Vegans should bring veg-haters here - Edit
I literally loved it!! I had dinner here on Friday (Friday menu is awesome) and I was amazed by how the taste of vegan food can awake new tastes in your mouth. Everything was so we'll cooked. My first comment was: "I should bring here all the people telling me that vegan food has no taste and is boring".

Well-known Brussels veggie/vegan restaurant - Edit
Fixed price buffet with interesting and varied mostly seasonal dishes. Eat lightly before you eat here since there is so much to tempt you! A favourite haunt for environmental NGOs so not always easy to get a table.

Cool concept but uncool owner - Edit
The first time I came there with my family, everything went well. The food in general is tasty, sometimes pretty innovative. It's a bit pricey but since the atmosphere is really nice and the food is fresh (and vegan), etc, it feels okay to pay this price.
Read moreThe second time I went with my friends. We had booked a week beforehand, and we had a disappoiting experience. The table the owner had got us was not practical at all (one of us had to sit almost apart from the three others, and closer to the other table) although she had said 'i got you the cosiest table' probably because it was remote. Most of the food was tasty but cold. Finally, when we wanted to pay, the owner rounded the price up: "its 17,30€ so let's make it 18€ ok?" without really waiting for us to agree. Then when I paid she made an error and added 2€ to the balance.
Overall, mixed results. I might still go because the vegan options in Brussels are not endless of course.
Pros: almost entirely vegan, vegan desserts, buffet
Cons: Food is sometimes cold, a bit pricey, uncool staff - rounded the price UP?!

Healthy homemade food - Edit
There were quite some vegan options and the food was very tasty. Good variety of very healthy choices and good price if you fill up your plate all the way. Would advise to be there not too late or after 1pm as it gets full and open buffet starts finishing
Read morePros: Many vegan options, Healthy choices, Cozy interior
Cons: Can be on the more expensive side, If you are late, places and buffet is limited

Delicious food ! - Edit
Very delicious food & all-you-can-eat buffet. 19 euros for lunch with dessert & 23 for dinner (drinks not included). Some days there are only few vegan options and others most of the dishes are vegan. You can check the weekly menus in advance on their website so that's practical. The place is pretty & the staff friendly.

Cons: Not all vegan

depends on the day - Edit
Some days vegan options are amazing, sometime there is almost nothing... Pricing for lunch is very good, but if you fancy going there for a dinner it is just slightly too expensive for what it is....

Very good dinner - Edit
We enjoyed all of their food, although it was in buffet form, which I usually don't care for, it was very good and fresh. The all you can eat formula works well when you have big eaters in your group. So, all in all, this is a great find in Brussels, we shall return.

Busy! And very nice - Edit
This place has an all-you-can-eat buffet, which is rare for veg places.
Read moreThe food was quite nice and varied. Like others have said, not everything is vegan, but I think quite a bit is. That is based on my own observation though, I did not ask about it.
We were there on a Tuesday night and the place was very crowded. Still, I think there was plenty to eat for everybody.
Pros: Tasty, Many different dishes

Nice concept of restaurant. - Edit
It's a nice place, nice staff and good food.
Read moreIt is based on a self service, so you can really choose what you want to eat, in which quantity, which is great, attention, not everything is vegan.
Now when you ask the staff, they can very well guide you in that.
We had an overall good experience.
Pros: Good food, Nice location and staff
Cons: Limited proposition of vegan desserts

I love the idea of this place - Edit
I visit Brussels each winter. Dolma is warm, filled with wood and light. It serves comfort(ing) food). ...and yet, as many have observed, it isn't really vegan-friendly, or even particularly helpful in making good dietary choices. Still I go, and I enjoy. I'm glad it's here.

Great for vegetarians but not for vegans - Edit
This is one of my favorite veg restaurant in the world for the last 15 years.
Read moreI think their buffet is really great. They use a lot of organic food and it is varied, raw and cooked.
When I was eating cheese and eggs I really loved this place, but I find disappointing that they didn't adopt a vegan friendly attitude.
It would be relatively easy for them to mark the dishes that are vegans and those that are not, I just know that they don't pay attention to their use of butter, cream, milk and eggs in many dishes.
For this reason, I do not recommend this place to vegans but it is great for vegetarians.
On a side note, it's a pity that they replaced their tibetan decoration and identity for a completely neutral, modern atmosphere. I really loved the tibetan vibrations.
Pros: Great all-you-can-eat buffet, Organic food, Nice organic shop in front
Cons: Non vegan friendly, Loud room

High Quality Food and Beer in Ixelles - Edit
Much revered by the world’s herbivores – yes, this place is known around the globe – Dolma has been one of our favourite restaurants for around a decade. During a quick stopover in Brussels, we walked through the streets lined with art nouveaux buildings to visit this ethical foodery in Ixelles. Things have changed a little since our last visit. Already fragmenting, the co-operative that owned the shop and adjoining restaurant sold up in 2015. The new owner, however, was keen to maintain the bio ethics of the business and the restaurant’s high standards have been maintained. Partly refurbished, the interior of the restaurant has been spruced up and is smarter in appearance. One of the old co-operative has remained and was running the front-of-house. Always a congenial host, he has been here for 16 years and this continuity is much valued. In addition to expanding the bio beer range in the shop, Dolma has a few pleasant additions to the drinks menu, including the rather wonderful Goliath Blonde, a Wallonne beer produced from natural ingredients [no additives] which is deliciously fruity and hoppy, not dissimilar to the more well-known Tripel Karmeliet. The prices of the buffet seem to have increased and it is €19.50 per person for an evening meal or €24.50 if you take the optional dessert. The quality of the food offering remains fabulous and your tastebuds are bombarded with an array of delicious flavours throughout. If you wish to sample Dolma on a lower budget it is cheaper during the lunchtime session. Highly recommended.

Key veg' restaurant in Brussels - Edit
Known by all the vegetarians in Brussels, it's a must.
Read moreMenu changes everyday and I have never beeen desappointed. They always have salads, soups and warm dishes.Always nicely spiced and delicious. Price include one desert as well. It's quite expensive (22 euros for dinner) but it's worth it... especially if you can eat a lot.
It's one place I can take my non-vegetarians friends knowing they will like it, and even ask to go back!
Updated from previous review on Sunday January 06, 2013
Update 01/2016:
Owner has changed in 2015. the concept stays the same (all you can eat for 19,50 euros in the evening, 24,50 euros if you have a desert). Went there with 12 non-vegetarian friends, everybody loved it. Quality is still there, atmosphere is very warm.
