To avoid ! Label vegetarian not correct

Be aware that this chain is putting the label 'Vege' on food that contains animal rennet. When I pointed out that this is absolutely not done, they replied that not everyone takes it so strictly. This is of course not the point, you can not put misleading labels on your food simply because not everyone takes his/her diet as strict. It's like putting pork in your food and labeling it 'halal' because not every muslim is strict in that!

Cons: misleading labels !

It's okay

Salads and sandwiches are premade and packed for takeaway. I chose a sandwich and ordered a coffee. When you eat in, you receive a ceramic cup instead of a disposable one. Eating in is more expensive than takeaway.

EXKI

They have some vegan options, but they’re quite expensive and not that mind blowing foodwise.

Cons: Expensive

Nice snack food

I had a quinoa salad which was tasty. Carrot soup was fresh but quite bland. Interesting beverage options, I had a kombucha drink. Only plastic or other un-reusable plates, cutlery etc. even if you eat in. I recommend Exki if you need food to go.

Cons: Creates a lot of waste, Didn’t find any vegan sweets

Vegan options when in a hurry!

Exki is conveniently located 5 minutes from the Central Station, so if you don't have time to go to town, it can be very handy. I usually drop by when I have a train to catch.

They have many vegan options (correctly labeled as such - search for the Vegan mark), which are not always the same, but include soup, sandwiches, and bowls. There are also juices and other drinks.
I recently had the falafel bowl (Casablanca) and it was tasty; but I've tried other dishes before which were just ok.
Everything is available for take-out.

Prices are fair (eat-in prices are a bit more expensive), and portions are also correct (at least for me).

Lifesaver

This place is a lifesaver if you're short on time since everything is already prepared and can be eaten quickly or for takeaway. Everything is properly labeled when veg or vegan. There's several options for vegans like salads, sandwiches, quiche, pastry and other stuff.
It's a franchise, but this location is cheaper than the ones in France.

Healthy Choice

They have a simple choice of four different soups, lots of delicious salads, yummy sandwiches, quiche, focaccia, pizza, and the best cakes ever!
Located in a nice corner close to the Central Station, bus stop, and pedestrian street, Exki is a cosy place always busy from breakfast to dinner (closes at 20.00 p,m.). The ingredients list (mostly organic and vegetarian) is their best bet.

Se puede elegir entre cuatro sopas diferentes, un montón de deliciosas ensaladas, deliciosos sándwiches, quiche, focaccia, pizza, y los mejores pasteles de la historia!
Situado en un bonito rincón cerca de la estación central, parada de autobús, y de la calle peatonal, Exki es un lugar acogedor siempre lleno desde el desayuno hasta la cena (cierra a 20,00 p, m.). La lista de ingredientes (en su mayoría eoclógicos y vegetarianos) es su mejor apuesta.

They are a great place to go for takeaways with or without meat. My vegetable couscous was full of flavour and more vegetable than couscous. Their chocolate cake is so yummy I'm surprised there is any left in the shop and there certainly won't be when I next visit Antwerp.
Centrally located near the station and easy to find.
