Paul's Food Boutique - Kortrijk

As soon as I walked in, the restaurant was crowded, even though the rest of the town wasn't very busy. I was excited to try it out. They have a variety of vegetarian burgers, and I was able to choose from a few vegan options. I decided on the beans and tomato burger, which I really liked. Unfortunately, they didn't have vegan mayo, and the fries were just okay. However, as a burger lover, I have had worse experiences elsewhere.

However, there have been instances where both myself and my non-vegan boyfriend ordered a vegan burger and received a vegetarian one instead. The staff seems to be inconsistent in their knowledge of vegan options, so it is important to ask detailed questions before ordering. Additionally, there is a possibility that they are not well-informed about certain non-vegan ingredients. The fries are cooked in plant-based oil, but the food is prepared on the same stove as animal products. On a positive note, their vegan dishes can be easily ordered on Ubereats. Unfortunately, there is some confusion regarding the availability of vegan sauce for the fries. Despite these challenges, the plant-based burgers are delicious and the restaurant has made significant improvements in catering to vegans over the past year. It is evident that they value customer feedback and are committed to becoming more vegan-friendly. Overall, while there are areas for improvement, I still enjoy the food and appreciate their efforts to accommodate vegans.

I love the quinoa burger there but you have to ask the vegan version or it will have non-vegan sauce. Unfortunatly, I found this out because the first time I asked what the vegan option were and then I got it vegan. But the second time I asked the same burger and they added the non-vegan sauce.

The spinach burger was tasty, with the spinach having a good flavor and the burger being fried. The fries were a bit heavy, possibly indicating they were not baked. The sauce for the fries was good but slightly sweet. It appeared that the staff was knowledgeable about vegan options, but the vegan and meat items were prepared on the same stove and fryer. It was disappointing that there were only two vegan options compared to the extensive list of vegetarian choices. Overall, it was a decent spot for a quick bite and a burger in a unique setting.

Before I became vegan, I used to frequent this place for their vegetarian burgers. The spicy Javan veggie burger was always a favorite of mine. Now that I am vegan and still live nearby, I visit every two or three weeks for a vegan burger with vegan bread. Upon emailing to inquire about vegan options, I was pleased to hear that they offer two vegan burgers: a four seasons burger and a hazelnut burger. However, I was disappointed to find out that the hazelnut burger was not fried, which I specifically prefer. There have been instances where both myself and my non-vegan friend ordered a vegan burger and received a vegetarian one instead. It seems that the staff is not always knowledgeable about vegan options, leading to confusion and the need to ask many questions before ordering. Additionally, there is a possibility that they may not be aware of certain non-vegan ingredients. While their fries are fried in vegetable oil, the overall food preparation may not be completely vegan-friendly. However, ordering through UberEats offers a separate section for vegan dishes, which is very convenient. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any vegan sauce options for the fries. Despite these challenges, I still love their plant-based burgers and appreciate that they are making efforts to cater to vegans. Over the past year, they have become more vegan-friendly thanks to customer feedback. This responsiveness is commendable in business owners. (Updated from a previous review on 2021-04-08)
