Easy tasty chill - Edit
Sometimes in Japan you just need a break, something easy. This is that. Varied menu, several interesting things (BLACK charcoal-crust pizza), some home-made vegan cheese (try them both!), extremely fresh salad (on the day I went). Whew. Thank you.

Better food elsewhere - Edit
Oof, this was our worst meal of our trip. Totally beyond their control, they were sold out of many, many things on the menu by the time we arrived at 1900hr. What we were able to order (quiche, onion soup and stroganoff) was not great. The quiche was the best item - flavorful, nice texture! The onion soup was watery and lacked any real flavor. The stroganoff was not good and I could not shake how much it tasted like ketchup.
Read moreAlso, when we ordered dessert, we were told they were sold out of chocolate cake, nbd, we ordered something else. We waited for 12 minutes and another person came and told us it was also sold out. So, that just ended on a low note.
Pros: All vegan! , Cool atmosphere
Cons: Bad food

Delicious gluten free pizza! - Edit
Both the gluten free pizzas were delicious, with a crispy base and a fresh tomato sauce. You practically can’t tell they are gluten free! The only downside is that the portion size is very small for the price.

Cheese was good - Edit
Recommend the cheese platter, if you get it ask for more crackers though. The mains were the mains were ok not the best but still yummy enough to eat all of. We had the burger and the egg ok rice which was weird but surprisingly good even with the tomato sauce, who would have thought

All vegan, all gluten free! Recommend. Nice atmosphere, delicious food! - Edit
Been to CHOICE several times. I recommend! Vegan&gluten free! All menus are gluten free! So people with an acute allergy to gluten can come without fear.
Read moreThe facility is nice, clean, cozy atmosphere.
The food and desserts are delicious! OMU-RAISU was awesome.
You can also buy vegan elite cheeses, vegan dog food and Vibram shoes there.
I love Vibram! This is not my first pair of these shoes. It's good that the right size for me was in stock.
I will definitely come again!

Egg Sandwich FTW - Edit
Delicious, clean, gluten-free breakfast at this quaint restaurant. Got the vegan “Egg Sandwich Set” which came with a salad and beverage of your choice (I got an iced soy latte). Would definitely return.

Not good😒 - Edit
After reading all the reviews we were so excited to try choice. Either everyone else is lying or genuinely have never had good vegan food in their life. We got the stroganoff with rice and a mozzarella pasta. Both were atrocious and we only ate a bite. The cheese board was the only saving grace, even with only 5 crackers. Check my reviews for good vegan food in kyoto, don’t waste your time going here..

Taste is subjective my friend.

Hi Julialamour I am a regular customer at CHOICE and I am saddened by your use of the word "atrocious" to descrbe my favorite place. CHOICE's food is delicious and subscribes to the very healthy "plant-based whole foods" principles and use minimum oil and salt. Maybe it was too subtle for you? I think it is also sad that you chose to insult over 200 people who have given CHOICE good reviews by saying "they are either lying or have never had good vegan food". Like the other guy says, taste is subjective and you can't attack the place or the people who wrote good reviews before you just because you didn't like it. Just imagine how you would feel if someone else attacked your favorite restaurant and your reviews.

Yum! - Edit
English 👇 『Choice』は、京都の三条駅から歩いてすぐのところにあるオールヴィーガンレストランです😄
Read more以前、美味しいヴィーガンチーズを食べたことがあったので、他の料理も食べてみようと思っていました😍
店内は広くておしゃれで、お値段もそれなりにします。私たちはチーズの盛り合わせを注文し、私はチーズバーガー、竜二はサラダそばを注文しました🤤
前菜として頂いたチーズの盛り合わせも美味しく、楽しく食べることができましたが、私にとっての本当の主役はチーズバーガーでした。グルテンフリーのバンズも、今まで食べてきたバンズとは違っていて、予想外に美味しかったです。また注文したいです。竜二はサラダそばがとても気に入ったようです😙
ちょっと高いけど、とても楽しい食事でした。京都に行った際は是非お試しください‼️
Choice is an all-vegan restaurant located a short walk from Sanjo station in Kyoto. We had tried their delicious vegan cheeses before, and were ready to sample some of their other dishes!
The restaurant is spacious and fancy-looking, with fancy prices to match. We ordered the cheese platter to share, along with a cheeseburger for me and salad soba for Ryuji.
The cheese platter was delicious and fun to eat, but the real star for me was the cheeseburger. The gluten-free bun, while not being like any other bun I’ve had, was surprisingly good too. I’d happily order this again. Ryuji really liked his salad soba too.
All in all, though it was a little expensive, we really enjoyed our meal here. Check it out when you’re in Kyoto.

Delicious vegan cheese! - Edit
Very laid-back atmosphere, beautiful interior, super friendly and attentive service and very delicious organic vegan food. Don't miss out on trying their home made vegan cheese! They are also one of the few vegan places in Kyoto to open early and have a breakfast menu as well, so this is a great spot to start the day.

Great cheese but expensive - Edit
Choice has some great vegan cheeses! Really nice to get the sampler platter. The ambiance was also quite nice and the staff was friendly. The only downsides were the price, which is a little prohibitive, the portion sizes were on the small side, and the cheese sandwich was lackluster. In the future I might suggest this place as a pre dinner stop to try some cheese before going somewhere else for the main course.
Read morePros: great homemade cheeses
Cons: cheese sandwich left much to be desired

Real vegan nut cheese - Edit
After several disappointments in Kyoto (cancelations mostly) this restaurant made my day. I think this is second time I find a restaurant that offers real vegan nut cheese, the other was in Bangkok. Not only that, the cheese was delicious and prepared beautifully. Restaurant was also moderately spacious and the staff super friendly. Wish them big success in the business.

Take out cakes amazing! - Edit
Some of the best vegan cakes I've had! You can get the cakes frozen so that you can transport them home, or you can ask for them ready to eat. Take about 2hrs to defrost. Such incredible flavours and not too sweet. Just right in every way!

Pros: All vegan!!!!!
Cons: Nothing!
