#517 Loved it! Delicious food, enjoyable setting, Mallow, London (UK)

restaurant review #517 – We had visited the Fashion and Textile museum (awesome exhibition Fashion renegades of 80’s London!! – see video below) and ended up in nearby Borough Market. Mallow is a sister restaurant of the well-known Mildreds restaurants (see Reviews here).

#514 Gastronomic popup restaurant Roots, Bruges

restaurant review #514 – Gastronomic plantbased menu, with local ingredients! This was a pop-up restaurant, a project – from concept to execution – run by students of @viveshogeschool (last year BA Culinary arts).The menu was fully plantbased, and all ingredients locally sourced! Yeah!

#407 One of our favourites! Plantbased menu at Patrick Devos, Bruges (3)

restaurant review #407 – Been here a couple of times, and it’s always a delight, the decor, the comfort, the service and the food!

#380 Vegan fine dining in lovely decor, Patrick Devos, Brugge (2)

restaurant review #380 – We had a lovely lunch at Restaurant Patrick Devos in Brugge! 🌿🌿💚💚 Last time we visited was 10 yrs ago (!!) when we could get a vegan menu on request (see review here, it was one of the first on my blog #3). Now they have a full vegan menu standardly available! This is from a visit in February 2023.

#375 Plantbased fine dining. Delicious, but expensive, Amaranth, Merelbeke

restaurant review #375 – Amaranth is a plantbased fine dining restaurant in Merelbeke (close to Ghent). It is run by chef Pieter-Jan Lint and Carmen Duytschaever. We’ve previously already tasted Pieter-Jan Lint’s creations at a party at friends (see HERE) and had take away for Christmas (see HERE). Delicious! So we were very pleased with this new restaurant (opened in 2022).

#150 Lovely gastronomic dinner at Zarza, Louvain

Restaurant review #150 – Zarza is a gastronomic restaurant in the city center of Leuven. It is located on the Bondgenotenlaan, which is the long lane from the train station to the city hall. We had walked by here on numerous occassions, but had never noticed there was a restaurant there! I had seen Zarza mentionned as a suggestion in a vegan facebook group. Zarza has a vegetarian menu standardly available, which is veganised on request (when making the reservation). And so we did! We were warmly welcome and were asked whether we wanted the 4 course of 5 course menu. We went for the latter (I am not sure about the price anymore, but I believe it was 60€). This is what we were served (couldn’t take note of all the ingredients mentionned, but this gives you an idea 😉 fennel, pistache, gel of curry, dried shiitake avocado in two ways (mashed and grilled), radish, cucumber, kaffir lime quinoa, black radish, juice of celery some sort of sea vegetable, ‘meringue’ (made of seaweed powder) …

#122 Another fabulous dinner at Réliva, Bruges (5)

Restaurant review #122 – Restaurant Réliva is one of the few places in Bruges that standardly offers a vegan menu. It is not an all vegan restaurant, but since the start (2012) they have served vegan dishes. We’ve been here several times over the years, and it is always a delight to go dining here. Previous reviews of Réliva on The Bruges Vegan are here. (see updates below!) The interior has changed a bit over the years, and there’s also a large terrace in the back. We’ve never had the chance to dine on the terrace, as it was always cold or rainy when we visited. Definitely will try to visit on a nice Summer evening in the coming months, so we can enjoy the terrace! This review is from our last visit, a couple of weeks ago (Spring 2017). The vegan menu is still 35€ (starter, main dish and dessert). When ordering a la carte it is a bit more expensive (see prices listed, total of 43€ for 3 courses). For starters we had the …
