Bye bye Gu Gu, best vegan in the city

Note: announced via the instagram page for Gu Gu, the restaurant will be closing around the end of January. See post here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CmEN1l9vNuD/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

As a farewell review, Gu Gu in my mind is the best vegan food in the city and will be sorely missed. The specials are always great. While some of the mainstay items are just average, like the curries, the staff at Gu Gu really have an amazing sense for how to balance flavors in their specials and their seasonal inclusions have always been amazing.

Pros: Great variety, Delicious, whole foods, Creative pairings and full portions

Cons: Literally none

Love this place

The burger I had was really delicious. It looked a bit small but in the end it was filling enough, think the rice bun is quite heavy and the contents, too, are filling and not as difficult to eat as I thought at first, since there was not the kind of sauce that drips out when you squeeze it together it was okay. I also ate the strawberry crumble cake that was also very tasty.

Pros: Good food, Great selection, Not too far from the subway station

Cons: It's a little bit small and tight inside

Incredible!

We had tried stopping by Vegi Kitchen Gu Gu before, but it was full, and I completely understand why. The food was truly amazing. I had the lunch set and for dessert a rich chocolate nut parfait. Everything was really excellent! We also took some delicious pastries to go that we enjoyed later.

Lovely atmosphere and great taste!

I would recommend making a reservation beforehand, if you don't want to wait for your seat. We went there on a weekday - lunch time was busy but in the afternoon it was just us. Ordered the dish of the day and some cake. Everything was delicious and the staff was very nice and welcoming!

(Probably) the best vegan restaurant in Nagoya

Nagoya is not the best destination for vegans but this place is your safe bet. It’s all vegan, they have a wide selection of Japanese and Western style dishes made vegan. Desserts are incredible too.

Pros: All vegan, Very reasonable prices, Delicious desserts

Cons: Closed on Thursdays, A little far from downtown (but easy access)

Incredible desserts

Thank you for a stupendous dining experience! Delicious flavors and original pastries. This is the place to come for creative, flavorful bowls/curries. My parfait was a tour de force! The burgers are a bit too small to be a proper entree, so my suggestion would be to make a slider plate instead with extra potato fries. Worth a visit!

Pros: Generous meal hours, Amazing sweets

Cons: No parking available, Burgers need improvement

Large menu with many different options

Great restaurant about 13 minutes walking from Motoyama station. Has both counter seats and table/booth seating. Waiting staff was friendly. Menu is in both English and Japanese. Food portions were a tad small but overall very satisfying. I had the katsu burger set and a pistachio tart. Both were delicious. Will be back for sure.

My new go-to in Nagoya

None of the typically bland vegan food served in many establishments. Lots of flavour and a comfortable interior. Reasonable prices and the sweets...oh, the sweets. I’d thought becoming vegan meant many fewer options in the dessert department, but this place has proven me wrong. Delicious.

Cute & Delicious

Not too far from Motoyama station and everything was excellent. Had the daily lunch plate (bibimbap, karaage and salad) and the fig tart plus spiced hot chocolate.

Very cute restaurant with a nice atmosphere. They also have cocktails and vegan wine so I'd like to come back in the evening.

Pros: All vegan, Fresh and delicious

Cute cafe

Nice cafe with a lot of options. I had the curry with fake soy meat, which was delicious, but quite small for the price. The brownie was perfect though!

Cute design not really tasty.

Cake was alright.
Fried soy meat wasn’t good and pricey I ate at other store and it was super delicious.
I excited to order but disappointed.
Curry is just a no taste spicy something it’s not curry.
Everything something missing kind of the taste.

Pros: All vegan.

Cons: Need to walk from station and pretty far., No tasty food., Expensive for the quality.

Recommended.

This is a nice little restaurant a out 5 minutes walk from Motoyama station. They are open for lunch and dinner, and also do take-out lunch boxes. They have a good menu with appetizers, mains, desserts and drinks. Good for sharing food, a dinner party, and for a quick solo lunch.
Pay a visit to this warm and friendly restaurant, with great food and a fine atmosphere.

Updated from previous review on 2019-12-05

Pros: All vegan. ~9pm. 16-min subway ride from Nagoya, Only a five -minute walk from Motoyama station., All non-smoking. Has counter seats and tables.

Best all vegan restaurant in Nagoya

This has become a weekly spot for us. The dishes are well thought out and you can tell the chef really cares. I would recommend the curry or sampler plate. The menu is different at lunch, so it is good to try lunch and dinner.

Favorite restaurant in Nagoya

At this point, we have tried almost every single entree here, along with many of the desserts. Everything is always extremely delicious and flavorful. The atmosphere of the restaurant itself is very calm and inviting. You have to come here.

Pros: Many options for entrees and dessert , Gluten free

Best chocolate cake

All gluten free and delicious. Many good desserts but the chocolate cake stands out. Sandwiches are great to take away. Open on Mondays which is rare in Nagoya! Located on Nekogahora street and has some cats in the decor to match.

Cute, pleasant little restaurant

Cute little restaurant that has quite a nice variety of meals. They have a lunch menu from 11:00-14:30. I had the Curry lunch, which comes with a choice of 3 Spice Levels, topped with soy nuggets, and a side of salad. This is an Indian style curry, not a Japanese style curry. When I went it was packed, especially since it's a small restaurant, we had to wait a little while for a table. If you can, I'd recommend reserving ahead of time. The staff were friendly too. Overall, a very pleasant experience, and I would recommend if you're in the area.

Pros: All vegan and gluten free

Cons: Small place, had to wait for a table.

cute cafe style

I loved this place. I had “vegan soupless hot noodle” which is rice noodles with beansprouts, nori, shallots, soy meat, etc. It was really delicious but not too spicy - you can pick from 1-6 spiciness and I went 3 but would definitely go 6 next time. Also had a ice coffee with soy ice cream floater and that was delicious too. I saw some others with an amazing huge strawberry parfait desert which I definitely would’ve ordered if I’d had someone there to share it with. I also got a takeaway lasagne for the next day, with a pinch of salt it would’ve been perfect and it came with really nice Japanese style bread. The owner was very friendly and the menu has English translations. Great place, I’d definitely go back when in Nagoya.

Delicious and comfortable place

The food was amazing and also the cakes. There are many vegan options, but I'm not sure if they have English menu and if they can speak English.

Wow this place is great!

Wow this place is great! It just opened and everything is vegan and they have a wide selection. The special when I went was maze soba; never thought I'd see a vegan version of that classic decidedly non-vegan Nagoya specialty in a restaurant! And it was really good!

The set lunch was also very good, lots of interesting flavors and variety. Kids meals were also affordable.

Anddd the parfait for dessert was awesome!!! They also appear to offer craft beer but I was driving so didn't check it out.

Everything on the menu is in English and Japanese so very convenient if you don't speak Japanese.

I love this place and will be back again soon and often!

Pros: All vegan, Affordable, Great food

Cons: None

Amazint

Took some non-veg locals and their kids and we all loved it! The lasagna is to die for especially with the toast. I loved the red smoothie as well and also the curry and cake! Definitely check it out if you're in Nagoya!
