Tucked away in the heart of Brussels, Kitsune is completely redefining the plant-based street food scene with its vibrant, Asian-inspired flavor profiles.

The vibe is effortlessly cool, minimalist, and hip, offering a fast-casual, inclusive space where the energy of Japanese street culture meets classic burger joint comfort.

Everything on the menu looks incredible, but for my recent visit, this burger connoisseur just had to try their classic Simple Smash!

Here is how it stacked up:

The Patty: Instead of a standard processed puck, Kitsune uses a beautifully seasoned azuki bean falafel patty.

It’s smashed thin to get those coveted, ultra-crispy, caramelized edges that define a true smash burger.

The Bun & Toppings: The patty is cradled in a soft, perfectly toasted bun and layered with crisp iceberg lettuce, a sweet drizzle of ketchup, and their signature, ultra-creamy house-made potato cheese.

It's a masterclass in texture.

Every bite hits you with the crunch of the lettuce, the crisp snap of the patty's edges, and a rich, savory finish.

Kitsune proves you don't need meat to create a legendary smash burger!

Go grab one at Petite Rue des Bouchers 25.
