Good place for mixed company - Edit
As a vegan, this is the best place in the city to go with a omnivore group. They won't complain about "weird vegan food" and you'll have an awesome vegan meal.
Read moreThere's a good choice of vegan options on the menu, also labeled vegan. I have not been disappointed with the options I've ordered here. The portions are also pretty big. Recently they also added some vegan dessert options to the menu. The aquafaba chocolate mousse is delicious.
Pros: Big portions, helpfull staff
Cons: More expensive but also fancier place

It's gotten worse - Edit
Went here a few times but the last few times it has been terrible. No foods compliment eachother and it feels like the chefs haven't even tried the food once. My partner got a tiny expensive burger, and I got the cauliflower steak which was bland, with a random portion of extremely bland side of....spaghetti??? Its very random!!! Don't be fooled by the reviews, they don't even try for us vegans anymore.

Extremely disappointed - Edit
Was excited about a fine restaurant that catered to vegans. But this was an example of non-vegans assuming they are catering to vegans just by steaming some vegetables. Ordered Thai coconut curry with roasted hazelnut and wild basmati rice. It was a large bowl of either boiled or steamed vegetables in coconut milk. Didn’t see any hazelnuts and there were no spices used, none, no curry, no flavor, not even salt. I had to ask for the rice which they came with 10 minutes later with no apologies. And by the way, I think there were only 3 vegan options on the menu, not all the ones they show in their website.

Traditional dishes veganized - Edit
The menu is very clear, with separate sections for vegetarian and vegan. They can customize the dishes when you ask for it.
Read moreI had the no-chicken stroganoff with sweet potato fries, which was a tasty dinner.

Cons: Noisy

Good food, nice garden - Edit
We were very happy to find this restaurant in the city center with such a nice garden. The food was good and the portions large. Very suitable for a mixed company as they also serve meat.

Not enough vegan knowledge - Edit
Plates were big but they gave us normal mayonaise while we only ordered vegan food, and did not apologize for that, it was our fault to not have been clear we wanted veganaise with our vegan plate, as they said...

Lots of vegan options - Edit
Staff and chef really know very well what vegan means and do their best to offer several tasty vegan dishes and sweets!
Read moreWhen they serve you bread and butter at the table, simply mention you’re vegan and they’ll bring you olive oil and some salt and pepper for the bread instead of the butter.
Their sushi bowl, ‘Bordje uit de oven’ which is baked veggies are very nice.
I reaaaallllyyyy loveee their vegan amarena ice cream with chocolate sauce! Yum!
A bit more chic so nice when you want a little more fancy dinner for a date night.
Or perfect when your family does not want to eat vegan bc they offer something for everyone.

Great place, many vegan options - Edit
The menu offers a large choice of vegetarian and vegan dishes (starters, mains, desserts and even wines), which are clearly labeled.
Read moreI really enjoyed the food. Large portions.
Staff is friendly and thoughtful. I immediately received olive oil with the bread instead of butter (I mentioned I was vegan when making the reservation).
A little bit pricey, but it is also probably due to the location.

Wat een plezier om dit restaurant te herontdekken - Edit
Een klassieker in Leuven die helemaal mee is met z'n tijd. Verschillende heerlijke vegan gerechten in rijkelijke porties. Als er vleeseters in het gezelschap zijn, komen ook zij uitgebreid aan hun trekken. Prachtig kader ook en vriendelijke, vlotte bediening. Top!!

Goed eten maar te duur - Edit
Het eten was prima maar echt veel te prijzig voor wat je krijgt. Ook zeer rumoerig en matige service wat je wel verwacht als je prijzen hanteert van 20 euro voor een curry.

