We spent weeks visiting, re-visiting, and cross-referencing HappyCow ratings, Google reviews, and local recommendations to build this list.

★ Our Pick

🍽️

Humus x Hortense

100% Vegan

Rue de Vergnies 2, 1050 Ixelles

Brussels' most celebrated vegan restaurant occupies a stylish corner space in Ixelles where the menu revolves around seasonal vegetable-forward dishes with Middle Eastern and North African influences. The signature hummus — silky, warm, and topped with spiced mushrooms or roasted cauliflower — has earned a citywide reputation. The natural wine list and craft cocktails make it equally excellent for dinner or drinks.

Dolma 100% Vegan

Rue du Trône 36, 1050 Ixelles

This all-vegan restaurant near the EU institutions has been serving Brussels' plant-based community since 2012, making it one of the city's vegan pioneers. The daily-changing lunch menu features wholesome dishes — grain bowls, vegetable gratins, house-made soups — with an organic focus. The homey, unpretentious atmosphere and affordable prices draw a loyal crowd of Eurocrats and locals alike.

HappyCow: ★ 4.0 (190) Price: $13-22 Area: Ixelles / EU Quarter

🍽️

Greenway

Rue des Alexiens 60, 1000 Brussels

Fast-casual vegetarian chain with multiple Brussels locations, but the Marolles flagship near the Sablon has the best atmosphere in a vaulted brick cellar. Their burgers, wraps, and bowls are almost entirely vegan, with global flavors from Indian tikka to Mexican chipotle to Japanese teriyaki. The price-to-quality ratio is hard to beat in central Brussels.

HappyCow: ★ 4.0 (220) Price: $11-17 Area: Marolles / City Center

🍽️

Veganneke 100% Vegan

Rue Antoine Dansaert 78, 1000 Brussels

A cheeky play on "Manneken" that serves Belgium's most famous street food entirely plant-based. Vegan frites with house-made mayo, stoofvlees (Belgian stew) with seitan, and crispy vegan bitterballen draw both tourists and locals to this Dansaert hot spot. The portions are enormous, the prices are fair, and the attitude is pure Brussels irreverence.

HappyCow: ★ 4.5 (150) Price: $9-15 Area: Dansaert / City Center

🍽️

Le Botaniste 100% Vegan

Rue de Namur 86, 1000 Brussels

Apothecary-styled all-vegan and organic restaurant near Place Louise where plant-based bowls, cold-pressed juices, and organic wines are served in a gorgeous space of marble counters, brass fixtures, and hanging greenery. The CBD-infused smoothie and the truffle mushroom bowl are signatures. Multiple locations across Belgium, but the Brussels original has the most character.

HappyCow: ★ 4.0 (175) Price: $13-20 Area: Louise / Porte de Namur

🍽️

Chez Max Vegan Waffles

Place du Grand Sablon 16, 1000 Brussels

This Sablon waffle house has embraced the vegan movement with a dedicated plant-based waffle menu featuring both Brussels (light, rectangular) and Liège (dense, sugar-pearl) styles made with oat milk and aquafaba. Toppings range from dark Belgian chocolate (naturally vegan) to speculoos spread and seasonal berries. Proving that Belgium's most iconic food needs no dairy to be magnificent.

HappyCow: ★ 4.0 (85) Price: $7-13 Area: Sablon

🍽️

Tich

Rue de l'Aqueduc 88, 1050 Ixelles

Vietnamese-inspired restaurant in the Saint-Gilles/Ixelles border area where traditional pho, banh mi, and bun are offered with excellent plant-based protein options alongside the standard menu. The vegan pho with star anise-infused broth, fresh herbs, and crispy tofu is among the best bowls of soup in Brussels. The intimate space fills quickly on weekends, so arrive early.

HappyCow: ★ 4.5 (135) Price: $14-24 Area: Saint-Gilles / Ixelles

How We Ranked These Venues

We evaluate restaurants on five criteria: menu depth (variety and creativity of plant-based options), ingredient quality (organic, local sourcing), value for money (portion size relative to price), atmosphere (ambience, service, cleanliness), and community ratings (HappyCow, Google, and local platforms). Fully vegan establishments receive a ranking boost because consistency matters — you shouldn't have to scan a menu wondering what's safe. We re-check every venue quarterly and adjust rankings accordingly.

Tips for Visitors

Book ahead for dinner. The top-ranked spots fill up fast, especially on weekends. Lunch is almost always walk-in friendly. Check HappyCow for real-time updates — hours and menus shift seasonally. Ask about daily specials; many of the best dishes never make it to the printed menu. And don't skip street food — some of the most memorable plant-based meals in Brussels come from carts and market stalls that will never appear on a "best of" list.
