Yatai

In the vibrant neighborhood of Wazemmes, a little spot is already making waves. Yatai is Asian street food at its finest, but with a homemade twist that we absolutely love (already). It's a place that's as cozy as it is delicious, where you come for a comforting lunch just as much as for a sweet break with surprising flavors.

If you were to try just one thing, it would be the sweet treats made in Yatai. The matcha mochi cookies are out of this world: wonderfully soft, perfectly flavored, with just the right amount of matcha to avoid being too bitter. And what about the chive mochi, a delightful sweet-salty bomb that intrigues as much as it delights. Add to that ultra-fragrant yuzu cakes, chestnut and strawberry cream mochis, and equally indulgent rolls, and you've got a truly Asian tea room that's an absolute must-visit.

A warm welcome and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back

The place is cozy, with thoughtful decor, and the service is super friendly. Whether it's for a quick lunch or a delightful snack break with a delicious hibiscus tea, you feel right at home here. As it starts to fill up, Yatai could quickly become the go-to spot where everyone in Wazemmes comes to enjoy a meal.
