Great food and friendly service - Edit
On our trip to Osaka, we found ourselves staying very close to Kujo station and so decided we had to have dinner here. It was a wonderful experience all around: as the menu was in Japanese only, we arranged with our host for a set course mea.l. Cue successive dishes of salads, pickles, and hot dishes, all of which proved delicious. The red wine also went well with the food, and the space itself was cosy, with lots of wood and comfortable armchairs. Very highly recommended.
Read moreAnd just a quick note in response to a review above, which talked about the red light district. As I mentioned, we were staying in the area, and our street also featured several storefronts which may well have been involved in the sex trade. However, this in no way felt threatening even when I was on my own, throughout our stay of several days - and for what its's worth, I mention this as a single woman. (Also for what it's worth, we saw a couple with a stroller on our evening walk to the restaurant.) It's also quite conveniently located on the Chuo line.
Pros: excellent food, personal service, good space
Cons: menu in Japanese only

Lovely atmosphere, great food - Edit
Great atmosphere in this jazz café. The lady that served us (owner?) Was adorable, and the food was prepared quickly. I had herb salad with soy meat chicken, and a glass of shochu. I would recommend anything on the menu, although it's worth noting that we arrived at around 9pm on a Friday and the place was empty. No big deal, just thought I'd mention in case a busy atmosphere is your thing.

Relaxing retro style - Edit
Google maps sent us in the wrong direction but once we found the place it was lovely to sit amongst the retro styling and relax. The food was freshly prepared and delicious, the music was groovy 70s-style jazz and it was nice to chill after a big day of sightseeing.

Long waits for your food - Edit
A 10 minute walk from Kujo Station near Osaka Dome.
Read moreA cute cafe on the third floor that doubles as a jazz bar with live performances periodically (4000yen). Open until midnight, so one of the few vegetarian options late at night.
The side salad was wonderful and would probably be what I order as a main dish if I am ever in this area again. The veggie burger was passable considering the dinner set was only 1000yen.
What might prevent me from returning again is the terribly slow service. A meal that typically takes me five minutes to prepare at home required a 45 minute wait. The next table had an equally odd experience, considering the place was mostly empty. The suspicious part of me wonders if it was so we would order more drinks.
A bit of warning for women traveling alone is that you walk through a major red light district from the subway. There is no attempt to conceal what services are being offered as women are prominently displayed behind the open doors in their "uniforms"
Pros: cute layout, late hours, fair prices
Cons: remote area, slow service

Bit far from the station, you might want to get a cab and tell the driver the address.
