This list contains restaurants in Bruges and the suburbs.
I list restaurants with vegan options (or vegan upon request), and at the bottom there’s a list of restaurants that explicitly state not to serve a vegan menu or that don’t reply to my inquiries.
I started this list/blog in 2013. There were hardly any places with vegan options in Bruges at that time. Luckily, things have evolved for the better, although Bruges is certainly not as vegan friendly as Berlin, Paris or London!
Some points to take into account:
- In my inquiries to know whether a certain restaurant will serve vegans, I explicitly state what vegans do and don’t eat, most often via e-mail. I ask whether it’s possible to have a vegan menu. I mostly repeat the info when making the reservation and when visiting the restaurant.
- I prefer to contact the restaurants by e-mail / the contact form on their website / social media , as a telephone call is often too disturbing, or can more easily lead to casual or incorrect information (depending on who’s answering).
- Listed prices give you an indication, but if you want to be sure, check their website. Prices have evolved a lot the last couple of years.
- The restaurants are listed in alfabetical order. If I have written a blog about it, with a more elaborate review of our visit(s), you will find the review-link next to it.
- Overview of restaurant REVIEWS from PLACES IN BRUGES: click here
- I try to keep the list updated as much as possible, and rely on information given by the restaurants themselves and personal visits. But of course things change over time (restaurants closed, no longer serving vegan, openings hours, etc). If you want to be absolutely sure, please check with the place itself in advance.
- This is just a labour of love. I am not an organisation, I don’t get paid, or get any other personal gains from doing this. I don’t consider myself an ‘influencer’ (in the modern day interpretation of the word) and all reviews are my own personal opinion.
- This list is not exhaustive. If you know of any other places, or remarks about the info, please let me know!

Bohemian Burgers, Sint-Amandsstraat 22, Brugge, location Burger bar, chain. Formerly Paul’s Boutique. Two vegan burgers.

Cezar, Jeruzalemstraat 1, 8000 Brugge, 050/70 97 84, location Traditional gastronomic resto. Can serve vegan (so handy to know if e.g. your family takes you there), but doesn’t sound culinairy exciting.

RESTAURANTS IN BRUGES: NO VEGAN MENU or UNCLEAR or NOT REPLYING
We appreciate restaurants taking the time to reply, even if they answer they can’t provide a vegan menu (because it’s not their specialty, because they don’t know how, because it requires too much reorganisation, etc.). Rather they are honest about it, than ending up being served some salad and tomatoes (or even worse, a non-vegan dish!).
It’s a pity some restaurants don’t reply at all.
I prefer to contact the restaurants by e-mail / the contact form on their website / social media , as a telephone call is often too disturbing, or can more easily lead to casual or incorrect information (depending on who’s answering).

Je m’en fous then posted THIS message on their FB to criticise my post… With confirmation that they fry them in mixed animal fat & are not vegan. But of course vegans are the bad guys in this story for pointing this out. Sigh … |

Kok au Vin: No. A lot of our dishes contain homemade bouillon and about everything of what you name (e-mail 2015/12). Switched name to Locàle 2024. Note on website: ‘we only take life threatening allergies into account like nuts and shellfish‘. So I guess that’s a no for vegan. |
| Lokkedize | Bistro. no reply to our mails (2016/09 and 2016/12), although reportedly vegan is possible (falafel – see comment of Caz in comment section). Mailed again 2025/03 & 2025/09: ‘we have no vegan options‘. |

I inquired again, but got no reply anymore (mail 2015/12). Mailed again (Chef Sam) 2025/03 ‘Unfortunately, our buffet has a limited number of vegan options. … Our focus is on a broader range of dishes‘. Really vague … |

