Hidden gem - Edit
Ramuna cafe is very close to Nara park where I visited a massive Buddha, and went running with deer (they are very friendly being treated as sacred city mascots)
Read moreThe lady (owner?) of Ramuna is wonderful, patient, and cooks wonderful food. Eating the dinner she provided was like reading a refreshing of complex story for the pallet. I believe she was on her own that day, and had a large number of guests to attend but handled it all without even expressing a moment of pressure.

Delicious food and lovely quiet atmosphere - Edit
This lovely cafe is situated on a quiet side street near Nara Park, it's a perfect place to go for food to get away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets. Food was absolutely amazing, myself and my husband both agree it's one of the best meals we have had since being in Japan. The host was friendly and her cooking was amazing. We will definitely return the next time we come to Japan.

Tiny cafe serving yummy Japanese bento and set lunch. Also sells some vegan snacks and goods. The food was delicious and about 800-1000 yen per plate.

Sweet vegan cafe near Nara Park - Edit
Read more in this vegan Nara guide: https://itravelforveganfood.com/vegan-nara-guide/
Read moreJust tucked away in a small street south of Nara Park, Vegan cafe Ramuna is a cafe to get away from the busy park and have a nice meal.
The cafe has traditional decor. There are seats both inside and outside. The owner lady is very sweet and welcoming. Also, it seems like the owner is a cat lover as there are many cat paintings in the shop (but no real cats though).
You can find assorted plates, bento set, and even western dishes like pizza and hot dogs here. The pizza has vegan cheese on top and is freshly baked. Although the taste is not particularly impressive, the price is very reasonable.
Another dish I tried is the matcha ice cream. It has some rice cereal and a spoon-shaped biscuit on top. It would be even better if it’s less icy.
Overall enjoyed this sweet little cafe. Be sure to check out their shop section to get some Japanese snacks to bring home.
Pros: All vegan, Affordable prices, Sweet and welcoming owner
Cons: Hazelnut milk is very watery

Bentobox - Edit
Everything in my takeaway bentobox was very delicious, especially the deep fried soy meat stuff. (Way better then the last one I had.) I got japanese sweet patatoe salad, a tomato and some cucumbers instead of the miso soup. Might have been a bit too much rice for me, personally.
Read morePros: Delicious food, all vegan, quite a view organic things
Cons: You can smell there's a cat around.

I would definitely recommend to go there.

Cute and tasty - Edit
Absolutely cute little café. We were the only customers by the time and the owner was a cute Japanese lady who was both a waitress and I think also the chef. We sat outside at a very pretty table and got free mandarine jelly. The vegan burgers were super tasty, but I recommend getting the set since they are a bit small on their own.
Read moreOverall very affordable meal, great atmosphere. There was even a little shop inside as well, selling vegan snacks as well as shirts and pottery. Would definitely recommend!
Pros: Cheap , Super tasty, Cute

Worth seeking out! - Edit
This little cafe is a real treasure, we were in Nara park looking for somewhere to have lunch and this popped up on Happy Cow.
Read moreThe previous reviews sold it to us and we were not disappointed. The owner is lovely and helpful and you can tell a lot of effort goes in to make the food look as delicious as it tastes.
I can't recommend this cafe highly enough!
Pros: Lots of vegan options including bento, Japanese, style mezze and hamburgers. Dessert and a great , drinks selection, too.
Cons: None!

Really delicious, homemade and mostly organic - Edit
Well worth seeking out this one-woman-show vegan restaurant. Located back from the main thoroughfare, not far from the entrance to Nara park.
Read moreThe food is delicious, homemade and mostly organic. The woman who runs the place is a gentle and endearing character. The tastes on offer are as good as any vegan eatery in Japan. The apple juice is excellent.

Hands down the probably best cafe I know!! The owner, older lady (vegan for 20 years!), is friendly, the dishes diverse, incl. home made cakes, the burger was very nice, the menu book pretty, has English and it's easy to understand, the interior very pretty, romantic location too. Bonus: Cat pictures and figures^^

Tucked away café - Edit
Cute little cafe, kind of hard to find as it’s tucked away behind a larger building next to the park. Just follow the alley to the little garden-looking cottage, where it’s well sign-posted. Very cozy inside, with freshly baked cakes. Was quiet when we went, we were the only ones there. The vegan hot dog and vegan burger were both delicious and cheap (about 400 yen each).

Favorite in Nara - Edit
We tried most vegan spots in Nara and this was my favorite, especially for the kindness of the owner (most sweet and gentle owner ever), delicious dishes and desserts, good quality ingredients and fair price for Japan. We came back several times and would come back more if in Nara again, highly recommended
