Décevant

J'ai pris la gaufre salée Vegan sunrise et la pâte était lourde et très sèche, le fromage n'était pas du tout fondu et il y avait très peu d'avocat, quelques très fines lamelles. La portion n'était pas généreuse.
La gaufre sucrée pour le dessert manquait aussi de saveurs, aucune légèreté dans la pâte et le chocolat était trop corsé.
De plus, le serveur était antipathique, je semblais le déranger à chaque fois que je lui demandais quelque chose.
C'était définitivement trop cher pour ce que c'était.
Je ne recommande pas !

Cons: Service désagréable , Manque de saveurs , Trop cher

Disapointing

We had a coffee and some waffles. Maybe because it was organic plant based milk, but I did not taste the coffee, it was quite watery. The waffles were vegan but not fluffy and quite heavy.

Pros: Friendly staff, A lot of vegan items on the menu

Cons: Waited very long to be served the ordered, Quite expensive

Great vegan options

It was a day trip to Brussels and I found this lovely cafe on the app. The savoury vegan waffle was amazing and truly delicious. The staff were also super lovely. Would really recommend trying the food here, I was very impressed.

Pros: Food options, Friendliest staff, Ambience of the venue

Cons: None

Interesting vegan options

We had a vegan savoury waffle and a vegan "fried egg". Though the texture of the waffle was different to what I would expect (it had spinach in and was gluten free), it was very tasty and filling.
The vegan fried egg was like nothing I had had or seen before. The yellow middle was pureed pumpkin. I don't know what the white was made from, but it was apparently quite similar to real fried eggs!

Reccomend the avocado juice.

Cute interior and yummy waffels 🌱

There are plenty of vegan options - I decided go go with a blueberry waffel and I was not dissappointed. Staff is very kind, the place is adorable and well-located. I will be back :)

Ok

Large selection of vegan options. I had a green waffle with vegan bacon, mozzarella avocado and tomato. The taste was ok but the portion not enough at all.

Nice, but pricy

I really like the focaccia (GF) with vegan mozarella, olive tapenade and avocado.
Only the sandwiches used to be double its size and now it's disappointingly small, which makes it expensive for what you get.

What a fun stop in the city

I had a gorgeous time in the city. There is so much to see and eat. This restaurant felt sweet, albeit pricey, yet the food was worth the exploration. When in Brussels, waffle!

Pros: Variety, Location , WiFi

Cons: Price

Disappointing

Portion size is dismal, taste bland, coffee awful and undrinkable, especially for the price. I was really looking forward to my last vegan Belgian meal as so far the food has been incredible! ... but this was the worst I've had in all of Belgium and the NL! I would have been better off with a falafel salad for €5 from Panos to be honest.

The oat milk in the iced coffee was so bad I took one sip and no more. Was still charged €6 for it though

The small cup of soup was tasty but the focaccia was not. It was missing the avocado (I had to ask for it and added in myself) and was very bland and dry. Way too much olive tapenade and the menu said arugla but it came with a few spinach leaves...not quite the same kick in flavour

The vegan cheese was also tasteless.

Pros: Veg soup

Cons: Oat milk / iced coffee , Focaccia taste and size, Overpriced for quality

Very helpful waitress

I wanted to try a Belgian beer but the menu didn't say which ones were vegan. The waitress spent a while checking to find one for me. I had one of the savoury waffles which was tasty.

Pros: Food, Beer, Helpful staff

Cons: Vegan drinks unclear on menu

Nice place for breakfast

A lot of vegan options which are clearly labeled in menu. The vegan waffle with cheese, bacon and dried tomatoes was delicious. They have also tables outside with beautiful view on Grand Place.

Central

To find a spot within 100 metres of the Grand Place with so many vegan options was great, including sweet and savoury waffles. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

Given their location to such a touristy hotspot, it's nice to see them having such a large vegan offering. A good spot but quite expensive for what it is. Great soup.

Pros: Central location, Variety of vegan options, Fresh ingredients

Cons: Expensive

Average & pricey

Fancy vibe but kind of unfriendly / rough waiter. Way too pricey. But in the middle of the Center thats might you need to accept.

Lots of VG options

I love the name of the place, so I went definitely with, nobody else then my sister 🥰.
This place offers a quite large range of vegan options, from sweet to savory, salads to bowls, soup and finger foods.
The waffle was good, simple but nicely fluffy and the iced latte is perfect for warm days.
I would need to try out other items from the menu to give a better & more detailed feedback.

Nice breakfast spot in the city

I had the tofu bacon and scrambled eggs breakfast with avocado and olive tapenade and it was very nice. I also had a juice with orange, ginger, apple and lemon and it was very fresh. All in all very nice and central with loads of vegan option, although a bit expensive for what it is.

Pros: Very fresh and organic , Central , Lots of vegan options

Cons: Quite expensive

Their vegan waffles were really good and they have plant-based milk options. It’s ideally located in the center of Brussels

Tasty but pricey

Really cute place, tasty sandwich and soup… quite expensive for what it is, however it’s very close to the grand square which may be why!

Endroit Sympathique !

Situé juste à côté de la Grande Place, ce restaurant proposant un menu bio avec énormément d'options véganes était une bonne découverte !!

Il y a des gauffres, soupes, focaccias..le choix est très appréciable.

Je n'ai pu testé qu'un seul plat, la gauffre Vegan Sunrise, qui était très très bonne mais dont la portion pour un plat entier m'a un peu laissé sur ma faim.

Il y a une programmation événementielle avec des ateliers et du stand-up au restaurant !

Belle découverte

Au hasard d'une balade dans le centre ville nous sommes tombés sur cette charmante enseigne. Beaucoup d'options véganes, à part dans les sandwichs. Les jus frais pressés sont un gros plus ! C'était très bon.

Pros: Les jus frais pressés , Le nombre d'options véganes, Le cadre

Les gaufres !!😍

Pas loin de la grande place, The Sister propose une belle variété de la spécialité culinaire de la région : les gaufres. Gaufres rectangulaires donc puisqu'on est à Bruxelles et pas à Liège (ronde). Alors ayant mangé une pseudo (mais bonne) Poutine végane au Patatak à deux rues de là, je ne me voyais pas trop me prendre une gaufre avec légumes/tofu . Donc je suis passé directement au dessert. Cela faisait 101 ans que je n'avais pas mangé de gaufre, et les souvenirs que j'avais c'était un truc très sucré avec en plus du sucre glace dessus totalement écoeurant. Bin là c'était pas du tout le cas. Une belle gaufre légère où le sucre se situe essentiellement dans l'accompagnement : le chocolat et la boule de vanille. Étant végétarien, je n'ai pas vraiment demandé de détail sur la préparation de tout ça. Mais y avait le petit V de végane sur le menu. Donc j'imagine que c'était une gaufre végane, du chocolat végane et une boule de glace végane. Mais j'en suis pas du tout certain. Sur les menus ça devient de plus en plus confus la différence entre végane et végétarien. Si la direction de The Sister met en avant sa politique vegan friendly, la différence entre végétarien et végane dans les menus n'est pas claire je trouve. En tout cas pour les végétariens je conseille les yeux fermés. Une bonne adresse pour les gaufres pour le dessert.

Pros: Le cadre, Le service, Les gaufres

Good place for vegan food next to the Grand Place. Clearly labelled, and the falafels and vegan soup were very good. Friendly staff, and reasonable prices considering the location...
