Morpho Cafe

After a long day of visiting some of the tourist attractions in Kyoto, my family and I had no idea what to eat for dinner. The only place open (that was also fairly cheap) was Morpho Cafe and I respect it for having so many reviews and keeping its amount of stars that it currently has at this time.

We visited a temple that was exactly 2.61 miles away from this restaurant, but it was definitely worth it. Despite the long walk and bus ride (measured by the complains of my mother) everything was delicious and my dad even likened his spaghetti to the one he bought at a supermarket (which was pretty good!). This just goes to show that "even vegan food" can taste so good!

If the sign in front of the restaurant didn't say it was vegan and the choices on the menu didn't say "vegan blah blah", I'm pretty sure any omnivore would think it's just a regular old restaurant :)

i was beside myself with how amazing and unique this vegan ramen was. I have no idea what the broth base was, but it was so F-ing good! going back fo'sho!

I came here to have some lunch as my hotel is nearby and I tried the vegan fish burger and it was fab! All the flavors and the presentations was great.
I tried the strowberry tart also that was ok but not great.
I will come back at dinner to try the ramen that they only do dinner time.

After hearing great things about Morpho and wanting to go for a long time, we finally made it! We tried the veggie burger, fish burger, and potato/cheese pizza, as well as an extra side salad. I was really impressed that it achieved a bit of a "junk food" vegan feel without being too oily or salty - actually everything was really fresh and flavourful. We left feeling great! I'd love to go back to try more of the menu; definitely recommend.

Cool little place with a Pueblo type decor theme. good food and friendly staff. would definitely go again

The food here is wonderful. The staff are also very friendly, and great at recommending dishes if you're not sure what to have. In our group, we tried varieties of noodle dishes and dinner sets, and all of us were happy with our choices. The chocolate cake is out of this world!

Very cosy and soft atmosphere, i ate a noodle soup which was one of the best meals I've had. Great food, the staff had good English and good service! Absolutely a place whorty a visit while in Kyoto!

Burgers, salad and curry were really tasty. Nice ambience too.

First of all the waiter was super friendly and helpful, one of the most friendliest we met in all of Kyoto. We tried the ramen and fish burger, the ramen was creamy, reminiscent of thai style, while the fish burger was amazingly delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone, they had a great variety of food too.

It's not very often that a restaurant with such a varying menu (fish burgers to ramen to ice cream parfaits) is so consistently tasty- but this one is.

They also have some yummy take away cookies and such!

Definitely in my top 5 restaurants in Japan.

Burger was exquisite-- nearly ordered one to go! Definitely a must if you're in the Kyoto area

This is another exceptional restaurant that we have visited on our kyoto trip. It's easy to travel by bus after a visit from nijo castle. Just a few bus stops away. Their food is purely vegan and their vegan pizza is AMAZING. Vegans must definitely make a trip down because its def worth that little detour!

Make a trip here because it's worth it. I knew it was going to be good, seeing the posts on instagrams by my fellow vegans in Japan. We wanted to try 4 dishes but could only fit in three between us. We had the cutlet dish, the vegan dish, and the burger. Each were a delight to eat and were affordable. The cafe is cosy, the staff is friendly, and their parfait is delicious and cute too. Go go go!

Hands down one of the best ones I ate in the world. The fish cutlet is great and the deserts are great as well. Definitely worth a visit

Got my only vegan ramen here. It was pretty delicious. Was there with omnivores and they told me it was also the best ramen they got.

On our trip to Japan we stayed 4 days in Kyoto, where the Morpho Café is a real vegan Highlight!
We tried a mixed macrobiotic plate which offered a great variety of Japanese tastes. The Ramen soup was incredibly tasty and also unusually filling for Japanese habit.
I liked the relaxing atmosphere combined with a generous menu; not this one Burger and one Curry-Stuff, that is quite common in vegan catering. And last but not least, it's not expensive at all!!!

I had the red curry and it was divine. One of the best I've had. The ambiance here is nice and the food hits the spot. very nice staff too!

Best vegan pizza ever had! Total vegan restaurant, so everything on the menu is vegan and tasts delicious! Even the chocolatcake. If I had more time I would eaten there every day! The restaurant looks nice and tight, good decoration, very cosy.