Cons: Duur, Weinig ambiance, Matige service

Highly recommended place for a nice and cosy evening - Edit
[EN] At the reservation, we left a little note saying we wanted to eat vegan. This was not ignored. Before we even said anything, we were told the bread was vegan, olive oil on the side. This is literally the first time we didn’t have to send back the butter in a not all-vegan restaurant.
Read moreVery nice to be able to dine in a very pleasant setting and be treated as ‘normal’ customers, not having to beg for a vegan option. Here, vegan options are on the menu. And there’s more than one! It’s quite rare not feeling like having to question things on our plates.
If I had to give a small point of criticism, I’d say my husband’s plate (grilled butternut) could have used a bit more colour, but that’s really just nitpicking.
In it’s category, a highly recommended place for a nice and cosy evening!
(Would have rated it 5 stars, but HappyCow reserves that for fully vegan places.)
[NL]We hadden in het commentaarveldje bij de reservering aangegeven dat we vegan wilden eten. Daar werd ook al gelijk bij het binnenkomen naar gehandeld. Geen boter, maar olijfolie bij het brood. Echt de eerste keer dat we in een niet-exclusief vegan restaurant de boter niet moesten terugsturen.
Heel erg fijn om in een aangenaam kader als 'normale' klanten bediend te worden en niet te moeten bedelen om een vegan optie. Hier staan de opties gewoon mee op de kaart. En het zijn er meer dan één! Het gebeurt maar zelden dat we niet het gevoel hebben ons vragen te moeten stellen bij de inhoud van ons bord.
Als ik een opmerking zou moeten maken, dan misschien dat het bord van mijn echtgenoot iets meer kleur had kunnen verdragen (gegrilde butternut), maar dan ben ik echt aan ’t muggenziften.
In zijn categorie, een zeer aan te bevelen plek voor een gezellige avond uit!
(Zou 5 sterren gegeven hebben, maar HappyCow reserveert die voor volledig vegan restaurants.)
Pros: Several vegan options, even starters and deserts, Didn't feel like the odd one out, Nice and cosy

#Meatoo - Edit
Vegan schotels zijn van de lekkerste - nonfastfood - variant in Leuven, je wordt er als vegan ook niet als een noodzakelijk kwaad behandeld. Kreeg evenwel geen vijf sterren over mijn hart vanwege nog groot aanbod aan vlees en vis.

Love it - Edit
Place offers you multiple vegan main courses and desserts. They change their options from time to time though, so it's always a suprise what will be on the menu. There's also a vegan red wine you can choose. The service is kind and pretty quick but be prepared to pay a little bit more than in an other vegan restaurant. Would recommend this place though to other vegans! Love their chocomousse ;)

Wonderful place for a nice dinner with non vegans - Edit
Has a pretty wide offer of vegan dishes. This place is great if you want to have a good (fancy) dinner with other people who do not want vegan food. Original creations, traditional and fusion, with eye for detail and presentation.

Very good - Edit
I have been here twice and on both occasions I had very good experiences. The variety of vegan plates is quite notable, considering it is not a vegan restaurant. The things I have tried were delicious and massive portions were a surprise. I didn't have space for the chocolate mousse at the end!

Super! - Edit

Worth the money - Edit
We had the pre-set vegan menu for 37€ per person and it was simply amazing. The taste combinations were creative as were the presentations. A perfect place to go for "upscale" vegan dining.

Big portions! Vegan options standardly available - Edit
We've been to Mykene a couple of times over the years.
Read moreIt's a traditional restaurant, a big place, but with plenty of room.
Vegan options standardly available and clearly indicated on menu.
Dishes are really big portions and I could hardly finish even my appetizer. Some traditional dishes, but also some original combinations and out of the box dishes.
Nice to have vegan desserts available.
Menu changes every now and then, so always new things to try.
It is not a vegan place, so the smell and sight of people eating animal's ribs next to you can be confrontational ...

Traditional restaurant with different vegan (and raw) dishes on the menu - Edit
I would describe Mykene as the closest possible to a traditional nice restaurant. Well, in fact, it's a traditional restaurant with all kinds of non-vegan choices! Now they also do have different vegan dishes on the menu and have even a dedicated raw vegan menu.
Read moreTheir concept looks really like providing a platform, where everybody can meet and enjoy their own choices and preferences, in which they succeed very well.
The waiters, especially the more skilled ones are very attentive ones when they know you are vegan, they will very carefully explain what they bring you and also provide some nice inside on how it is prepared.
They have several vegan and raw dishes, as starter, main and dessert.
What is nice it that the menu regularly changes as well, and their chefs don't hesitate to learn about the subject and try to come out regularly with new dishes, which is great.
As a vegan it might be annoying to see still the animal torture around you.
Now for a dinner with colleagues or friends, not at all into vegan, it might be a neutral invite and having them giving it a try.
Nice place for dinner where you can invite everyone with you, since you'll find any kind of food style.
Pros: Traditional restaurant, Vegan and raw vegan menu, Attentive waiter
Cons: Can be expensive, Still animal torture around you

OK restaurant, conveniently big menu for Leuven - Edit
Mykene has a lot of options, which is nice. Sometimes it takes a long time before you get served, though, and it is quite expensive. As for the menu, I really like the vegan sushi burger. My husband (a vegetarian) also likes the 'bordje uit de oven' (oven dish). On the other hand, the vegan fish is really quite boring, we wouldn't take that one again. Overall, the restaurant is quite nice, especially if you're having dinner with colleagues, friends or family who want to eat meat, because the menu is so big. There's also a nice terrace at the back.
Read morePros: Many vegan and vegetarian options, Nice terrace
