    (Translated by Google) Order veggie plate Among the three types of tapas (one item 300 yen), the avocado croquettes are excellent and I was impressed! A long time ago with a taste of deliciousness As long as it does not disappear from the menu, the tapas 1 item will be decided at Kore each time from now on Other tapas, broccoli quiche and yam steak etc are also delicious Post-meal desserts are daily made with basic okara and rice flour based sweets This time is Jamaican carrot potato? Order the tart This is also delicious It has a sweet taste different from sugar and honey, and it does not use dairy products and eggs at all, but it has no inferiority compared to ordinary Western-style confectionery Salad with vegan sauce and yam sauce, sweet sake, sweet sauce with sake lees If you know earlier, you will need to go through many legs and have excellent restaurants for vegetarians and non-vegetarians. It is basically vegetarian except for some menus such as jerk chicken Whole menu seems to be gluten free Although eating out was basically curry, I want to repeat here (Original) ベジプレートを注文 豊富な種類のタパス(単品300円)の中から選んだ3種の中でもアボカドのコロッケが絶品、感動した! 久々に美味しさで目剥いた⊙⊙ メニューから消えない限り今後再訪時も毎回タパス1品はコレで確定 他のタパス、ブロッコリーのキッシュや山芋のステーキ等も美味 食後のデザートは日替わりで基本おからや米粉ベースのスイーツ 今回はジャマイカンにんじんポテト?のタルトを注文 これもまた旨い😋 砂糖や蜂蜜とは違う甘味で、乳製品や卵も一切使ってない筈だが普通の洋菓子と比べても全く遜色無し サラダにかかってるビーガンソースとやらも麹、甘酒、酒粕による甘口ソースになっている もっと早くから知ってれば足繁く通ってただろう菜食・非菜食両対応の優良店 ジャークチキン等一部メニューを除き基本的に菜食対応 全メニューグルテンフリーらしい 外食は基本的にカレーばかりだったけど、ここはリピートしたいと思う

    Another great place for vegan food in Osaka. Eclectic small space with only counter dining available inside but I think outside seating becomes available once it gets more crowded. The owner/chef really takes care to make each item and plates them beautifully. Also don't leave without having some dessert or take some to go, they are very delicious and make you feel good inside. Highly recommend it.

    (Translated by Google) Jerk chicken and rice and peas 900 yen. Jerk chicken has ス パ イ ス the smell of pickled spices 塩 It was never salty. I think that the tender young chicken peach is used to receive all probably, but it is a pity that the taste is poor ... (Original) ジャークチキンとライスアンドピーズ 900円.ジャークチキンは漬け込まれたスパイスの香りが◎ 塩辛いこともありませんでした.たぶん万人受けするように柔らかい若鶏のモモが使われていると思いますが旨味が乏しいのが残念…

    They have a menu of vegan tapas as a set with Jamaican style rice and salad. They also serve real chicken with these sets for meat-eaters. The flavours they are able to achieve on only plant-based ingredients is incredible. A lot of vegan places in Japan are lazy with seasoning their dishes - but not here. Every dish is totally flavour-packed with incredibly unique flavours and textures. I’ve never eaten anything like this before. The tofu quiche was especially impressive! The space is tight - only a 9-seat counter. The owner is also bilingual and they have bilingual menus if you need it. It’s such a shame their hours are so limited because I’d love to come here more often!

    Beautiful vegan tapas, incredible value, and friendly staff. They provide non-vegan food on Tuesdays, but every other day there is an extensive selection of vegan food.

    (Translated by Google) recommendation! ! ! I don't think you can imagine Jamaican cuisine in vegan, but the four kinds of Vegan tapas is a personal flow. The vegan nugget is an iron plate. The day I have gyoza dumplings is the best! ! It's generally delicious that Kikuimo and yacon are in it. If you can afford it, definitely try baked sweets! That would be a luxurious day! ! My recommend shop !! (Original) オススメ!!! Veganでジャマイカ料理とか想像できないと思いますが、Veganの4種タパスが個人的な流れです。 ヴィーガンナゲットは鉄板で。 ベジ餃子がある日は最高です!! 菊芋とヤーコンとか入ってるのは大体美味しいです。 お腹に余裕があれば、絶対焼き菓子を! そうなれば、贅沢な1日ですね!! My recommend shop!!

    Absolutely delicious and fresh lunch!! The avocado fritter is INCREDIBLE, and the jerk chicken is so juicy. This is a lovely little lunch spot, can't wait to come back when I return to Osaka!

    Such a quaint restaurant. It's a one woman show, and she serves up delicious vegan food. English friendly! I highly recommend their vegan burger and hand drip coffee. 😍 All her menus are hand written and drawn. One of my favourite experiences in Osaka! 💓

    Absolutely delicious food. Generous portions, I got the vegan combo set which was 3 sides of your choice + rice + salad which left me beyond full. The nuggets were to die for, definitely recommend you try them. There's also a selection of cakes and a lot of drinks like chai latte and hot cocoa which is rare in Japan. The owner is lovely and the environment was welcoming. Definitely stop by if you're in the area!

    Tasty vegan food. They have meat as well but I did not try that. We ordered the vegan burger the full pita and the avocado nuggets tappa. They were all tasty. I think the burger and the things inside the pita are the same so it just depends how you would like to eat it. Presentation was very nice. Both were a little hard to eat without making a bit of a mess. The owner was very nice and spoke fluent English to us. Seating is very limited and tight so I would not recommend bringing bags with you. Food cost us about 1200 yen a person.

