Brilliant for vegans who don't love gluten - Edit
Organic, vegan and gluten free. It's a buffet of hot and cold dishes. You pay by the weight of the plate. I usually go crazy and load my plate up and it costs around 12 eur. Sadly it's only open until 8pm, and only on weekdays. Food can be getting a little tired towards the end of the day but I love it for the variety. Especially the gluten free crackers, hummus variations, toasted almonds and bean dishes. They have vegan cake and kefir water too.

underwhelming - Edit
It was my first time in Brussels so I don't know if that's a Brussels thing but I was overall surprised by the lack of vegan places in the "capital of the EU" as well as prices.
I've been to a lot of vegan and raw places all over the globe and I found moonfood to be rather underwhelming. We paid 40€ for 2 plates and the food was bland. My girlfriend even had to throw up afterwards.
Not something I'd give a second shot.
Pros: location?, one of very few vegan options
Cons: bland, expensive

Great Lunch - Edit
I was a little bit skeptical about coming here - I've not always been impressed by 'plate by weight' places before, and I'm not really into raw food. I just want tasty veggie food. However, I had a great experience at Moonfood. My partner & I came for a late lunch, but there was still plenty of choice, we got to try some different things, it was hot, fresh and delicious. And the interior is just lovely - very stylish, and comfortable. I guess my only (small) complaint is that I found it a little pricey, especially the drinks and desserts. But I really did enjoy the food.
Pros: Delicious food, Lovely interior, plenty of room, Good choice
Cons: A little pricey

Very nice place - Edit
A pay-per-gram restaurant. They have a wide selection of cooked and raw dishes. The food itself is very tasty, and the soup is extraordinary. We went there twice and came out pleased both times. It's not cheap, but worth the price if you're into homemade dishes.

Everything great except the carrot cake - Edit
I went to Moonfood for lunch. I filled my dish with many delicious things from the buffet (11 euros for a dish full of stuff, it seems fair to me), and I got a carrot cake as well. The latter wasn't great, not very tasty, but the rest of the food was great! Would go again for sure.
Pros: Good quality food, Great choice, Fairly priced
Cons: Carrot cake not great

would certainly go again - Edit
I really loved how the place looked, the backgroundmusic was right and the people were soooo friendly!! the internet was down and i didn't had any cash to pay but this was no problem: i could eat first and bring the money later. When I arrived, there wasn't so much food left but when i left I saw they refilled it so that's really nice. There was still plenty of food to choose from. I really liked everything I ate. But i didn't take a desert because it was too pricy in my opinion. And also, i couldn't possibly eat anything for the next hour because i was so full.
Pros: self service, nice interior, good food
Cons: took a while before refill, wifi down, pricy deserts

Yummy but pricey - Edit
Get there early, as one day I went at 18:30 and they were sold out. Fairly pricely (about 20 euros for soup and a plate). Lots of choices, most were fairly yummy. Not the most amazing food, but still very good. The tiramisu was disappointing, I really didn't like it very much. But the soup was very good and almost everything else I enjoyed. Nice atmosphere and great location.
Pros: Lots of all vegan choices, Mostly very yummy, Desserts!
Cons: A bit pricey, Dessert was not yummy

timing - Edit
have been 3 times so far... not once was there any food woth mentioning. "they ran out" ... and for the little there was left, a few crackers, some salads left overs... they wouldn t give us a "deal". i do love raw food and i really wanted to eat there!! they have a raw tiramisu which is superdelicious and very expensive for its size... also when i thought i d go sit upstairs i found a room that was like a garbage place...a mountain of empty crates and cartons as if they hadn t bothered to take out their "paper" for months on end... mmm weird place. water should be free. thwy have this 10 times filtered water. right.
Pros: i imagine the good food. the tiramisu
Cons: expensive. no food left at 1 pm

Good but fat! - Edit
100% vegan , very good but very fat food , the price is a bit expensive but the decor and the atmosphere is very cozy , clean and environmentally friendly .
Nice but only for occasions because of the price and too fat food.
I found the staff as too dogmatic compared to the raw food or even pretentious limit, as I noticed that the seats were leather which does not really associated with the animal cause .
A little boho chic but gluten-free , raw and vegan :)

100% vegan, nourriture très bonne mais très grasse, le prix est un peu cher mais la décoration et l'ambiance est très cosy, écologique et épuré.
Sympa mais uniquement pour les occasions à cause du prix et des plats trop gras.
J'ai trouvé le personnel aussi trop dogmatique par rapport à la nourriture crue voir même limite prétencieux, aussi j'ai remarqué que les sièges étaient en cuir ce qui ne s'associe pas vraiment avec la cause animale.
Un peu bobo chic mais sans gluten, cru et végétalien :)

glad they are there - Edit
It's still hard to beleive Brussels now has a nice vegan buffet - and so centrally located.
The buffet is really nice (pay by weight - it can get pricey), especially the raw options that are sophisticated and tasty.
Two negative things I must mention:
-the staff can be be very unpleasant and dogmatic about "health food" (6 months ago they'd claim raw food was the only edible food... now they serve cooked things after all... well.)
-the interior is nice and cosy untill the awkward moment you notice the seats are leather
Pros: the food, the location, raw options
Cons: staff can be rude, leather seats

Tasty, healthy, relaxed - Edit
Moonfood offers a tasty and creative buffet, all vegan and gluten-free.
They serve cooked and raw dishes, so everyone can find something to satisfy their craving.
The restaurant is wide and bright, a great refuge for a quiet and lazy meal, even during rushed lunch breaks.

Excellent food and nice staff! Try it! - Edit
I have been there twice because I didn't have the time to prepare my vegan lunch. I must say from the few vegan friendly place I have tried in Brussels (close to my office) so far this one is the best. The food is excellent, nice buffet but also some nice take away if you are in a hurry. The responsible of the place took the time to explain me the concept and the details of each dishes. If you are raw vegan you'll definitely enjoy this!
Pros: Food Quality & Choice, Staff

marvellous - Edit
At last, a vegan restaurant in Brussels. I finally went here - as it is only open during the week ans is not near my work. It is a buffet where you pay by weight. The food is all vegan and gluten free and everything I tried was absolutely delicious. The decor is great too. And the staff are very knowledgeable and super friendly. They told me they ,Igor start opening at weekends; I do hope so as I'd go there every week. Definitely worth a visit.
Pros: delicious food, very friendly
Cons: none

Slightly pricy but so very welcome! - Edit
Have been twice now for lunch and will definitely continue to go back. The food is delicious! You can choose from a raw food buffet and warm dishes one. What you pay is determined by weight. For a decent plate (I've uploaded a pic) I paid about 12 euros. Not cheap but when compared to the other lunchtime places in the neighbourhood near the Arts loi metro station, it's good value - especially as it's the only good vegan option. Wish there were more places like this in Brussels!
