#589 Finally a Hawaiian Poke Bowl at the Bijlmer, Amsterdam (NL)

restaurant review #589 – This is my ‘go-to’ when I need a quick, wholesome lunch or dinner. Hawaiian Poke bowl is a chain with several locations in Belgium & the Netherlands (two in Bruges). They have two custom vegan bowls, or you can compose your own. Falafel and tofu available.

#586 Pizza Ok, but not very welcoming, Trevi’s, Amsterdam (NL)

restaurant review #586 – Italian vegan restaurant! In Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We were here on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch (around 2.30 pm) as this place is listed as being open all afternoon. There was one person nearly finished with lunch.

#582 Nice lunch, relaxed vibe, Happy Food and Health, Rotterdam (NL)

restaurant review #582 – Another vegan restaurant! In Rotterdam, the Netherlands. We stopped here for lunch on our way up north. It’s pretty straightforward to get there from the highway, and easy to find parking in the area.

#576 Nice food, bit crowded space, l’Ethiquête, Nantes (FR)

restaurant review #576 – Another vegan restaurant!

#556 Lovely food, spacious relaxed place, vegan restaurant Veganees, Amsterdam (NL)

restaurant review #556 – Vegan restaurant in Amsterdam! With an Asian inspired menu. Figurine seen in souvenir shop in Amsterdam= Speciesist representation of animals in popular culture.Even if no animals are physically harmed with this mini statue, it consolidates a framing as animals existing to entertain us. Elephants are not meant to do tricks. See my presentation ‘Representations of other animals‘ at the International Animal Rights Conference. (see video below)

#546 Nice vegan Indian dinner, Taj Mahal, Brugge

restaurant review #546 – Vegan Indian dinner! This restaurant used to be in the Philip Stockstraat, but moved in 2024 to Sint-Jakobsstraat (near the Central Market, right next to vegan shop LeeLoo!).

#531 Absolutely loved it! NORI – Vegan sushi, Rotterdam (NL)

restaurant review #531 – Vegan sushi restaurant. Fabulous!

#513 Huge sandwiches, vegan options clearly labelled, Cafe K, Fredericia (Dk)

restaurant review #513 – A quick sandwich lunch in a quiet Danish coastal town. The outdoor sign mentions 4 vegan sandwiches, the menu on the indoor TV mentions 3. It’s a rarity in this region to find vegan labelled dishes!

#497 Always a delight! Lunch at Greenway, Gent

restaurant review #497 – One of the pioneers in Ghent/Belgium ! I already visited this restaurant in the ’90’s when it was one of the only veg places in Gent (then vegetarian, now vegan).

#487 Nice food, friendly, Vegane Glorie, The Hague (NL)

restaurant review #487 – Vegan restaurant a bit outside of the touristy center. Was here for dinner in the Spring of 2024. The name ‘Vegane Glorie’ has a double meaning. Of course Vegan refers to the plantbased aspect. But ‘vegane glorie’ gives a hint to the Dutch saying of ‘vergane glorie’, meaning fading glory, something that was glorious in the past. Mmmm. A bit strange to choose that for your restaurant name when you consider it like that… 😉 (maybe I’m missing something here, do let me know 😉
