restaurant review #581 – New place in town with vegan options! In the city center, near Central Market.
It’s a new chain with locations in Ghent, Leuven and Brugge.
The main theme is mashed potatoes!!
There are two vegan options standardly available, or you can compose your own bowl.
Order at screen, go to your table where order is brought to you.
On my 1st visit I had the Busty Broccoli vegan, with mustard sauce. On my 2nd visit I had the cosy classic vegan, with brown sauce. Both come with a vegan boudin sausage. I chose the small portion, 12,95€.
They were OK, but would love to have more vegetables. I tried adding some extras to the signature bowl on my 2nd visit, but that’s not possible. So next time I will try to compose my own bowl, so I can have some more vegs.
Bit unhandy to eat mashed potatoes with a fork from a squarish bowl (guess I’m old skool ;-)).
All vegan options are clearly labelled on the online allergenes list (all the mixes of mashed potatoes are vegan btw!). And the ‘crunchy bacon mix’ is vegan too!
Cosy seatings, with cushions! Clean. Friendly.
Not accessible: step to get in – didn’t see an accessible toilet. Pity, the place seems completely renovated. Two toilets at the back, with individual towels to dry your hands. Love that!
