Where can you find the best vegan street food in town? On the tiny Rue des Bouchers – you can’t make this stuff up! Guillaume Le Cavorzin (ex-Charlotte Café/Cuisine and Café Charbon) and Pauline Rosselin (a former biology teacher) form a cunning duo, as their crafty little Kitsune has already been crowned the “Best vegan fast food of Belgium.” Inside this meat-free den with a stripped-back look (exposed brick walls, a wooden counter, black and white color blocks), the chef fires out Asian fusion burgers. The day we went for lunch, we sunk our teeth into the Korean Fried Mushroom burger, aka mega crispy oyster mushroom nuggets with gochujang sauce, kimchi slaw (a clever mix of kimchi and coleslaw), pickled mustard seeds and iceberg lettuce, all stuffed inside a Hokkaido brioche bun. Also tested and approved: the Simple Smash burger featuring an azuki bean falafel patty smashed just like its meaty alter-ego, plus vegan cheddar, white onion, pickled cucumber, iceberg lettuce, kewpie mayo and ketchup. Gobble up a few kimchi rice balls – which could have been a tad bit spicier, plus some cheeky furikake fries begging to be dunked into the delish house kewpie mayo. Room for more? Try the gluten-free mochi brownie, to end things on a sweet note. // Olive Merret
