From a vegan cappuccino through a Maui Vegan Breakfast to a Mexican Vegan Burger with falafels and guacamole, vegans can have a real feast at Lombardia.

Even the most famous vegan in the solar system, global star Moby, is a faithful Lombardia customer. Every time Moby performs in Belgium, we provide his vegan food. See YouTube film clips!

What is a vegan restaurant

In a vegan restaurant, all animal products are replaced by vegetable alternatives. Vegan cuisine therefore requires a whole different approach to conventional cooking.

Vegan food? You might think that vegan restaurants only serve grass and vegetables. Well, nothing could be further from the truth!

What's the basis for a vegan restaurant?

A balanced diet consists of a healthy mix of proteins, carbohydrates and fat. Fish, eggs, milk, cheese and meat contain high levels of animal proteins. Proteins are responsible, among other things, for muscle development and cell growth. Without proteins we would be as limp as a warm lettuce leaf.

So how does a vegan restaurant deal with this?

Well, not by serving muscle-building protein shakes..! Get real!

A vegan diet juggles with pulses, nuts and grains which are full of protein.

For example, Lombardia's vegan dish of the day might include coral lentils, whole rice, black beans and cashew nuts. Very rich in proteins!

Did you know? Lombardia's vegan taco is a vegan recipe from the New York musician Moby himself!

Vegan restaurant for the advanced?

As a vegan restaurant, Lombardia regularly experiments with the Raw Food culinary art. The Raw Food diet uses only raw vegetables so as to preserve as many nutrients as possible in the food. With a bit of trickery and wizardry Lombardia transforms vegetables into amazing combinations.

Vegan breakfast? Find out more information before starting to experiment, because the right food combinations and preparations are vital for a Happy Digestion!

Vegan restaurants around the globe

The hippie village of Paia in Maui has a small vegan restaurant called Raw Experience. If you surf on Hookipa Beach, you should certainly check it out.

Berlin has one of the best gourmet vegan restaurants around, La Mano Verde. The raw vegan ravioli was absolutely fabulous!
