Funky Jungle
Mechelen, Belgium
The read// why locals go
Funky Jungle keeps a fully plant-based kitchen on Onder-den-Toren, a few steps from Mechelen's cathedral, with a short menu that changes every week. There is no separate vegan section here because there is nothing else on the card: everything the kitchen sends out is plant-based, which lets the cooking stay ambitious rather than apologetic. Dishes such as tofish and chips or a pasta with pesto sit alongside weekly suggestions built around whatever the kitchen wants to work with, and the deliberately limited choice is what keeps the standard up. Portions are meant as proper meals, not grazing plates. Takeaway can be arranged, and tables can be booked though walk-ins are welcome.
