Lots of tasty options - Edit
This was a walk away from the main sights but definitely worth it. Loads of options to choose from. We had the seasonal bowls and both were very filling and flavoursome.

You can either get one of their bowls or make your own, they also have starters and desserts. The food is tasty, fresh, the staff is very nice and helpful. Very lovely decor too. I do not recommend the pecan cookie, a little burnt

Un resto végane ouvert le soir! - Edit
J'ai passé trois jours à Bruxelles sans pouvoir matériellement me préparer à manger. C'était où bien une cuisine ou bien un lit. J'ai choisi le lit. Mais voilà à Bruxelles les belles propositions culinaires véganes ferment tôt et le soir c'est surtout de la junk food. Après une journée de marche, j'ai jeté mon dévolu sur un plat bien costaud: un Tibetan Mama un moelleux Omega 3. C'était très bon! Le quartier n'est pas le plus typique de Bruxelles, mais la déco du resto est très classe. Les deux employées adorables !
