it ideal for mixed groups. Had the mixed mezze, Beirut salad and apple crumble for desert. All super good.

Awesome concept - Edit
Super cool concept and place. The food is good, but was cold when served while it was an oven dish. Very limited protein-rich meals for the fitness people. Very expensive.

Clean, hearty, vegan options - Edit
If you're looking for veg based food, this is a great option with salads, soup and hot options. I had the aubergine and courgette layered lasagne type bake, which was very filling though pricey mind you. The banana, vanilla, hazelnut cake was nice, not too sweet. My friend had the soup of the day which was vegan. I also did a take away of the quinoa and vegetable slice to eat later. Their croquettes were nice too. Cute seating area. In summary, if you want healthier vegan options, then definitely check this place out.

Good food albeit not cheap - Edit
The menu is all digital, there's a QR-code to scan at each table. This is more ecological than physical menus, especially if the menu changes often. However, comparing menu items is more difficult this way.
Read moreThe food is very good, very Mediterranean oriented (Moroccan, Italian, Greek, ...). The dishes are full of flavors and everything is cooked to perfection.
What bothers me is that they advertise "vegetarian" and "vegan" food on the window, but the menu clearly offers fish (salmon and cod).
Pros: Very good food
Cons: not cheap, serves fish, despite advertising

Very nice options! - Edit
We had a lovely table outside. The options were very nice. You can choose some dishes and they put them together. Lasagna, vegetables and all sorts of nice things. They also had a vegan carrot cake.

My go to for healthy take away in Antwerp - Edit
We were going for a day trip and stopped for some take away the day before. Unfortunately it could not be served in our own boxes or another waste-free option. The staff was very friendly because even after serving time they opened the food boxes again to give us some salads. We had a delicious quinoa salad and cauliflower dish.
Read morePros: Healthy and fast take away

Great food - Edit
This place has beautiful food... So many vegan options, all really refined and tasty. I feel like it was an audience that was a bit 'older', which made the atmosphere really quiet and 'classy'. So for a classy dinner, this is the place to go. Friendly service.

Good Food - Edit
There were enough vegan options and the garden was beautiful. It was also busy and they were a bit understaffed, so the waitress was a bit grumpy. Other than that it was lovely and I would go again.

Nice food in a nice setting - Edit
We’ve eaten here on many occasions. The food is always prepared with care and the menu has some vegan options as a standard. On sunny days you can have your meal in the lovely garden.

lots of vegan options - Edit
Happy to see so many vegan options on the menu! Unfortunately I had the wrong pick. The tandoori lasagna is a bit boring, not much tandoori taste. A bit of green salad on the side would have been nice. The older waiter wasn’t very friendly.
Read morePros: lots of vegan options, great food

Mixed feelings... - Edit
It's a "vegetarian" restaurant with fish on the menu... Not many/no vegan options on the menu. They however do organise vegan brunches and BBQ's and those are awesome! I highly recommend the vegan brunches and BBQ events, but wouldn't go there on any other occasion.
Read morePros: Vegan brunches and BBQ's are highly recommended
Cons: No vegan options on the usual menu

very disappointing - Edit
this was a visist in 2011 (update below)
Read moreThere are several vegetarian dishes on the menu (lots of quiches). I asked the waitress whether the soup of the day was vegan (I explicitely added, no cream, no cheese?), and she clearly didn't know what I was talking about. So I also inquired about the Thai stew with tofu. She replied, 'yes it's gluten free' :-/
It is an attractive venue, but with highly uncomforatble chairs (could hardly sit lunch out) and bad accoustics. It was freezing cold outside, and unfortunately also in the restaurant. Central heating wasn't working. They tried to heat the place with one or two seperate heaters, which was clearly not enough. It was cold!
I was very disappointed, as this place is supposedly famous for it's veg choices and nice venue, so I expected more knowledgeable staff and comfort.
As others have mentioned, steep prices for drinks, and overpriced food as well.
There's a big counter at the front, with many takeaway dishes. The list seemed to include a huge variety of vegetarian dishes. The waitress was also serving the counter, so I doubt whether she could have told me which dishes were vegan.
UPDATE: went again in Spring 2014. Another waiter, but no better knowledge of vegan. Bread served with butter. Very long wait for food. Piece of plastic in our meal. No intentions of ever visiting again.

Delicious food, friendly service - Edit
During a recent visit for dinner, my experience here was very different to that of other reviewers who experienced poor service and other issues: the service was excellent and very friendly, and the food was very well prepared and also delicious.
Read moreI had rice cakes with fresh string beans and a thick mushroom cream, and it was a delicious blend of flavors in an understated way. I would definitely repeat. Plus, there's also the options of buying vegetarian items to take away.
Pros: Food cooked with pride, Pleasant, cozy environment
Cons: Somewhat limited vegetarian selection

quite normal - Edit
We ordered 2 veggie and 1 vegan dish. I expected more 'haute cuisine' because this restaurant is very famous among vegetarians but it was quite normal. Not bad but the thai stew was a Thai curry, not very spicey and the tofu had a strange structure (as if was frozen before). If you aren't expecting very special dishes it's fine, if you do I wouldn't recommend this place.
Read morePros: nice place, kind people
Cons: not a very exciting menu, a little bit too normal food

Visited on Wed, 20th Jan and had a very high quality lunch. Main courses were excellent. Good sized portions. Decent desert. Price overall was 46 Euro for two people (two main courses, one desert, two teas, two glasses of wine). Would love to go back.

Disappointing food and overpriced - Edit
I'm willing to spend money on great meal. Happily. But dining at de Broers van Julienne wasn't worth the cost or the effort of traveling to Antwerp. I had the spring strudel (goat cheese, green asparagus, courgette, carrot, tomato, potato encased in phyllo, served in a mint-pea sauce). The veggies had been stewed into oblivion (e.g. the asparagus was stringy mush) but it was the sauce that was most inedible. My sister had the corn-pasta with sweet potato, red pepper, Mexi-flavoured tomato sauce, which was a little tastier than my strudel but also very mushy. My boyfriend said his fish lasagna with pumpkin, tomato and courgette was bland. I tend to give veg-friendly restaurants the benefit of the doubt - maybe they simply had an off day? Maybe I should've ordered the quiche? But once we got the bill and saw that we were charged 7 EUR for a 1 L bottle of still water, it killed any remaining desire to return. This type of ridiculous markup is tacky profiteering and disrespectful to restaurant patrons.
Read morePros: Pleasant back garden dining, Friendly server
Cons: Bland, mushy food, Price-gouging on water & wine

Stylish venue - Edit
After arriving in Antwerp on Easter Sunday, we had given up hope of eating anything remotely gormet... until we found De Broers van Julienne. Being vegan, we could not eat anything on the eat-in evening menu but in the deli section they had a aubergine, spinach and setian layered dish that was vegan. We bought it to take away and it came with herbed polenta wedges and a really flavoursome red pepper sauce. The really helpful staff booked us a taxi back to our apartment and we sat in the restaurant while waiting. The decor is really stylish with huge panelled shelving filled with organic wines. Our food was really good and at around 9 euros each, very reasonable.
Read moreUnfortunately none of their cakes and desserts are vegan, a shame as they looked amazing!
Pros: friendly staff, excellent cooking
Cons: not enough vegan options
