About ፊደል - Fidel Ethiopian Restaurant Antwerp ethiopian catering service

Welcome to FIDEL – ፊደል Ethiopian Restaurant, where tradition, taste, and togetherness come alive in the heart of Antwerp.

At FIDEL, we bring the rich culinary heritage of Ethiopia to Belgium, offering an authentic dining experience that feels just like home. Our name “ፊደል (Fidel)” comes from the ancient Ge'ez script – the written language of Ethiopia – symbolizing our deep respect for history, identity, and culture.

From our kitchen to your table, every dish is prepared with love, using traditional spices and cooking methods passed down through generations. Whether you're savoring injera with spicy doro wat, enjoying the vibrant colors of our vegetarian platters, or sipping on freshly brewed Ethiopian coffee, you’ll discover the soul of Ethiopia in every bite.

Dining at FIDEL is more than just enjoying great food – it’s about connection. We believe in the Ethiopian tradition of “gursha” – sharing food by hand as a sign of friendship and love. Our warm, family-friendly atmosphere invites you to relax, connect, and explore Ethiopia's rich hospitality.

We are proud to be located in the heart of Antwerp, a city known for its diversity and openness. Just like the city itself, FIDEL is a meeting place of cultures, stories, and shared experiences. Whether you're a long-time lover of Ethiopian cuisine or trying it for the first time – you’re always welcome here.

At FIDEL, every guest becomes family. Come for the food, stay for the community, and leave with a full heart (and stomach!).
