Sustainability at the table

The VUB restaurant uses local ingredients, seasonal vegetables, fair-trade agricultural produce and sustainably certified fish to create varied and sustainable menus. In recent years, we’ve also increased the share of plant-based dishes. Vegan meals are becoming more and more popular, and every meal at our restaurant contains at least 200 grams of vegetables.

Less waste

We also help reduce waste by offering takeaway-drinks in a reusable Billie Cup only. This saves us 40,000 disposable cups every year! Moreover, the restaurant tries to limit food surpluses as much as possible. Any surpluses are biomethanised: leftovers are fermented and the methane gas that is produced is converted into heat and green electricity.

All that reading has made you hungry, hasn’t it?

Go and grab yourself a sandwich with a veggie spread, a delicious piece of cake or the vegan menu of the day!
