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).
restaurant review #409 – I have visited this vegan restaurant in Leuven a couple of times in the last years (previous REVIEW).
restaurant review #403 – This vegan restaurant in Leuven opened in 2022. It’s a 5 to 10 minute walk from the city center.
restaurant review #364 – Tabiloo is a vegan restaurant in the city center of Leuven. We were here a couple of months ago, in November 2022, for lunch.
restaurant review #345 – A couple of months ago, I went to vegetarian Palestinian restaurant Dar Za in Diestsestraat in Leuven for lunch. Nearly everything is vegan, except for some dishes with cheeze.
restaurant review #329 – Plant Dragon opened earlier this year and I have visited a couple of times! The bakery was previously located in Rotselaar, but now relocated to the city center of Leuven, near Ladeuzeplein and the university library, and is now also a coffeebar where you can enjoy drinks and cake and cookies!
Shop review #64 – Royal Donuts is a German chain of donut shops, and has several locations in Belgium. This is from a visit to the shop in Leuven a couple of months ago.
shop review#63 – De Broodenier is a vegan bakery in Leuven and opened in the Summer of 2020. Finally a vegan bakery in Belgium that offers and vegan pastry ánd vegan bread! There are already several traditional bakeries offering vegan options like Danish pastry (see Frimout in Ghent, Filip and Liraz in Kuurne) and many bakeries that offer cakes and pies (see Peas in Hasselt), but a traditional vegan bakery with bread and pastry is still a rarity in Belgium. De Broodenier is a run by brother and sister Michiel and Hilke. Hilke previously ran tea house T&Ko in Leuven, which I wrote about here.
restaurant review #288 – Hawaiian Poké Bowl is a chain of restaurants with about a dozen locations throughout Belgium. This is from a visit to Hawaiian Poké Bowl in Leuven a couple of weeks ago. At that time (and now still), restaurants were only allowed to offer take away.
restaurant review #276 – Het Strand (‘the beach’) is a vegetarian restaurant in the city center of Leuven (Louvain, near Brussels). We have already visited Het Strand in Leuven before (review here). We visited again in July 2020, this time not for dinner, but simply for an afternoon drink. Had a fresh juice, coffee, and the two available desserts: chocolate mousse with speculoos crumble (4,5€) and mokka chocolate pie (4€). Both were nice, although a bit heavy (would not be able to eat this immediately after having lunch or dinner, too much!).
