You have to trek up here if you're in Kyoto

The location isn't that great for tourists. You can subway and then cab it the rest of the way. They've got some vegan goods from the USA for sale, too near the register. Its near the university. The food is all outstanding, try everything!

Great setting, lovely food

I adored Cafe Peace from the start. The food is good and (relatively) cheap. I love the fact that they ask you what size rice you want (there's no extra charge, they just don't want any to go to waste) and that they use organic ingredients whenever possible. Highly recommended and easy to find. At the corner of Imadegawa and Higashioji, near Kyoto University.

Pros: Yummy, Inexpensive, Very Ethical

A vegetarian oasis!

Wonderful vegetarian restaurant with Japanese set meals and curries in a lovely little third floor space. After having struggled to find vegetarian food for several weeks in Japan I was thrilled to find Cafe Peace! Delicious food, soothing atmosphere. Located near Kyoto University.

Pros: delicious food, relaxing atmosphere, good value

Cons: need Cafe Peace in Tokyo!
