    It's a restaurant with lots of vegan options. We chose actual mozzarella on top of the pizza as we don't like vegan cheese, but the vegan burger was amazing. The falafel bowl was excellent as well. The restaurant is one floor up, on the ground floor is their chocolate lab.

    Love this place !!! I have known this shop for some time now and I still enjoy coming here :) I am not vegan but I am in love with their vegan burgers, especially the Golden Gym. I would recommend to anyone living in Kyoto or just passing by, whether you are vegan or not (non vegan options also available)

    Menu leaves a wide variety of alternative options! I haven't seen a vegan/organic restaurant with so many menu items in Japan before and everything is made very tastefully. Service is very friendly and quick too :)

    Very nice and cozy place. The food was very good. I like the concept that it is a vegan restaurant, but some foods you can order non-vegan. The burger (beef) was not the best I ever ate, but definietly in my TOP10. The staff was very friendly and the service quiet fast (we had late lunch). Overall: very good experience and tasty food.

    Vegan fare: The King of Tropical Island tempeh burger had a delicious sweet and tangy flavor. The curry hummus appetizer was a flavor I never knew I needed until now. Perfect fries! Highly recommended options.

    Very impressive vegan and vegetarian dishes. Every dish is vegan friendly. Pizzas, Burgers and Salads with many variations and everything we tried was top notch. 5 star curry hummus!

  • 5/5 Cher S. 1 year ago on Google • 72 reviews
    We had the hummus and chips, vegan taco rice bowl, beef patty with rice (non vegan), and a vegan chocolate cake. The curried Hummus and chips were really addictive. Beef patty with rice was delicious (the beef was good!) Vegan taco rice bowl had lovely flavours that blended well together. Vegan chocolate cake was insanely good. It almost tastes like a cheesecake. Texture was perfect. Staff are also friendly and polite.

    One of the best meals in Japan! It’s not easy to find nice vegan food in Japan but this place is a gem. The hummus was amazing as well as the main courses. It’s a bit far from city center but it’s worth the hike.

    Really delicious Vegan options. The Don Julio burger set (with a vegan fried fish fillet) was amazing. Love the curried hummus they served with the set, and the side salad was fresh and crunchy. My kids loved the vegan pizza options, and fresh fruit sodas!

    The restaurant of the future! All ingredients in your food are explicitly shared, transparent, healthy, responsible, sustainable and local as much as possible. Most common food restrictions are accommodated (Gluten Free, Dairy Free/ Vegan, and it’s all in English, foreigner friendly, rare in Kyoto. Prices reflect the quality and unique interior with the local, colourful art you can buy makes it more cozy & fun. Great place to come socialize as burgers can also be made with 100% beef.

    Nice vegan cafe. Ordered an avocado beef burger with a vegan cheese cake. Appetiser was included. Those were tasty with good looking. Staff is very nice and having a good service. Also, love the music they played (mainly jazz) with the speaker~

    It was really great vegan options are delicious and great vegetarian you can also get meat if you wish I had the barbarian burger and it was great decent prize and one of the best meals I had in japan

  • 5/5 Ines W. 9 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Best vegetarian fried fish patty I ever have! The Japanese wheat patty with barbarian style tartar sauce is also amazing!! Wonderful vegetarian/ vegan restaurant in Kyoto.

  • 5/5 nurul s. 1 year ago on Google
    This diner has the option to switch the meat to Soy Patty, so it is also Muslim friendly. During the time I ordered, the soy patty was slightly burnt, but it still tastes pretty good. There are times when this diner is busy, so you might have to do reservation ahead of time. This diner is also quite close to Nijo castle so you can have a stop for lunch and dinner and it's quite convenient. The diner has cozy atmosphere and the space is pretty ample. It is located on 2nd floor however and the stairs can be quite steep so do be careful.

    Have allergies so decided to just go vegan in Kyoto. Ordered a “fish” burger with iced soy latte - tastes pretty good! Like the hidden nori flavor on the patty. As part of the lunch we also got a plum juice and curry paste; both taste really good.

  • 5/5 David M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice staff and good food. Weird combinations like french fries with chocolade but its definitely worth trying. :) Also you can choose between wegan patty and beef in burger. (Beef is perfect) In the ground floor There is a chocolade factory :)

    Best vegan fried fish burger, ever. Fries and side of hummus was such an nice elevated side. Very impressed. Will be going back again during our visit. So good that we wanted to applaud!

