Nettah from Brussels

About me I am passionate about cities. From the chaotic creativity of Asian metropolises to the elegant sophistication of ancient European capitals, I love the energy and dynamism of urban life.

""Umamido" Brussels is a Japanese restaurant which has the best Japanese noodles, that has gotten me craving for more. Once a stall at Flagey market, now..."

In case you've been left behind by the Japanese noodle craze sweeping Europe, ramen are thin wheat noodles that originate in China. They are served in big hot bowls of broth and come with a variety of toppings. Luckily, Brussels has a great place to enjoy these delicious noodles.

Umamido was once a stall at Flagey market and was upgraded to a small place just next to the square. It's a small, minimalist place, tastefully decorated in wood and white - think Japan or Denmark. The menu is small which means that they can concentrate on the quality of each dish and their ramen really are delicious.

The prices are reasonable by Brussels standards and you will definitely leave feeling full. What's more, they quite like to experiment so you might come across some unusual flavours and innovative dishes.

They also have a second branch on Place Saint-Catherine.

Greek Delicatessen in Schuman

My favorite is Spanakopita, a buttery & flaky phyllo pastry with a filling of cooked spinach and feta cheese. For dessert I recommend a slice of Bougatsa!

Mouthwatering lasagna

I especially love their chicken lasagna because it takes away a little bit from the heavy pasta dish but still fulfills all of your carb cravings...

Place Brugmann

The stylish "French" district

"Place Brugmann" in Ixelles, slightly off the centre of Brussels, is reminiscent of Paris. I like the independent shops surrounding it & the Sunday market!
