Homemade Artisanal Noodles

This restaurant stands out for its small size and pared-back approach. Its homemade menu aims to be both classic and effective. Clad in wood, the warm dining room offers an immersive culinary experience. Everything is made to order, with artisanal noodles and quality products. The place thus strikes a delicate balance of textures. True to its name, its black-shuttered facade bears no sign.

A Minimalist Restaurant

Black Market Ramen ; Broths and Flavours

The restaurant quickly won over a crowd of aficionados in search of new flavours. It specialises in ramen, a Japanese dish of Chinese origin made of noodles served in a broth. Meat, vegetables and other toppings usually accompany them. Based on miso, soy, pork, chicken or fish, the broth offers a great variety of flavours. A selection of quality beers and other drinks completes the menu. To finish, a black sesame ice cream gently rounds off the meal.

Ramen, Star of Japanese Cuisine

Ramen arrived in Japan from China at the end of the 19th century. It then became one of the most popular dishes in the country. Its springy noodles are served in a long-simmered broth. Shoyu, miso, shio or tonkotsu: each broth has its own character. Marinated egg, pork, seaweed and spring onions often complete the bowl. In Japan, every region and every stall defends its own recipe.

Black Market Ramen ; Classic and Effective

The restaurant takes no bookings and is often very busy. A little patience is therefore wise. For a birthday, the tiny terrace even welcomes diners despite the winter cold. The order is quickly taken, and the dishes arrive just as promptly.

Each ceramic bowl is brimming with artisanal noodles, toppings and a broth full of rich flavours. For drinks, a glass of white wine or a homemade iced tea accompanies the meal. The dish also turns out spicier than you might think. Topped with white chocolate flakes, the black sesame ice cream perfectly concludes the meal. A gourmet address to remember for a culinary journey. To continue the Japanese escape, Japan in Lausanne (in French) holds other great addresses.