  • 5/5 Robert N. 1 year ago on Google
    I had dinner and lunch here. Great burger with amazing coated fries and a whiskey and ginger ale, followed by chocolate tart for dinner, and a rice bowl with so many delicious and fresh veg and an iced soy latte for lunch. Really kind helpful staff! Love the jazz and exposed brick vibe 😁

    Excellent food! I had vegan margarita pizza and cheesecake and both were excellent, they have happy hour $5 beers also which was nice. The vegan pizza was really fantastic I would’ve loved to eat there again if we were staying longer.

  • 5/5 G. O. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious gluten free and dairy free options. The vegan patty/burger was surprisingly good! Staff are kind too.

  • 5/5 Sam F. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best vegan restaurants in Kyoto. We had the drink set which was a choice of the main course, an appetiser and a drink! We had fresh juice and vegan burgers. They were so yum.

  • 5/5 Manon R. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome place, with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and alcohol free (Muslim friendly) options! Pizzas and burgers are excellent here. The desserts were also delicious! Can get crowded sometimes so I recommend booking a table ahead, especially if you're planning to go during the weekend.

  • 5/5 Jaedon B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazingly creative cuisine at a very reasonable price! The portion sizes are quite respectable and the vegan food is REALLY delicious. The lady who makes sweets is friendly and speaks native-level English making it a great option for those who aren’t as familiar with Japanese. 100% would recommend!

  • 5/5 Kseniia K. 3 years ago on Google
    Lots of delicious vegan dishes, very kind staff. Will be definitely coming here again! You should try their gelato, it's incredible. Very health-conscious restaurant with many gluten-free dishes.

  • 5/5 J B. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful eatery with gluten-free and vegan options. Light and refreshing lunch set with vinaigrette salad, picked veg, curry hummus and detox shot paired with a Golden Gym burger (Korean style 100% beef patty spicy BBQ sauce, kimchi, garlic chips and pumpkin seeds). Burger patty has option of vegan soy patty or beef. The bun was perfectly toasted to add mother layer of texture to the burger. If you’re looking for a safe gluten-free option for lunch or dinner, Premarché is the place in Kyoto.

  • 5/5 Y. Z. 1 year ago on Google
    After many days of tofu cuisine, this is a lovely alternative for vegetarians/vegans in Kyoto. The burger was really good and the appetisers were lovely 😊

  • 5/5 Kanako N. 1 year ago on Google
    Super nice place that I would recommend in Kyoto, all the burgers and desserts were vegan, and it was really tasty :-)

  • 5/5 Mintee 1 year ago on Google
    Many vegan options, amazing food, great atmosphere and great service! The waiter saw we were struggling so came to our help, answered our questions and was very patient and kind. They also made adjustments to our dishes and took down things we did not like with no problems. We enjoyed our meal :)

  • 5/5 Breanna H. 2 years ago on Google
    All the food was wonderfully delicious for those needing to keep gluten-free or not with an easy to use menu and great staff.

  • 5/5 Stephany B. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a nice place to visit, they have vegan and non vegan options. Burgers are quite nice. I love the cat atmosphere in this place 😸

  • 5/5 Songyi W. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has a little chocolate factory at the ground level, and the restaurant was on the second level. The menu was so various, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and specious. There is a lot of GF, VG menu you could enjoy 😉

  • 5/5 Ellen 1 year ago on Google
    If youre looking for a vegan food spot in Kyoto, youre absolutely right here. The Burger&Drinks were amazing and the Service was very kind&attentive! Recommend 5/5 :)

  • 5/5 Yuri 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing vegan food! There are many options to chose from (also non-vegan/ meat-based options). We had burger and pizza and we were very happy with the food. Also the chocolate cake with the home-made gelato is so good! It was one of the best gelatos I ever had outside of Europe.

  • 5/5 Rolf K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and relaxed restaurant with vegan menu! We had lunch here (Burger and Hummus bowl) and enjoyed it very much. The evening menu also has pizzas, so we're looking to come back for that!

  • 5/5 Sophia S. 10 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I really enjoyed the great variety of vegan options. The vegan fried fish patty was delicious and had a nice texture. My highlights, however, were the vegan chocolate cake and the curried hummus that is served as an appetizer. Staff are very friendly and the overall experience was great - Would definitely come here again :)
