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

Published by

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…).

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 …
