Vegan food in Nagoya!

Extremely grateful to find vegan food in Nagoya as it's hard to come by!

Owners were nice and the food was great.

A must if you're in the area.

Great food, great company!

We had the best time! It’s run by a husband and wife, and the food was SO good. Even simple things like the side salad were so tasty. We got the tofu chicken, the kebab sandwich, and the thali plate, and it was all fantastic.
We got chatting to the husband as he’s an ex-Aussie so that was lovely too!

Amazing food and super nice owners

We just had the most amazing dinner at VEGETIGER. We ended up talking to one of the owners for a long time and got to see their cats. The food was delicious and my wife who otherwise isn't a fan of curries really liked the curry. I can also truly reccomend the desserts. They both hit the spot for both of us.

Amazing food, amazing staff

From the street this place doesn’t look like it has much going for it but once you sit down and are greeted by the lovely staff (who spoke very good English if you are a Gaijin such as myself) you understand the real vibe of this place.

The menu is good, lots of options. The curry I had was amazing! Powerful flavours and a lovely aroma. The tofu chicken I also tasted was equally as good and served with their house chickpea mayo.

If you are in Nagoya and are vegan this place is a must to check out!

Pros: Everything

Best vegan dinner in Nagoya

Nagoya have really not enough vegan restaurant open in evening. This one is open till 10pm. And the food is delicious. The owners are adorable. Owned by a Japonese/Australian couple if I am not wrong. They have 10 seats only so if you are a large group it could be not possible. Try the chocolate cake, gluten free and delicious.

Pros: The kindness of owner, The Asian fusion food taste good , Friendly atmosphere

Cons: They deserve a bigger place

Dear Flash,
Thank you for the praise and the feedback and fabulous photography of our vegan cuisine. We are so glad you enjoyed your dinner and good guess about our nationalities! It was a pleasure to have you over for a vegan meal in Nagoya and we hope you have a safe trip.

By the way we have expansion plans to seat greater numbers and plan to complete the renovations by the end of the year!

Good food, friendly staff, nice interior

I had the bbq jackfruit sandwich and soup set as well as the matcha ice cream - all was very good. The staff were also very friendly. It’s a smaller shop with one large table and a smaller one indoors, some counter seats and some outdoor seating.

This restaurant is a gem!

We loved our dinner here. We are 1 vegetarian, 1 sometimes vegetarian with some food allergies and 2 non-vegetarians and everyone ate and ate and ate and loved every bite. We tried so many things on the menu and they were all declared winners. It was a great experience and a welcome break from struggling to find somewhere we all could eat together in Nagoya. We wish they were franchised and in other cities! Thank you, Toraya Vegetiger!

Pros: Not just vegan but DELICIOUS vegan, Hearty portions, Beyond reasonably priced

Cons: This isn’t in other cities!

Great vibe, IMMACULATE vegan meats

They make everything in house! The vegan meats, all the sauces (mayonnaise made of chickpea etc.). A small seemingly family run business and they have sparkling sake! The Thai curry plate is definitely special, and the wafu chicken is wild.

Pros: Home made vegan goodies!, Great service, Immaculate vibe in the restaurant!

Amazing food and service

We stopped at Vegetiger before catching a train, so we let them know we were in a bit of a hurry and asked them if they could recommend something quick to prepare and to eat, and they were super understanding and available. After a few minutes, we realized that we just had to leave and run, and we asked them if they could make our order to take away, and in a couple minutes they handed us our very tightly packed meals that endured a run under the rain without spilling. The food was delicious! We ordered a teriyaki jackfruit sandwich with lentil soup, salad and fries on the side, all very tasty and also practical to eat even on a train. Finally, the place was very cozy, even though we couldn’t enjoy it to the fullest. Thanks again and sorry for the rush!

Pros: Delicious vegan food, Cozy atmosphere, Wonderful service

The food was spectacular, the taste is so good even when the entire menu is vegan. The owner is very friendly and welcoming, he speaks english and japanese fluently. If you are in Nagoya, you have to eat from this place at least once.

Pros: Food, Staff, Cozy environment

Wow, just wow!

Ate here this evening after all the positive reviews. They have an extensive menu which has includes both rice dishes and sandwiches. They create everything by hand and have an emphasis on not using soy meat and processed plant meats.

I had the kebab sandwich set with the Mexican lentil soup and omg, it was just what we needed tonight.

The owner is so friendly and we had a lovely conversation with him as a fellow aussie. Highly recommend if you are near or far from the restaurant, the vibes are immaculate. It's a shame we are only in Nagoya for a couple of nights as we would love to come back if we got the chance!

Have eaten vegan throughout the world. THIS place, is one of the best!

Seriously, do yourself a favour, and try Vegetiger - you won’t be disappointed. We’ve been to so many vegan restaurants in many countries, and this is absolutely one of our TOP 5! The food is divine, and owners make it even better. They’re only a new restaurant and they’re a bit of a walk from the nearby subway, but it’s worth the investment in time. What they’ve done with some of the food (like their own deep fried soy and Thai curry) is next level and what you’d expect from high end restaurants. You’ll be surprised to find (like we were) that it’s just a wife and husband who’ve taken the plunge and created a 100% vegan restaurant and developed their own dishes and flavours. This place is amazing - we only found it on our last night in Nagoya, and have already changed our plans to eat here again tomorrow before we leave (that’s how good it is).
Please give them a try. You’ll be as impressed as we were.

Pros: Food!!!, Setting!!, OWNERS!!!

Fantastic

I had the Mexican Chilli Beans Sandwich with minced Tofu and Oatmeal. It was great, loved it. There was a choice of two soups. I took the mushroom soup, which I also loved! After that, I drank a hot soy milk cacao. Everything was wonderful and satiating. Will be back. Excited to have a new vegan place in Nagoya, especially now that it's not mainly a takeaway anymore.

Pros: Good location, Not too expensive, Good portion size

Great restaurant

The owner was really welcoming and explained everything on the dinner menu (he's Australian, so it was easy to communicate). I had the shredded jackfruit meal with lentil soup, which was delicious. The portion size was good, and the meal was relatively cheap. The place had a really good atmosphere, too. Highly recommended!

Pros: Friendly staff , Tasty food, Cheap

Pros: Flavour, All vegan options. , Homemade tofu is stunning.

Cons: Takeaway in plastic.

Great!

It's a small 100% vegan place focused on takeout as there is only one table with two chairs. It is somewhat helpful that a small park is just around a corner with some benches.

The food was great - tasty and the portion large enough. Overall, it was a good deal for the price (1500yen).

Pros: Completely vegan, Tasty

Cons: No tables for eating inside
