Discover the best vegan restaurants in Antwerp

Looking for the best vegan restaurants in Antwerp? Not aching for some bacon, but for delicious plant based dishes? Trot Op! will take you by the hand for a tour of its magnificent seven.

If you want to stay fit and sexy like me, you simply can’t eat burgers and fries every day, kids. Which is why I decided to keep my gastronomic adventures on the healthy side this time. And what better way is there to do just that, than going full vegan for the week? After all: veggies have an undeniable reputation for being awfully nutritious and beneficial to the body. And because a myriad of decent vegan restaurants popped up in Antwerp in recent years, it promised to be a tasty seven days as well. To ensure some quality control, I asked a couple of my herbivore friends for their favourite places. They gave me a whole list of them in no time.

The best vegan restaurants in Antwerp

Some meat eaters truly believe vegans are mythical creatures, roaming the forests with flowers woven through their wild hippy hairdos, wearing self-made hemp clothes and surviving solely on gathered mushrooms and by grazing the odd clearing. This of course, is not completely true. A plant based diet can be surprisingly rich, varied and tasty. I quickly discovered this when I started booking tables at some of the best vegan restaurants in Antwerp. I ate a lot and I ate well, and I didn’t have to go and lie down for two hours afterwards, due to the standard overworked stomach. A pleasant change indeed. Shall we take a look at the list?

1.  De Rosenobel

De Rosenobel is a nice restaurant on a prime spot in the shadow of our fabulous cathedral. Some time ago they changed the menu from vegetarian to full vegan. Normally there’s a large buffet to enjoy. You can pick whatever and as much as you want, and the plate is then weighed to figure out the cost. In corona times things are of course slightly different. Now they work with a menu with lots of dishes to share. You can eat everything here, from delicious pizzas and lasagnas to spicy curries and amazing desserts. Perfect for people who still need some convincing on the variety of vegan cuisine. www.rosenobel.be

Aahaar is probably the best Indian restaurant in Antwerp, and it’s completely vegetarian as well – with a lot of vegan options available. The interior is quite basic, but is actually a perfect representation of the average New Delhi restaurants I visited back in the day. The quality and the price of the food here are simply unbeatable. For just €10 – yes, ten euros – you can already get in line for the all you can eat buffet. This said, I would firmly suggest that you go for some à la carte dishes instead, and share them with the rest of your table. Aahaar offers culinary classics from all over India. No tikka masala here, but they have just about everything else. Absolute gem for when you want to eat like a king on a small budget. www.aahaar.com

Right before I finished this article, someone told me to check out a brand new restaurant in Borgerhout, run by a young lady. Clo – in Kroonstraat right next door from Kringwinkel – just opened this February. Two weeks later the corona lockdown started and she had to close down again. Not the best way to start a new business. Luckily the restaurant reopened last month, and seems to be doing well. On weekdays, you can have lunch here until 4pm. In the weekend you can go for dinner as well. If you go, try the sweet potato waffles: very tasty. Go on, support your locals! www.facebook.com/clo.antwerp/

4. Wild Project

The Wild Project is a hip vegan restaurant in the city centre. It’s decorated in a homely way, and gives off a bit of a Mediterranean vibe – as does the food. The owners work with local farmers exclusively, which makes the menu completely seasonal. If you want to try a whole number of different dishes, go for the colourful sharing menu offering four or six courses. You can dig down for just €20/30 per person. Thirsty? Order a fresh cocktail or a fun little microbrewery beer to go with the meal. www.wild-antwerp.com

5.  Starfish & Coffee

When Starfish & Coffee – in the south of the city near Den Bell – opened more than 12 years ago, it offered sandwiches with bacon or cheese like so many other businesses did. But after moving to the countryside and falling in love with the neighbouring cows, the owner decided to gradually turn it into one of the true vegan pioneers in Antwerp. She is sticking to takeaway for now, due to the inevitable corona crisis. On Monday, Thursday and Saturday you can order sandwiches with vegan salmon or preparé. On Saturdays you can order a number of more elaborate dishes as well. Salads and lovely desserts are always available when open. Order your food on the website.   www.starfishantwerpen.be

Fella is located on the beautiful Vrijdagmarkt in the city centre. This is a vegetarian restaurant with lots of vegan options. Here too everything is produced locally, which makes for another completely seasonal menu. Perfect for healthy but satisfying lunches, are the thick slices of farmer’s bread topped with different spreads and vegetables. It’s ideal for brunches as well, especially on Friday when the antique market is set up on the square. It’s been there for almost 500 years, which effectively makes it antique as well.  www.facebook.com/fellaantwerp/

