Humus x Hortense

confidence 85% ·

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.

The restaurant describes itself as 'the first and only 100% plant based restaurant in Belgium being awarded by the Michelin guide.' The entire menu is plant-based, so vegan is the default. However, the kitchen is not certified by the Vegan Society Trademark or similar body, and the menu does not mark individual dishes as vegan.

Honest caveat: One blog review notes the restaurant is 'not an all-vegan restaurant' despite being crowned 'best vegan restaurant in the world,' suggesting some non-vegan ingredients may be used in certain dishes or drinks (e.g., aquafaba foam replacing egg white).

As a 100% plant-based restaurant, the entire menu is vegetarian by default. No vegetarian-specific concerns arise beyond the same caveat about potential non-vegan ingredients noted for vegan diners.

Honest caveat: Same caveat as vegan: one blog review suggests the restaurant may not be entirely plant-based, so vegetarian diners should confirm with staff.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The kitchen does not have a dedicated gluten-free setup or marked menu, but staff will accommodate coeliac requests when given 24 hours advance notice. A single FindMeGlutenFree review reports they 'made gluten-free variations for everything.' The venue charges €15 for allergy modifications not communicated at booking, so advance notice is essential.

Honest caveat: The venue charges a €15 surcharge for allergy modifications not reported at least 24 hours before arrival, which may discourage last-minute coeliac diners.
