Review: The food was really good and very healthy. Really fresh ingredients. We spoke no Japanese but could order our food fine. In has a good atmosphere. I had my first vegan cheese cake and it was delicious!
My only complaint was that some of the dishes had run out so the choices was not as large as I would have wished.
To find the place we went along a small river which had cherry blossom trees along it with red laterns hanging from them - which looked really good.
Pros: Great food * Healthy cuisine *
Cons: Ran out of food * * |

Review: Cafe Eight is not as conveniently located as its sister location, Pure Cafe, but way tastier, and has a bigger menu. It's more of a restaurant than Pure as well. We visited back in April 2008, but can't wait to get back to Tokyo to try it again.
To start, we had deep fried tempeh with avocado that was absolutely fantastic, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it! We shared some roasted veggies and a natto bowl as well. And another starter than I can't remember, but I'm sure it was good. All together with the bottle of organic Greek wine and a beer, it came to 9.000, so definitely the most expensive place we went to in Tokyo, but well worth it. We also had a chocolate tart there that was really nice, and the spicy carrot cake. Chocolate tarts seem to be a standard in Tokyo vegan establishments (we had three during our 4-day trip), but I can't complain.
This is a good place to go on a date or if you're just looking for some awesome vegan food. It was kind of hard to find, but this is one of my top veg restaurants in the world, so keep looking!
Pros: amazing food * friendly staff * nice atmosphere
Cons: a bit expensive * hard to find * |

Review: Went there for lunch but got there 3 minutes after the lunch orders finished. Do not rely on the map and don't expect to see a sign until you're 5 metres away.
Staff were not so friendly. Don't think I saw anyone smile there.
The curry was the standard curry you can buy at many vegetarian restaurants - even though I was told it was 'original'.
I had looked forward to visiting this new cafe eight, hopefully a night-time visit will be better.
Pros: nice interior * vegan *
Cons: unfriendly * so-so menu during the day * small portions |

Review: This is one of my favorite restaurants in Tokyo, vegan/veggie or not, though it's a bit out of the way for most. No matter who I bring here (vegetarian or not... usually the latter), everyone loves every dish. The service can be less than friendly at times, but I find it worth the satisfying dishes. All the desserts are great too!
Pros: great food * non-smoking * relaxed atmosphere
Cons: out of the way * unfriendly at times * |

Review: They had the BEST sandwich I'd ever had on top of tons of options an English menu and good service. Don't trust the map on their web site though, this place is hard to find but doable if you ask the locals.
Pros: Good food * good price *
Cons: Hard to find * Bad Map * |