7.  Bar d’Henri

Do you think vegan tapas are hip, but want to take it up a notch? Book a table in Bar d’Henri on a Thursday evening then. There’s a live jazz band playing at that time. Tapas are not the only dishes on offer here. They also offer vegan burgers, wraps and lasagnas. A tapas menu will cost you €25 per person including dessert. Jazzy cocktails are sold as well. Don’t order the Beefeater Gin though – hadn’t made a dumb joke in a while, sorry. Getting a reservation is advisable, take it from me. www.dhenri.be

“The last few years a surprising number of vegan restaurants opened in Antwerp. A couple of years ago, there were just a few places; now you can have a delicious vegan meal all over the city.”

There: seven vegan restaurants in Antwerp for you to enjoy some healthy, tasty and sustainable meals in. Got some more tips for potential vegans? Is your absolute favourite not on the list? Are you still aching for some bacon? Let it all loose in the comments below.

Crafting Delicious & Nutritious Vegan Meals: A Complete Guide

If you’re curious about veganism but aren’t sure where to start, you’re not alone. The world of plant-based eating can be daunting, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. A well-planned vegan diet can provide all the nutrients your body needs while reducing your environmental impact and helping animals.

But what does a vegan diet actually look like? And how can you create delicious and satisfying meals without relying on meat, dairy, and eggs? In this ultimate guide to delicious and nutritious vegan meals, we’ll answer those questions and more. We’ll cover everything from the benefits of a vegan diet to essential nutrients to vegan substitutes for common ingredients. We’ll also share our favorite vegan recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and desserts. By the end of this guide, you’ll have all the tools you need to create a plant-based diet that works for you.

The Benefits of a Vegan Diet

There are many reasons to adopt a vegan diet, from ethical concerns to health benefits to environmental impact. Here are a few of the most compelling reasons to consider going vegan:

Health Benefits

Studies have shown that a well-planned vegan diet can provide all the nutrients your body needs, while also reducing your risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Plant-based diets are typically high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, while also being low in saturated fat and cholesterol. This can lead to better digestion, more energy, and a lower risk of chronic disease.

Environmental Impact

Animal agriculture is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution. By choosing a vegan diet, you can reduce your environmental impact and help protect our planet for future generations.

Ethical Concerns

Many people choose a vegan diet because of their concerns for animal welfare. The reality is that factory farming is a cruel and inhumane industry, and by choosing to eat plant-based, you can help reduce the suffering of animals.

Essential Nutrients for Vegans

While a well-planned vegan diet can provide all the nutrients your body needs, there are a few nutrients that can be more challenging to get on a plant-based diet. Here are a few of the most important nutrients for vegans, and how to get them:

Protein is essential for building and repairing tissues and is especially important for athletes and active individuals. Good vegan sources of protein include beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, seitan, nuts, and seeds.

Calcium is important for bone health, and many people think they need to drink milk to get enough. However, there are plenty of vegan sources of calcium, including leafy greens like kale and collard greens, fortified plant milk, and tofu.

Iron is important for transporting oxygen throughout the body, but it can be challenging to get enough on a vegan diet. Good vegan sources of iron include dark leafy greens, beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, and fortified cereals.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is important for nerve function and blood cell production, but it’s only found in animal products. Vegans should supplement with B12 or eat fortified foods like plant milk and cereals.

Vegan Substitutes for Meat, Dairy, and Eggs

One of the biggest challenges of going vegan is finding substitutes for common animal-based ingredients like meat, dairy, and eggs. Luckily, there are plenty of vegan substitutes that are just as delicious and often more nutritious. Here are a few of our favorites:

Meat Substitutes

There are a wide variety of vegan meat substitutes on the market, from veggie burgers to plant-based chicken nuggets. However, you can also make your own meat substitutes using ingredients like tempeh, tofu, seitan, and jackfruit.

Dairy Substitutes

There are many delicious vegan substitutes for dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt. Plant-based milk like soy, almond, and oat milk are widely available, as are vegan cheeses made from nuts or soy. For yogurt, try coconut or soy yogurt.

Egg Substitutes

Eggs can be tough to replace in recipes, but there are plenty of vegan substitutes that work well. For binding, try ingredients like flaxseed meal, chia seeds, or mashed banana. For leavening, try baking powder or vinegar.

