#604 Great bowls, but not so cosy, Hawaiian Poke Bowl, Louvain-la-Neuve

restaurant review #604 – Hawaiian Poke bowl is a chain with several locations in Belgium & the Netherlands (two in Bruges). They have two custom vegan bowls, or you can compose your own. Falafel and tofu available.

This is my ‘go-to’ when I need a quick, wholesome lunch or dinner. I’m a fan of HPB and like to make my own bowl, with brown rice and tofu and vegs and toppings.
Good value for money. Order at touchscreen. Go wait at table. Swift service.

#602 Fabulous decor, nice lunch, but long wait, Vege-ta-ble, Wortegem-Petegem

restaurant review #602 – This restaurant is near Oudenaarde and the ‘Flemish Ardennes’, about an hour’s drive sout east of Bruges.

The decor is really fabulous: spacious, beautifully renovated monastery. It now houses a hotel, wellness (Ayuryoga) and restaurant (Veg-ta-ble). A really relaxed and comfortable setting.

#601 Many vegan options, Le Touquet, Oostende (2)

restaurant review #601 – This is one of the few restaurants in Oostende offering vegan options, and the location is right at the beach.
Our previous visit in 2016 was rather disappointing (serving non vegan sauce, forgot our order, ..) , so we waited a long time to visit again… Note: this time was better! 😉

#600 Fabulous! Three visits to Atelier Flori, Bruges (5)

restaurant review #600 – Another milestone on this blog 🙂 Restaurant review number 600! And I reserved this spot for one of our favourite places: Atelier Flori in Bruges!

Atelier Flori is one of only three vegan restaurants in Bruges. It’s open for dinner, and it’s advised to book well ahead, as it’s a very popular place. You can choose to have a 3 course dinner, or just select some tapas style dishes and have some drinks (they have a large wine selection).

#597 Lots of vegan options, restaurant Aal, Echternach, Lux

restaurant review #597 – Great to see so many vegan options on the menu, and clearly labelled! Especially in an area that is not particularly vegan friendly … but very beautiful (more photos of the Echternach region below).
