Good portions - Edit
I had the schnitzel and it was a very good portion for one person. The place itself has a cozy aesthetic. They also offer different snacks, candy, and chocolate (all vegan)

Really good food and everything is vegan - Edit
We had a delicious dinner here. To our disappointment, we heard that it was the place’s last day open.

Excellent vegan burger - Edit
This was my first time here. I had smash burger with fries. Patty was excellent and whole burger was one of the best ones I've ever had. Restaurant itself was not super cozy but staff was friendly. Overal 5 stars - a go to vegan restaurant in Brussels.

Very good with some critique - Edit
I loved the onion starter and the cheesecake here. The main dish - a schnitzel was a bit meh - fries and salad and sauce were good, but the schnitzel really didnt taste well itself. A schnitzel should be crispy and light not mushy and watery. Also a bit annoying - the staff was extremely slow with everything. It took forever to order and then another century to get the food. The place itself looks nice, really liked the setting.

Langsamer Service, dafür teuer - Edit
Das Schnitzel war lecker, aber für 21€ war das Gericht leider zu teuer. Es gab kaum Soße, fast keine Pilze und der Salat war kaum zu erkennen. Außerdem mussten wir über eine Stunde auf unser Essen warten und wir haben uns das Schnitzel geteilt.
Read moreDas Ambiente ist dafür sehr schön.

Great place with decent food! - Edit
Great variety of options for food and drink. Between us we had the savoury breakfast and avocado breakfast option, and then cheesecake and a cupcake. The cheesecake was the best vegan cheesecake any of us had ever had! Great variety of drinks too. There's also lots of vegan products for sale which is excellent way to top up on things like vegan choc and seitan. Definitely recommend.
Read moreThe food was great though not amazing. More seasoning would be good (a problem we had across Brussels!!).

Pros: Variety, Friendly staff, Vegan products/ shop too
Cons: Not enough seasoning

I'll be the judge - Edit
Just because you're vegan it doesn't mean you should be allowed to cook. This whole place is like something out of the worse end of the 2000s. I had the boulets sauce Liègeoise. I'm glad they're making Belgian food, but Liège is one of my favourite cities; despite the dearth of vegan restaurants there they do not deserve this disservice. The plate costs 18€ and comes with precisely one forkful of the dullest salad you've ever tried, a large proportion of saltless oven chips and the boulets themselves. The sauce is by a long way the best part. It's all downhill from there. The seitan is a little too tough albeit in a sticky sense rather than the usual rubberiness of the failed stuff. The chips are inexcusable. Chips are the easiest way to impress customers. Make them yourself, deep fry them and add salt as soon as they come out of the oil. It takes no time at all and people will love it. I won't comment further on the salad. I didn't dare to touch the cakes, which look even denser than the meatballs. I suggest closing the 'shop' portion of the business too, since it cheapens the atmosphere and is totally redundant now that supermarkets have realised that some people don't want to eat animals. There are several great restaurants in Brussels. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Great food. Fast service, real vegan place - Edit
Maybe getting a bot nostalgic, but this felt as 2018 vegan eating. Dishes you would never dream of eating vegan? They have it. The little shop is also giving kid in a candy store vibe. You can't leave empty handed! Great and friendly service. Restaurant was quite busy but i waited for my food 15 mins max, so not getting the other comments. Would return again!

The judgy vegan - Edit
Great place! Best meal ever! Loved it, all the food was delicious (drinks as well) There’s also a cute shop with lots of yummy treats for sale. Only reason this place didn’t get 5 stars is because the food took around 45 minutes to come.

Nothing is good - Edit
We've tried supporting veganism several times by going to Judgy Vegan. I think there are better ways to spend your money. Nothing is good. Everything is a bit dry, tasteless, uninteresting, and overpriced. One positive point: their interior is huge (and often empty of customers)! And they have a small shop where you can buy vegan chocolate and B12

Our favorite restaurant - Edit
We always love coming back to the Judgy Vegan. There’s a great selection of dishes and desserts. The homemade seitan is especially awesome. The atmosphere is very pleasant and cozy. The place is an absolute safe space.

nice place - Edit
the place is nice and the atmosphere is great.
Read morethe food was ok, but was lacking the little twist, that makes it more interesting.
the little "supermarket" is great to buy some more rare vegan products.
Pros: nice atmosphere, the little store
Cons: the dishes could need some twist

This is my go to place for full meals when I am in Bruxelles. I recommend the meatballs. You will need your phone to look at the menu (in French or English): there is free WiFi available.

Good restaurant - Edit
I ordered the "Boulets" and it was good even though quite simple.
Read moreMy partner had the mushroom burger (Burger Forestier) and she said it tasted great.
We both agreed that the fries were far from impressive, most likely frozen.
The wait between ordering and getting served was also very long. So much so that we hesitated to pay for our drinks and leave. The restaurant was not full either. It took between 30 and 45 minutes to get us out food and from what I could see, only 3 tables were served during that time.
Pros: Good food, Nice service
Cons: Very long

So much love to this place - Edit
I went there with my omni dad. He's very sceptical, always needs meat with every meal and so unfortunately, when we arrived here to an empty restaurant his mood didn't improve.
Read moreNonetheless, I loved the vibe inside. Suuuper cozy, amazing vegan products on display and nice interior.
We got:
Sesame Broccoli 6€
Basic, can't go wrong with broccoli
homemade mayonnaise 0,60€
Extremely delish!!
XXL Schnitzel 21€
Dad got that, I didn't properly ask for his opinion as I didn't want to hear bad comments, but he left a little which is unusual for him. In the other case - I LOVED IT! Such a tender seitan with a flavourful mushroom sauce. Maybe it can't convince an omni but as a vegan, GET THIS!!
Boulets sauce Liègeoise 17€
My main dish, and I loved. I'm not familiar with the belgian cuisine but apparently this is a traditional dish. The seitan balls were full of flavour and so was the sweet sauce with raisins. I asked if I could swap the fries with another side dish, maybe nuggets, but that wasn't possible. They were good tho!
Lavender Pear Cake Dessert 6€
Sadly I would not get this again. The cake was way too drenched in lavender and the fruit layer too sour. But I enjoyed the mascarpone!
2x Cookie 5€
From their little "shop" I got two RYTHM 108 cookies too :))
We waited around half an hour for our food which is very strange as we were the only customers, but at least it tasted very fresh and was hot. I'd go here again!!
EDIT:
Pineapple Sunshine 7,50€
Vegan Lobster Roll 9,50€
Trio of homemade Arancini 10,50€
Mousse chocolat 5,50€
Sticker 3,50€
I went there again, alone, and it was amazingggg. There were a few other tables but my food came so quickly.
The drink was sweet and refreshing!
The brioche was incredible... how is that vegan?? I still have no clue what the crab was but it was good.
The arinci were tasty, but the dip very boring :(
The mousse was *really* dark and rich, but harmonised perfectly with the sweet fluffy cream.
I love this restaurant.

Dat ben ik - Edit
Ik ben nu even de Judgy vegan. Ik beoordeel het 4 van de 5 sterren. De setting vond ik niet zo gezellig en we moesten behoorlijk lang op ons eten wachten. Verder was het eten wel heel erg lekker en we kochten nog veel leuke kaartjes en sleutelhangers in het winkeltje. Super leuk!

Very basic - Edit
No real taste, just basic stuff you can easily make at home. I had the seitan ribs and it was pretty rubbery. Friendly staff and cosy place, but the attention to the food is lacking
