restaurant review #363 – Vegan in Oostende! At the Belgian coast 🌊🌊 Oostende is the place where I grew up!


There are unfortunately still not that many places with vegan options, but it’s gradually improving! So last year I was very happy to learn that Hawaiian Poke Bowl now also has a restaurant in Oostende. 💚🤗
I’ve visited several locations of this chain, in Louvain, Gent, Kortrijk, Bruges and now also in Oostende. It is in the city center, on the main square: Wapenplein.




The food is great, healthy, fresh and more than enough. And cheap! You can choose from two vegan bowls, or compose your own, and there’s tofu available. 🥕🌽🥑🍎🥦
This is from a visit a couple of months ago, in the Fall of 2022. It was really crowded and loud inside though (and loud music). So we choose to sit outside. Very uncomfy chairs, and terrace needed some cleaning.



Interior is accessible – there’s a small ramp to get in. Toilets downstairs (forgot to take a pic), didn’t see an accessible toilet. (toilet access was with a code – probably to prevent passers by from using the toilets).
Have also had take away, and service was swift!
