Plant-Based Restaurants in Brussels

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
