#454 Nice food, modern vibe, some starter hiccups, OhMa (2), Gent

restaurant review #454 – Vegan restaurant in Ghent!! 🌿🌿🍲🍲 Had been to the popup of Ohma in Bruges a couple of times before (some years ago – REVIEW), and love that they focus on veganising traditional dishes. 💚💚

#453 Vegan burger, Fastfood burger place, The Potato Bar, Bruges

restaurant review #453 – First time visit to this place! 🍔 Not really a fan of these type of burger places, but if you like burgers, then this is your place! I went here for lunch. More because the other place I wanted to go to was full 😉, and I want to try as many places in Bruges as possible, being the Happy Cow ambassador and for my blog. Let’s call this ‘research’ 😄. Two vegan burgers on menu, and also vegan cheeze croquette. Great that they have vegan options, and clearly labelled on the menu! 👍The regular fries are not vegan – fried in beef fat (as is often the case in Belgian restaurants unfortunately…). The sweet potato fries are. 🍟 I had the ‘Belgian vegan deal’ = a burger with sweet potato fries and a drink 22,50€. Expensive for a fastfood place! The burger was OK, a sort of red beet burger. Didn’t like the bun though. Sweet potato fries and veganaise OK. Friendly service. Didn’t have to wait long.A bit crowded …

#452 One of the best Indonesian rice tables ever! Keraton Damai, The Hague (NL)

restaurant review #452 – This was awesome!! 🤩👏🏼 We love Indonesian food 💚, and whenever we are in the Netherlands, we try to go to an Indonesian restaurant for a ricetable.

#451 Fresh and colourful take away, Hawaiian Poke Bowl, Leuven centrum

restaurant review #451 – I love going to one of the many Hawaiian Poke Bowl restaurants in Belgium. Ive been to several locations of Hawaiian Poke bowl (the other one in Leuven, and in Kortrijk, Brugge, Gent, Oostende, Brussels).

#450 Vegan fastfood place, Tastebuds, Antwerp

restaurant review #450 – Vegan fastfood place!! On our way back from Utrecht #thepurplejam 💜 (which was A.W.E.S.O.M.E.! – see video), we were looking for a place were we could get a quick bite!

#449 Lovely Quesadilla, one vegan option, NOMAD, Brugge (2)

restaurant review #449 – I had visited NOMAD in 2017 (see REVIEW), but they had no vegan options standardly available on the menu back then. We did get a vegan lunch, by adapting dishes, which didn’t really impress much, and there were sheepskin on the terrace seatings (seem to be gone now). And inside was very loud! So hadn’t visited again since. Fastforward to April 2024. There’s now one vegan lunch dish. The avocado toast can also be veganised (leave out egg). And a vegan dessert (chocolate cake and coconut ice). Progress! So I had the Quesadilla ‘The Mexican’ (21€). It comes with guacamole, a salad on the side, and sour cream (from Violife).Nice dish, spicy, very filling (large portion!). Nicely presented. Didn’t have to wait long. Seatings are combination of regular chairs/tables and high barchairs/tables. Toilets at the back, clean, didn’t see an accessible toilet.Can be loud when full. Service was swift. But reserved … With some places in Bruges I get the impression staff don’t really put in that much effort to be …

#448 Nice Vegan vol-au-vent, Eethuis de Stadstuin, Izegem

restaurant review #448 – First time visit! This place is in between Kortrijk and Bruges. Not so many vegan options in this area …

#447 Nice lunch, not so cosy, Ohana Pokebowls, Roeselare

restaurant review #447 – I love these type of poke bowl places, and great to see them pop up everywhere. We have already been to the sister restaurant of Ohana Poke Bowls in Oostende (REVIEW), and so decided to try this new one in Roeselare (opened in 2023 I think)! When we arrived just after noon there were still some tables, but later the place filled and there was a queue at the counter.Compose your own bowl by filling out the paper form available at the counter. Tofu available as vegan protein option.

#446 Nice Asian cuisine lunch at Bowls, Brugge

restaurant review #446 – Discovered a new place in Brugge! 💚🎉🎉

#445 Nice take away Immergrün, Oberhausen (Ger)

restaurant review #445 – 10 years ago this would have been impossible! Even 5 years ago it would have been a lucky shot! Now, we easily found vegan take away before going to a concert!
