Cafe Modern - Voeren

I visited this restaurant in June 2021 and chose to sit on the outdoor terrace, which was lovely. The terrace itself was quite nice. The staff were friendly and adhered to wearing masks, allowing my friend to use the restroom comfortably. However, there were some issues during our visit. There were several incidents where glasses were broken and dishes were dropped, and our orders were mixed up multiple times. We had ordered the vegan version of a soup, and if the chef hadn't come out to tell us, we would have unknowingly eaten a non-vegan version. Despite us mentioning several times that we are animal rights activists and vegans, we were still served the soup with milk on another occasion.

This restaurant has a unique atmosphere with an old-school vibe. The copper jukebox adds a special touch to the ambiance. The kitchen serves very delicious food.

A calm and laid-back restaurant located on the border of Belgium (Fourons) and the Netherlands. The menu is diverse and there is a very welcoming staff that is happy to accommodate guests in any language. Enjoy a relaxed dining experience and bon appétit!

Give the "little of everything" platter a try and you'll be coming back for more.

Finally, a restaurant in this area that offers vegan options! Previously, we had to travel to Maastricht, Liège or Aachen to find a decent vegan meal. Most of the time, we had to settle for vegetarian options, where the cheese would simply be omitted from a salad without a suitable replacement. However, we recently had a pleasant dining experience in our own village at a restaurant that caters to vegans. It is a great asset to have a place like this in the tourist area opposite Voeren. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We enjoyed a delicious jackfruit Bourguignon with a side salad and French fries cooked in vegetable oil. The homemade vegan mayonnaise had a tangy flavor similar to traditional Belgian mayonnaise. Our daughter loved the homemade vegan bitterballs (Dutch meat snack). Café Modern is housed in a charming old school building with a cozy retro interior, a fireplace, and an organ. Dogs are welcome, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal after a day of hiking. Note: If you order a vegetarian burger, they will make it vegan by replacing the cheese with a vegan alternative. Update (September 2020): It appears there are new owners and the only vegan option available is the grilled zucchini dish with pumpkin, fennel, sweet potato, mushrooms, and quinoa.