Waw ik ben hier echt blij mee. Mijn gezin gaat vaak op restaurant. Grote hulp! Many thanks.
Vegan wok en volkoren pasta in Stoepa
Thank you so much for doing all this research and putting it online! My husband and I are vegans from the USA on a bicycle tour across Europe. We are in Bruges right now, doing our best to find restaurants that have vegan options. Your information is so helpful and I am glad you are letting these restaurants know that people are interested in vegan menu items. Thanks again!
We are visiting from Canada – are there any vegetarian/ vegan restaurants around Oostkamp?
Hello, I’m sorry but I don’t know of any such places. I don’t think there are any in Oostkamp, as I keep a good eye on all thing vegan popping up in the area.
There is even only one vegetarian restaurant in Bruges!
Enjoy your journey!
I can’t even begin to explain how helpful this post is. I’ve recently transitioned to the vegan lifestyle which has greatly impacted on the time me and my partner spend going out together. We used to love going for dinner and are massive foodies, but it’s quite difficult to find places that cater for vegans in Doncaster (or anywhere in the North of England, really). I’ve booked us a surprise trip to Bruges for my partner’s Christmas present and have been intent on researching some great places to eat that can cater for us both. Your blog has covered that for me and more, thank you so much.
Thanks for your comment Ciretta. It’s always nice to get feedback from people who have stumbled upon our blog and find the info useful! 🙂
Good luck on your vegan journey, and enjoy your holiday in Bruges. If you would find any new (vegan friendly) places, pls let me know!
And feel free to leave a comment whether you agree or disagree with our reviews of certain places.
great!! If you swing by Brussels and look for vegan or vegan friendly places, link below! Belgium is moving forward!! https://ledvdotbe.wordpress.com/2015/12/13/vegan-in-brussels/
brilliant list.
Tried to go to Jillies for the vegan burger and vegan fries. Terrible service. We waited 20 minutes after being told we could take any table. A lot of tables were open. After 20 minutes my husband went and very politely just let the waitress know which table we had gone to. (We hadn’t even been given menus or been able to order drinks). The waitress got angry that he said something. We left. Also, there is a mounted dead young moose on the main dining room wall. So even though the have a vegan burger (on a non-vegan bun) you have to look at a murdered baby animal while you eat). Zero starts is what’ I’ve give this place.
Wow, that indeed sounds terrible. We haven’t been at Jilles yet, but are not so eager to go there, hearing your experience. Thanks for your feedback Nicole!
Tried the DutchWeedBurger at Novotel. Nobody knew if the fries were fried in vegetable oil or in dead cow fat. So we couldn’t order fries or onion rings. It was ok. But it’s not something I feel like I’d have to go get a second time. Also the place is so family friendly that during dinner time (about 8pm) there were some parents actually knocking on the dining room window to get the attention of their child, so that wasn’t super fabulous… unless you just want a family room style dining experience.
We have also tried TDW at Novotel, our experiences are here.
https://brugesvegan.com/2016/04/15/novotel-bruges/
At this visit, they affirmed us the fries were baked in vegetable oil, although seeing salmon listed on the menu card as ‘vegetarian’, didn’t give us a reassuring feeling.
Similar experiences about the atmosphere at Novotel. The restaurant/bar is a spacious place, but all patrons were asked to sit on the same side, making it very crowdy and noisy.
Pity! I hope you will have or have had better dining out experiences while in Bruges!
Thanks for your comments 🙂
Thanks for sharing! We often go to Lokkedize on Korte Vulderstraat for their tasty falafel pitas and mixed salad. The sauce is not vegan but we take our own soya cuisine and they mix up some yummy samurai-esque or garlic sauce for us. The salads are tasty… Often greens, grated carrot, sweetcorn and sometimes watermelon. Super friendly staff too who are happy to help. Maybe ring in advance to tell them you are coming because sometimes they run out of falafel!
Thanks Caz for your feedback! I’ll look into it 🙂
Worth checking out: http://detwijfelaar.be/menu/hoofdgerechten.html We had the veg wok and loved it. Great service and large portion of delish food 🙂
Thanks Tash! added to the list 🙂
it’s no coincidence: many places unwilling to adapt to clients vegan wishes have already closed their business
Hello! I have just been looking at your blog as I am coming to Bruges in December 🙂 Your list of restaurants are great, but I wondered if you could tell me what are your favourite top 5 restaurants? and perhaps if you could recommend one in particular for my birthday dinner? (somewhere I can get dressed up nice). Any suggestions most welcome! Thank you, Helen
Hello Helen. There are several more gastronomic restaurants (more fancy) that are willing to make a vegan menu on request (they are in the list above).
We like going to Réliva (more restaurant) and Hashtag Food (more bistro). Both have standard vegan options available.
Patrick De Vos is also more fancy, but it’s been a while since we’ve been there.
Enjoy your stay in Bruges!
Would love to know where you went then, and pls give us some feedback on the blog 🙂
LiOLait
Vegan on request.
Thanks to Trudi from ‘The Bruges Vegan’ to guide us towards this place, otherwise we would most likely have skipped Bruges for lunch, since there is really not a lot of vegan choices unfortunately.
LiOLait is right in the city centre of Bruges, since we were by car, we parked it in ‘Parking Zilverpand’, which mentioned ‘full’ now we still managed to get in and found a spot.
It’s a nice looking place inside and outside, as well as friendly staff who speak Dutch and English (also the card is available in both languages).
On the card they indicate can be made ‘veggie’, now it is not very clear what that means and I would recommend to talk with the staff.
The owner we talked to knew very well what vegan was, and assured us that everything we took was made vegan for us.
They look like being quite specialized in ‘Bagels’, some kind of bread, sandwich, donut mix and which is vegan in all cases.
Unknown to us, we decided to take the bagels vegan tapas, which was quite nice and a quite nice mix for lunch.
While we were eating, the owner also came to see us, saying afterwards that if we would like some dessert, that they had just prepared some fresh new vegan cookies, which we of course decided to try out as well.
Overall, we had a nice experience, it is just unfortunate that we had to know about this proposal from other visitors and that on their own they do not set any further effort in this.
A majority of vegans will pass this place since there is no indication of what they can do.
I left an ‘I love veggies’ sticker in the hope it will ring a bell.
Pros: Nice place for vegan lunch, Friendly staff
Cons: Should set more effort on communication around vegan options
Thanks fo your review on LiOLait Steven. Sounds good, although yes, I agree they could put in more effort to communicate about vegan options. We hope to go visit this place in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks for putting this list together!
you’re welcome 🙂
Wow. Would love to try some of those!
You will have to come to Bruges one day 😉 🙂
Onlangs bij Petite Aneth geweest, ze serveren enkel nog menu’s maar die wordt op vraag volledig veganistisch gemaakt! Wij hadden het op voorhand doorgegeven voor de zekerheid. Zeer lekker en uitstekend geprijsd 🙂
Bedankt voor de tip! 👍Ik zal het aanpassen 😊
Wow. This is such a labour of love and has been very useful to us in our visit to Brugge
Thank you very much Vicky. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I hope you had a lovely stay in Bruges!
🙏🙏🙏 suggestion ONSLOW
Bedankt! Die kende ik nog niet. Heb het toegevoegd aan de lijst en de map 🙂
Thank you so much for this! Travelling to Bruges this spring with my friend who is vegan and this map will be our food-Bible 🙂
Have fun, If you want more tips, feel free to ask 🙂
