Folia | Fine Dining Restaurant

The core menu is built around vegetables — chef Bart Gauwloos describes the kitchen as 'vegetable-forward fine dining'. A three-course lunch and five-course dinner are available as fully vegetarian menus by default, with a flexitarian option adding fish or meat. The kitchen uses butter, cream, cheese and eggs, so this is not a vegan setup, but vegetarian diners are the primary audience.

Per-allergen evidence

Vegetarian

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

Vegan

confidence 70% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu can be adapted to a fully vegan experience when requested at booking. The chef says it's 'a nice challenge to create surprising flavours without animal products'. However, the kitchen is not dedicated vegan — it routinely uses butter, cream, cheese and eggs — so cross-contamination risk exists. Vegan diners should mention their needs when reserving and confirm with staff on the day.
