Aanrader! - Edit
We aten er het lunchmenu wat bestond uit totaal vier kleine gerechtjes per persoon, wat gedeeld kon worden. Leuke en gezellige manier van eten!
Read moreHeel erg vriendelijke vrouw die kennis heeft van veganistisch eten en ons direct kon vertellen wat er aangepast werd bij een vegetarisch gerecht op het vegan te maken. Zeer behulpzame, warme en vriendelijke vrouw!
Het eten is puur en lekker en zeker voor herhaling vatbaar.

Mixed experience - Edit
Online we only saw vegetarian options but in the reservation we indicated the request for 2 vegans and that was confirmed.
Read moreThe interior is not really cosy and it quite noisy when other groups arrived.
We got the menu and instruction that all vegetarian dishes were vegan. DISCLAIMER they are not!
Michelin menu was not available due to the holiday season and menu. So we went for the sharing menu, 2 dishes for 3 courses. Interesting method to write the dishes you want on a paper yourself.
Here we also wrote that we wanted only vegan dishes. Eventhough staff ensured it should be fine.
The first course was quite disappointing. Quite a dominant seaweed flavor. The tempeh was okay but tastes like it has regular yoghurt. Noodle salad was okay. The other dishes I wouldnt order again.
The second course was my favourite. It was tasty, beautifully presented and diverse in textures. However, we noticed mayonaise that didnt look/taste vegan. After checking again it was confirmed that it wasnt and after an apology we got another dish without mayo.
We got 5 dishes here as there were only 3 vegan for the next course and that way we got 12 different dishes. The artichokes were my favourite.
The last course was okay. I especially liked the portobello was very tasty.
For a dessert they created a vegan options with Raspberry sorbet, which was okay.
All in all mixed feelings about this. Had higher expectations. Lost my appetite after getting the non vegan food so be cautious here.
Cons: We got non vegan food

The 21€ lunch menu with 2 small entrance dishes and 2 small main dishes is worth checking out. Vegan options were good and varied, some more flavourful than others.

Amazing food for a very reasonable price. - Edit
Amazing food for a very reasonable price. One of the dishes they were not sure about of it was vegan or not, the waiter went to ask 3 times and finally said it was OK but I feel a little uneasy about it still. I think it was the breaded eggplant dish. So street clear of that if you want to be sure. Lastly, the food just looks like a piece of art, so gorgeous.
Read morePros: Amazing food, Good price, Food looks like art
Cons: Waiting staff not sure about ingredients in food

Sophisticated restaurant - Edit
I had lunch at Umami because of its good location directly across from the train station. The restaurant is very sophisticated and the interior looks so posh and perfect that I felt a bit shabby in my traveller's outfit!
Read moreI chose the Chuka Wakame (seaweed salad) and Buddha Mix (mushrooms), which were a combination lunch deal. Both dishes tasted very good and fresh, but I must admit that they were so small that after having finished I still felt very hungry, and that rarely happens to me! So I recommend that you order a combination of all dishes, as described in the first review below.
Pros: Delicious and unusual dishes, Convenient location, Great and modern interior
Cons: Very small dishes

Creative veggie fusion food in a non-veg place - Edit
When we planned our day trip to Maastricht we had some difficulties to find a vegan-friendly place for lunch - which is quite astonishing for a city which is famous for its number, quality and variety of restaurants.
Read more"Umami" was not listed on Happy Cow yet. Eventually we found a vegan blog with a positive review of "Umami" and we decided to give it a try - also because of its convenient location right across the central station.
We arrived at noon and were the only guests at that time, maybe because having warm lunch in a restaurant is not so much a Dutch tradition.
The first pleasant surprise: the friendly waitress was a vegan!
The lunch card is not big but has 4 vegan dishes: "Chuka Wakame" (Japanese seaweed salad with cucumber), "Tropical Beetroot" (beetroot salad with tropical fruit), "Buddha Mix" (three kinds of mushrooms with celery) and "Spicy Monk" (zucchini served with tofu in a spicy tomato sauce).
The dishes are small and are supposed to be combined and shared. A combination of the four vegan dishes including white rice costs EUR 14.95 which is really not expensive.
The food was of the kind I often miss in our veggie restaurants: delicious, creative, fresh, colorful, with surprising combinations, nicely arranged in little bowels.
We did not try the dinner card, but for sure "Umami" is a good alternative when no veggie places are around - or when you just want to try something new.
Pros: delicious + creative food, friendly service
Cons: serves meat, wish they had more veg options
