Bodhi
Leuven, Belgium
The read// why locals go
Bodhi cooks entirely plant-based Asian food on Parijsstraat, in the middle of Leuven. Noodle soups, curries and sharing dishes drawn from traditional flavours, made with simple ingredients and served fast when you need them fast — the kitchen is used to diners heading on to something else in the centre. Nothing on the menu contains meat or dairy, but the framing is deliberately open rather than evangelical: vegans and non-vegans eat the same food here. Mains are around €18. A local food blog was early to recommend it, and the format — comfort food, modest prices, quick turnaround — has kept it in the rotation since.
