Great fresh food!

Really enjoyed my dinner at Cafe Japonais. I was in a group with mixed dietary requirements so this place was great to accommodate all. I highly recommend a visit!

YUM!

Had been craving japanese and this hit the spot! Service was slow to begin with but then they upgraded our table and were very friendly. Loved the katsu curry and the nigiri triangle. Tried a lot of the menu and would recommend the katsu curry or ramen!

Delicious sushi and tofu

We weren’t very hungry so got cucumber maki, avocado maki and tofu to share. Tofu in particular was great (and my friend often isn’t super keen on it but even she agreed!)

Vegan options marked on the menu

It has a vegan curry, makis, miso soup and udon soup as well as edamame and wakame salads and one dessert. It's nothing amazing but it's fresh and healthy food, the place is nice and the staff is friendly.

Was ok

Menu clearly marked. Unfortunately they didnt have the agedashi tofu, so we just got curry and edamame. It was ok, but not mindblowing. Just some food to fill your tummy and low on protein.

Un japonés bueno

Tienen unos cuantos platos veganos para elegir. Probamos el edamame, el arroz, los makis, la sopa de miso y el tofu. Éstos dos últimos lo mejor, junto con el postre (solo hay uno vegano). Los platos están buenos pero sin mucho alarde. Eso sí, te tratan bien y el precio es razonable.

Un buen sitio para probar.

J'ai pas trop aimé

Les udons n'étaient pas très bon, il y avait trop d'algues et pratiquement pas de légumes. Les makis sont classiques comme ailleurs. J'aurais peut être du prendre le curry !

Options véganes autre que les makis

Leur makis vegan sont très classiques (avocat, concombre), par contre ils ont quelques options comme des tempuras de légumes et un curry japonais qui est excellent !
Les serveurs sont toujours gentil et le cadre intérieur est plutôt agréable.
Toutes les options véganes sont bien notées sur la carte.

Pros: Curry japonais !, Options mises en évidence

Labelled choices

Clearly labelled choices in their menu, even though some have been discontinued, and none are very original since you can find them in all Japanese restaurants.

Pros: Clearly vegan-labelled choices

Cons: Not really original

Pleasant

Apparently this is the only one vegan option in Bordeaux after 4 pm. I was travelling through the city and this place was such a salvation. All other vegan restaurants were closed. But it was such a good surprise. I had a vegan tempura, rice and broth. They were delicious. I would not mind to come back

Vegan (good) Japanese food !

When you love Japanese food, it’s usually very difficult to find a restaurant that serves vegan options. Especially because of the broth which is in pretty much every dish and includes fish… Here, this broth (dashi) is plant-based.
So I was delighted to find this cute place in Bordeaux that has many vegan options of real good dishes (udon, maki, tempura, curry…) not just sides. I enjoyed it very much the first time and I keep coming back! #Veganuary

Pros: Many good vegan options

Nice japanese vegan options

I tried a few of their clearly labelled vegan options. Everything was very good, especially the vegetables tempura.
I also had two daifuku mochi as a dessert, so chewy and delicious.

Good for Bordeaux

I found finding vegan food for me during a recent trip to Bordeaux very difficult, particularly as I was with a non-vegan who didn't want to eat in exclusively vegan restaurants, so was very happy to find this place which serves both meat and vegan options. Vegan options very clearly labelled which gives peace of mind and tasty enough, but expensive given the vegan vegetable curry was the same as my partner's minus the meat (so just vegetables). I would have liked some breaded tofu, or even a pumpkin croquette as I've had in other Japanese places or even more range of veggies. That said I am English and used to great options and this place is definitely somewhere for vegans struggling to find options in Bordeaux!

Pros: Vegan options, Clearly labelled, Good for Bordeaux

Cons: Not inventive vegan options

Quelle déception

Je suis allée dans ce restaurant avec 2 amis, dont un qui est végétarien. Il n’y a que 4 plat vegan et 1 était en rupture de stock. Nous avons été très déçus de la qualité des plats et de l’accueil qui n’était pas du tout chaleureux. Nous n’y retournerons pas.

Cons: Cher, Peu d’option vegan

Cute and delicious Japanese place

One of the only places open in Bordeaux on Sunday night, and a great place which serves quickly delicious vegan options.
