Restaurant review#148 – Funky Jungle is a vegan restaurant in the center of Mechelen. It is located right at the foot of the St Rumbold’s cathedral.I had visited Funky Jungle in the Summer of 2016 (review here). Jim was in Mechelen a couple of weeks ago for a conference, and went here for lunch. Funky Jungle started as a vegetarian restaurant, but has gone completey vegan. The menu mentions that everything is plantbased.  The wines are vegan and organic. This was his lunch: pumpkin and ginger soup (5€) and chili sin carne with rice (11,95€). Dessert: a chocomousse (4,6€), made with aquafaba (the magical brine of chickpeas, also used to make vegan meringues!) . The food was nice, service was swift and friendly. All in all, good value for money! Great addition to Mechelen! Photos of the interior, the toilets and the terrace can be seen in our previous review of Funky Jungle.

The vegan options are clearly marked on menu, although there was some uncertainty about the burger buns being vegan or not (so we didn’t choose that). We shared a bowl of beet hummus as a starter (4,50€), it came with crackers and sourdough bread. The waitress wasn’t sure about the crackers being vegan, so we didn’t eat those (afterwards she did show us the ingredient list of the crackers, and they are vegan!). For drinks we had virgin mojitos (4,50€). The beet hummus was really nice (my photo failed miserably, I was trying to get the restaurant in the background in the photo, and as such lost focus on …
