chill restaurant with a variety of options - Edit
I really liked that I didn't have to queue for this restaurant. It was a bit odd to walk through the closed chocolateria to get there but signage is clear, and when I arrived the restaurant was nearly empty around 7pm but started to fill up with time. The menu has a variety of options, mostly burgers, pizza, or rice bowls. Mostly vegetarian (some fish on offer) and gluten free is available as well. Some slightly odd food combinations (hummus and curry on an Indian themed pizza???) but there were classics available too.
Read moreI have eaten a lot of vegan junk food in Europe/the US and I didn't feel this really lived up to those standards in terms of flavour or texture (the "meat" in the burger fell apart almost immediately). However it scratched an itch while in Japan and was a pleasant place to hang out for the evening.

Excellent quality and service - Edit
Everything I've tried has been delicious but I especially liked the vegan "fish" burger. They have happy hour from 5-6:30pm with organic wines, beer, and cocktails. It has a lovely atmosphere and friendly service. I go every time I'm in Kyoto!

Best food in Kyoto - Edit
If I could I would give this place 5 stars. Every meals can be ordered as vegan or is already by default. I ate 4 different meals and they were all delicious, especially the barbarian plate. It was advertised that the taste of it will be remembered and it did

Nice food - Edit
Had a very good soy meat burger that seemed to be handmade with nuts and dates in the ingredients so not the typical vegan burger. Came with side of fries and some hummus and greens for a nice meal. Many vegan and nonvegan options.

Some of the best vegan food I’ve had in Japan! - Edit
It’s been a struggle finding delicious vegan food, this restaurant absolutely nailed it! The Japanese burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The pizza was a bit dry, but still absolutely delicious. Will absolutely be coming back

Great vegan options! - Edit
We had the burger and dessert set. I got the Golden Gym (kimchi, Korean bbq sauce) and my partner got the Indian. Both were great! The QR code makes it easy to order & know you’re getting vegan options - bun, cheese and patty. They give you an appetiser tray to start - curry hummus, Japanese pickle, a fruit drink shot and salad. The burgers come with a few fries, but the cheesecake we got was fantastic!! Strawberry sauce and whipped cream with a cinnamon granola. It was thick and rich with a light crust - best vegan cheesecake I’ve ever had.

Great vegan pizza and burger - Edit
We tried the vegan margherita with vegan cheese and it was really good, we also tried a korean style burger which had a surprising taste and was great. The place is nice and not too expensive.

Worth a return visit - Edit
We ate here twice while in Kyoto. The menu is primarily vegan but they are willing to add other ingredients if you’re determinedly omnivorous. I thought that was a refreshing reversal of the usual situation at restaurants. The food was good - you order via QR code and app. Access is via steep stairs, which means not everyone will be able to get in.
Read morePros: Food, Easy to order
Cons: Limited access (steep stairs)

Excellent restaurant on the second floor - Edit
The vegan burgers were excellent, and the vegan cheesecake and chocolate cake were also very good. For one of us, the vegan burger was almost too realistic. For another of us they were the best he has ever had. And as a bonus, on the ground floor underneath the restaurant is a chocolate shop! When we visited, there was no pizza on the menu.

wanted pizza - Edit
i originally came here without checking they have a menu for lunch (until 3pm) then close, and have a menu for dinner (from 5pm) i was a little disappointed because i didn’t wanted to eat a hamburger and the other options didn’t excite me as much, i was so wrong, the burger is so so so nice, i would def come back, i ordered the pinapple avo one in my opinion one of the best i’ve tried, fealt really homemade and all flavors merged very well.

the place is;
🌱easy to find
🌱not as expensive as other places (¥2250) ~burger and dessert~
🌱 staff is kind and helpful (i asked for pizza and later on they offered me frozen take out, i had to keep traveling so i had to say no)
🌱only waited 10 min and the place was full when i arrived
🌱accepts card
🌱they close 3PM so you kinda have to hurry to have at least one hour to eat

Very pleasantly surprised with the vegan margarita pizza and abundance of vegan options. The pizza was 10/10! Fries were a bit too oily for my liking, but still tasty.

*Make sure to walk on up to the second floor as the chocolate cafe closes early.*
Read moreHad dinner one day (2 pizzas and cheesecake) and lunch the next (2 burgers). Enjoyed everything although the wait for dinner did take a while so not good if you're in a rush. Favourite would be the Korean pizza however pizzas are only available at dinner time.

Not great - Edit
Staff friendly on contact. Nice to bring us icy water as were both melting in the heat.
Read moreWe had a burger apiece, sadhu burger had little punch, fell apart, really soggy. Appalling to see the menu offering 100 per cent beef patty replacement if you want, while definitely posing as a vegan cafe, how disgusting. Really sad and disappointed.
Dessert was good, cheesecake.
Never again for the duplicity.

Burger wasn’t great - Edit
Had the regular soy burger. It’s not constructed very well - the patty fell apart, there were so many sauces that everything was dripping, and the bun became soggy. The taste was fine, but after a few bites it became too soggy. Everything else on the menu looks good, I saw people around me eating other things that looked better. But I saw so many recommendations of the burger so I thought it was a safe option, but it really wasn’t.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Portion sizes are good
Cons: Burger was soggy and fell apart

Amazing burgers - Edit
This is a pretty cool place. Nice, natural decor. Every menu item is vegan by default, but they add at the bottom, that the vegan cheese and patty can be changed to non-vegan cheese and beef patty. I think for now this is the way forward. Whenever I take my friends to a place like this, they opt for vegan 9/10 times. Hubby did the same.
Read moreNow, the food… I tried a Korean style burger with kimchi on it. Perfect flavour balance, crunchy and just pure junk food heaven. Nice size burger, the garlic ships were crispy and getting hummus instead of tomato sauce is just perfect. The hummus was a curry hummus by the way, great idea!
Hubby tried the Japanese Businessman, which is a more traditional burger with the regular toppings.
The portion was big enough, it filled me up after a whole day of sightseeing.
