Food in a train station

If you ever have to depart from, arrive to or transfer at Brussels train station, I have a tip for you in regards to vegan eating.

Greenway is a small chain of vegetarian restaurants in Belgium. The restaurant menu showcases a lot of vegan options and it just so happens there is a fast food counter style version of this eatery inside Brussels train station.

I took a snap of it yesterday.

The queue for food was too long for me to actually purchase anything between trains, but I was certainly interested in the wide variety of vegan options including burgers, seitan wraps, soups, salads, and juices.

Greenway can also be found in Ghent, Leuven and Antwerp. Visit their website here. The company are also involved in the foodservice industry and running catering stands at festivals.

Have you eaten the vegan options at Greenway? How was the food?

Vegan food takeover

It is being reported by multiple outlets today that vegan snack bar manufacturer Natural Balance Foods is being purchased by the people who make another vegan favourite.

Natural Balance are legendary in UK vegan circles for their much-loved Trek and Nakd bars, amongst other snacks.

News reports suggest Belgium’s Lotus Bakeries (yes it’s the speculoos people!) has sealed a deal worth more than £60 million to take control and ownership of the popular UK brand of snack bars.

It appears each time you buy Lotus biscuits and Nakd/Trek bars, your money will now be heading into the same bank account.
