Exki - Place De Brouckere

Exki used to be terrible for vegans but nowadays its getting much better. It is still more a green-ish fast food than a restaurant, though. This one is really crowded on lunch time.

If you read the ingredients clearly there is even sugar in the salad. There is almost nothing for vegans. I think the concept is beautiful, but healthy food is misused to ask too much money for a small dish.

I used to eat there quite frequently before going vegan. It is a great place to grab a coffee and a snack or a piece of cake ( for non veg), there are few options for vegetarian and i've only come across one dish for vegans which was the tofu-carrot salad and also fruits but nothing else really a part from the drinks.
For a parent dependent person it is quite pricy considering that nearby you can get vegan fries ( either Mcdonalds or quick) for cheap. But Ekxi is better if you care about your health/weight.
The staff does change but they all are friendly.
One thing that does annoy me is that you have to pay extra if you want to eat inside.

This is a large café/bio-store, which is self service and has microwaves so customers can heat up wraps etc. But whilst the bright, comfortable, large seating area is welcoming, and the staff are friendly, the focus is on organic and sustainably-sourced ingredients, not on vegetarian or veganism. All vegetarian items are marked bz a green square, and luckily all products have a list of ingredients in French, Flemish and English, so that vegans and those with allergies can check what they can eat. During my visit, which was at 10 in the morning, I found nothing vegan except a few overpriced small pre-packaged salads and some dark chocolate bars – perhaps lunchtime is better because the other Exki in Brussels has at least one vegan main option. Vegetarians can choose from salads, wraps and a large selection of cakes and pastries. Oh and one sneaky tip – wifi is free for 30 minutes, but you can just disconnect and reconnect if you want to stay longer.
