Eating vegan in Bergen need not be a treasure hunt. At Fabel’s, plant-based dishes are simply part of the menu: not tucked away in a corner, but from breakfast to dinner. So there is no need to ask specially. If you have an allergy, we are happy to think along with you. This is what you can expect from us.
In short
- Vegan: always several dishes, marked as vegan on the menu
- Vegetarian: a choice at almost every course
- Gluten-free: gluten-free bread and dishes without gluten; ask our staff
- Allergies: let us know and we will find something suitable
- Booking: not necessary; for six or more, please do
Vegan lunch
At lunchtime you can choose from a vegan poké bowl with sushi rice, avocado, edamame and wasabi crackers, a vegan wrap with summer purslane and marinated vegetables, or vegan croquettes on bread. Our homemade tomato soup, made with pomodori tomatoes, can be ordered vegan. The white and multigrain baguette and the soft rolls are vegan as standard; just mention that you don’t want butter.
Vegan dinner
The evening menu has its own green corner:
- Indian curry: mild, with potato, chickpeas and cauliflower, served with dal, mango chutney, naan bread and rice
- Pea and thyme ravioli, with summer purslane from Langedijk
- Tasty vegan burger: a Beyond Burger with vegan cheese, piccalilli-tomato sauce, shallot compote and chips
- Vegetable gyoza to start, fried, with a fresh ponzu dip
Plant-based is not a separate menu with us, just a choice.
Vegetarian and gluten-free
If you eat vegetarian, you have it easy: from the goat’s cheese salad with honey and walnuts and the stracciatella di bufala to Haki’s oven-baked Greek feta. A number of dishes, such as the bún gà nướng by our chef Trang, can be made vegetarian on request. Gluten-free? We also serve sandwiches on gluten-free bread, and the menu includes dishes without gluten; our staff will point the way.
Where you sit
Indoors at the reading table, in the conservatory at the back overlooking the garden, or outside on the heated terrace opposite the Ruïnekerk. The kitchen is open until 22:00, on Fridays and Saturdays until 22:30. You will find the full lunch menu in lunch in Bergen NH.
Fabel’s tip
Come with a mixed group. Vegan, vegetarian and meat sit side by side on the menu, so nobody has to compromise. Share the gyoza to start, then each choose your own main course.