Tips for Meal Planning and Preparation

Meal planning and preparation are key to making a vegan diet work for you. Here are a few tips to make it easier:

Plan Your Meals in Advance

Take a few minutes each week to plan out your meals and snacks. This will help you stay on track and avoid last-minute decisions that may not be as healthy.

Cooking in large batches can save you time and energy throughout the week. Make a big pot of soup or chili on the weekend and enjoy it for lunch or dinner throughout the week.

Stock Your Pantry

Make sure you have plenty of vegan staples in your pantry, like beans, lentils, grains, and canned tomatoes. This will make it easier to throw together a quick and healthy meal when you’re short on time.

Delicious Vegan Breakfast Ideas

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and there are plenty of delicious vegan options to choose from. Here are a few of our favorites:

Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are a great way to start your day with whole grains and fiber. Simply mix rolled oats with plant-based milk, chia seeds, and your favorite toppings, and let it sit in the fridge overnight.

Smoothie Bowls

Smoothie bowls are a fun and colorful way to get your daily dose of fruits and veggies. Blend up frozen fruit, leafy greens, and plant-based milk or yogurt, and top with granola, nuts, and seeds.

Tofu Scramble

Tofu scramble is a vegan take on scrambled eggs, and it’s just as delicious. Crumble firm tofu and sauté with veggies and spices for a savory and satisfying breakfast.

Nutritious Vegan Lunch Options

Lunch is a great opportunity to load up on veggies and plant-based protein. Here are a few vegan lunch ideas to try:

Buddha Bowl

Buddha bowls are a popular vegan lunch option and for good reason. They’re a great way to pack in a variety of veggies, grains, and protein. Start with a base of greens or grains, and add roasted veggies, beans, tofu, or tempeh, and a flavorful sauce.

Chickpea Salad Sandwich

Chickpea salad is a vegan take on chicken salad, and it’s just as satisfying. Mash chickpeas with vegan mayo, dijon mustard, and your favorite seasonings, and serve on whole grain bread or a wrap.

Lentil Soup

Lentil soup is a hearty and satisfying lunch option that’s easy to make in large batches. Sauté veggies like onion, carrot, and celery, add lentils and vegetable broth and let simmer until tender.

Satisfying Vegan Dinner Recipes

Dinner is often the most challenging meal of the day for vegans, especially if you’re used to relying on meat as the main source of protein. But with a little creativity and some tasty ingredients, you can create satisfying vegan dinners that will leave you feeling full and nourished.

Roasted Vegetables With Quinoa

One delicious vegan dinner option is roasted vegetables with quinoa. Simply chop up some vegetables of your choice (we love sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and red onion), toss them with some olive oil and spices, and roast them in the oven for about 30 minutes. While the vegetables are roasting, cook some quinoa according to the package instructions. Once everything is ready, serve the roasted vegetables on top of the quinoa for a colorful and flavorful vegan meal.

Vegan Spaghetti and “Meatballs”

For a more traditional dinner option, try making vegan spaghetti and “meatballs”. To make the “meatballs”, simply combine some cooked lentils, breadcrumbs, and spices in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is well combined. Form the mixture into balls and bake them in the oven for about 20 minutes. Serve the “meatballs” over spaghetti with some marinara sauce for a satisfying and delicious vegan dinner.

Vegan Desserts and Snacks

Just because you’re following a vegan diet doesn’t mean you have to miss out on delicious desserts and snacks. In fact, there are plenty of tasty vegan options that are both satisfying and healthy.

Chocolate Avocado Mousse

One of our favorite vegan desserts is chocolate avocado mousse. To make the mousse, simply blend together some avocado, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Serve the mousse in small bowls or glasses and top it with some fresh berries for a decadent and healthy dessert.

Roasted Chickpeas

Another delicious vegan snack option is roasted chickpeas. Simply drain and rinse a can of chickpeas, toss them with some olive oil and spices, and roast them in the oven for about 30 minutes until they’re crispy and golden brown. Roasted chickpeas are a great source of plant-based protein and are a satisfying snack to have on hand for when hunger strikes.

Vegan Popcorn with Nutritional Yeast.

For a sweet and savory snack, try making vegan popcorn with nutritional yeast. Simply pop some popcorn kernels in a pot with some coconut oil, then sprinkle some nutritional yeast and salt over the top for a cheesy and flavorful snack.

Going vegan may seem overwhelming at first, but with a little planning and preparation, it can be a delicious and rewarding way to nourish your body and protect the planet. By incorporating these tips and recipes into your diet, you’ll be well on your way to creating delicious and nutritious vegan meals that will leave you feeling satisfied and energized.
