I had seen the place already some months ago but never managed to go there. AMI is a vegetarian/vegan restaurant with nice decor, full of light and delicious food. I have been there with a friend and her 1,5 years old daughter. It is kid-friendly and the staff is very kind and attentive. We had a soup and a veggie burger and the little one had a quinoa salad. Everything was fresh and tasty! An the prices are more than fair! The burgers are on the small side, so get two or add a soup or small salad! Definitely a place where I will bring my vegan friends when they are visiting, since in Brussels sometimes restaurants don't really get the concept of being vegan ;) read more

Firstly, I must admit I'm a bit nostalgic about this place which used to be an amazing homemade soup shop - it's still a bit weird to step and not find the smell of soup. First impression of Ami is generally positive - at 1pm it was almost completely full and the menu looked tempting. Given the demand for seats, we shared a table with another guy. While we ordered drinks (interesting choices) the guy waited to order, having arrived 5 minutess ahead of us. The staff were so busy that he was completely ignored, and discreetly gave up and walked out. Not a good start! Anyway, we went and ahead and ordered (shortly afterwards!) and were advised that the burgers will mini - i.e. better to order two at a time, or else combine it with soup. Good advice: they are delicious but are not a meal in themselves, even for lunch. My favourite was the Mexican-themed burger (I forget the name). Soup was some obscure vegetable which I decided to risk, and it turned out to be excellent - big thumbs up. Would definitely go back to try again - staff were very pleasant, but would maybe try and beat the lunchtime rush during the week. read more

This is a must go for both vegetarians and meat eaters. The staff is so friendly and the food is just fantastic. We were two non French speakers but it wasn't an issue and we had a very enjoyable evening and will definitely recommend it to others as well as return as soon as possible read more

If you read one review for this restaurant, let this be it, because this restaurant nearly killed my partner. We ate at Ami for the second time, and informed them at the beginning that my partner has an allergic reaction to walnuts. We asked them if he could eat a specific pasta, and were assured that it was safe. When the pasta came, it was covered in walnuts. The waitress noticed as she put it on the table and took it away. A few minutes later she came back with a new dish without walnuts, so we began eating. Shortly after, we realised she had merely plucked out the most visible walnuts, and there were others still in. My partner had an extremely serious allergic reaction. We rushed to the hospital, where he could hardly breathe, had extreme back, mouth, chest and throat pain for several hours. It feels like torture. Medicine to treat allergic reactions has severe immediate side effects like sleeplessness and depression. All of this happened tonight, and if we had been less lucky or less quick to notice, my partner could have died. We received a shameful, despicable and illegal service from Ami. We hope this never happens to anybody else. This is especially worrying because it is the second time we go to Ami, and a similar thing happened last time. The first time, nearly a year ago, we also told them of our allergies and asked if a dish was safe. They said yes. They then brought the dish and it was covered in nuts. It was luckily replaced in its entirety before we are it that time, but clearly this restaurant takes zero safety precautions and does not care if they are responsible for a customer's death. read more

I went to this place on Saturday to have lunch while I was deseperly looking for an open place to eat at 14h. The waiters were nice and the food was good with a fresh decoration on the background. I had a bolgour salad and a mini sandwich and liked both a lot. The only thing I was disappointed was that the juices were from a bottle and not natural ones. read more

I went to this place several times and the burgers are very nice, especially if you want something healthier. However, i dont recommend ordering anything else. The rice noodle dish was edible at best, and this other vegan warm dish was not nice either. Staff was ok. read more

The beautiful garden terrace, the super friendly staff, and the amaaaaazing vegetarian dishes! Another favourite in Brussels :)

Nice place. Excellent concept, clear ideas and a plan well executed. Service efficient and with a smile! Nice, simple, healthy, comforting food. Good prices. Top location. A nice vegetarian alternative at Flagey. I totally recommend this place and will for sure be back. read more

Apparemment, le veggie-vegan fut la big trend de 2016. Et ça va pas s'arrêter en 2017. Autant que les carnassiers s'y habituent... Mais il n'est pas impossible de satisfaire tout le monde. AMI est la cosy lunch place où l'on peut réunir sans souci les vegan-intégristes, les légumes-friendly, ceux qui veulent réduire leur consommation de viande sans avoir l'impression d'être puni, ainsi que les veggie-sceptiques qui se taperaient bien un gros burger au Valera's tout proche... Ce dernier spécimen sera peut-être même surpris par le menu, car son burger, il pourra l'avoir ! En mode veggie certes, mais quand même. Le steak haché est remplacé par une galette soja-petit pois-courgettes-carottes, le burger est de petite taille (l'idéal pour les appétits modérés), mais le prix entre 5€ et 5,5€ permet aux bonnes fourchettes d'en prendre deux pour une addition semblable aux autres burgers joints viandeux de la capitale (pour info, les burgers du Manhattn's ou de Ellis sont aux alentours de 9-12€). Du coup, c'est même l'occasion d'en tester deux différents. Mais les burgers, ce n'est que la surface de l'iceberg végétarien, y a aussi l'embarras du choix entre des croques et des sandwichs inventifs, ainsi que des petites salades on the side. Mention spéciale pour le sandwich Popeye : purée de petits pois, feta, épinards et une très bonne sauce piquante qui lui ajoute un spicy kick bienvenu. Une tuerie ! Enfin, au sens imagé du terme je veux dire... ahem... On peut opter pour les "formules" (qui c'est qui a dit formule ?!) qui proposent des combos soupe du jour parmi deux choix + burger/sandwich/croque. Ne pleure donc pas parce que t'as pas ton habituel club ou martino, ça va daller... On ajoute à tout cet enthousiasme foodique un service détendu et souriant, et le fait que même si tu vas déjeuner seul, tu ne seras pas accueilli comme un "sous-client" : tu auras droit à une vraie table, comme tout le monde, et selon l'ordre d'arrivée dans cette cantine sympa toujours bondée entre 12h et 14h. C'est d'autant plus appréciable que ce n'est pas toujours le cas sur Bruxelles où le luncheur solo se voit souvent relégué sur un vieux tabouret ou dépassé par des convives plus nombreux. AMI, c'est la fête du hummus, du quinoa, des épinards, des herbes fraîches, et des semoules, dans des combinaisons audacieuses qui fonctionnent et rendent l'approche veg-friendly assez funky. Bref, si t'es vegan-veggie, t'as ton nouveau QG. Et si tu souhaites simplement réduire ta consommation de viande par moments, t'as trouvé ton nouvel AMI... read more