    Love the food here. My first time trying vegan food cause my friend brought me here and everything was so tasty especially the cakes! Not to mention, the owner speaks English

  • 5/5 Krikor K. 2 years ago on Google
    Base Island Kitchen is not to be missed. The super chef Kotomi does inventive and healthy Japanese X Jamaican Spice cuisine. It is vegan, except for the jerk chicken. There are always madly good new vegan cakes on the menu. Don’t miss the かぼちゃpumpkin spice pie 🤯.

  • 5/5 Johnathan H. 4 years ago on Google
    Cosy place with colourful regulars and delicious gluten free everything. Kotomi, the owner, is both very sweet as well as super knowledgeable about what she does. Came to eat here all three days that I was staying in Osaka trying two different dishes, three tapas and two cakes and nothing disappointed. Looking forward to my next trip to Osaka.

  • 5/5 Tricia H. 5 months ago on Google
    We are here today. I’m coeliac. The food was absolutely delicious, I can highly recommend it. Everything was gluten free

  • 5/5 Carla H. 4 years ago on Google
    A colourful and vibrant cafe with a funky menu of Jamaican inspired Japanese foods, and really reasonably priced and yummy. I got the tapas sets and all the flavours were on point, plus the woman is friendly and fun :)

  • 5/5 許櫻花Sakura 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing!!! It’s small but the owner is dedicated and cooks with great flavour. As a person who eats mostly plantbased, this is a great option. The sweets also looked amazing but after my salad, rice and 3 tapas, I was already full. This means I have to come back! Also, prices are really reasonable!

  • 5/5 Jing P. 1 year ago on Google
    I went back in 2016 and we had such a good time that we went twice in the time we were in Kyoto. The owner was so friendly and kind and her food was just INCREDIBLE. I would love to come back again the next time I am in Osaka!!

  • 5/5 C K. 1 year ago on Google
    Best in Osaka. Friendly owner. You can feel and taste her devotion to the quality of food. Thank you for this experience. Very small shop. Best for 1-2 people.

  • 5/5 Jean F. 1 year ago on Google
    I always take the vegan lunch set with three tapas, but the chicken lunch is also very good. The taste and creativity of the tapas for this kind of price is amazing.

  • 5/5 julia s. 1 year ago on Google
    I wish there was a restaurant like this in NYC, best vegan quiche of all time. Nicest owner. Went twice in 2 days and we will be back!!

  • 4/5 Talia K. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is really good. There’s both vegan and chicken dishes which are healthy and delicious. Vegan nuggets and falafels are amaz. The desserts are healthy and not so sweet so if you like the vegan healthy flavor they’re awesome. Especially liked the orange pie.

  • 5/5 Suki L. 1 year ago on Google
    An excellent vegan meal that was well worth the wait. A small cafe offering vegan tapas & a chicken option. We had a plate of rice & salad & 3 tapas

  • 5/5 Charlie 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing!!! Highly recommend!! The vegan and gluten free food was the best I have had so far in Japan with delicious fresh cakes. The owner was so kind and knowledgeable on vegan/ gluten free and coeliac

  • 5/5 Tanja R. 7 months ago on Google
    Excellent gluten-free and vegan food and cakes! There is chicken too, but the meat eaters in my party were very satisfied with their vegan tapas. The plum wine was good too. I was able to find low FODMAP food too, just skip the beans that comes with the rice in the salad+rice+tapas sets. Very satisfied!

  • 5/5 Ingrid J. 7 months ago on Google
    Hidden gem in Osaka! Yummy tapas prepared and served with love by the owner of the place. The desserts are a must-try! Creative and delicious. All vegan and gluten-free. Quite small but very cosy. I totally recommend!

    Super personable staff. Really enjoyed my time connecting with the ladies here! I felt so shy at first but opened up! Came alone and made new friends!

  • 5/5 Simen �. 4 years ago on Google
    A favourite in Osaka. Came for the vegetarian food and came back for the experience. Went here twice during my short stay. Delicious food the staff is super friendly and helpful. I left with a map and several suggestions for what to do with my Sunday which I would never have discovered on my own.

  • 5/5 Ine V. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) After standing in front of a closed door at another restaurant, this restaurant also seemed closed. The owner had a catering, but when she realized that we wanted to eat gluten-free, she was prepared to prepare a meal for us on the condition that we would not stay longer than 1 hour. This was very sweet! We enjoyed the meal. The green smoothie was delicious. The dish with chicken and the two tapas dishes too. (Original) Na bij een ander restaurant voor een gesloten deur te hebben gestaan, leek dit restaurant ook gesloten. De eigenaresse had een catering, maar toen ze door had dat wij glutenvrij wilden eten, was ze bereid om voor ons een maaltijd te bereiden op voorwaarde dat we niet langer dan 1 uur er zouden verblijven. Dit was heel erg lief! Van de maaltijd hebben wij genoten. De groene smoothie was heerlijk. Het gerecht met kip en de twee tapas gerechten ook.

    plant and meat base selections, very nice owner

  • 5/5 George D. 4 years ago on Google
    The best vegan food in Japan. This place was unreal. The owner was lovely and it has an amazing atmosphere in there despite it's small size. The food was incredible, the burger could rival Impossible Burgers and the various tapas dishes were just amazing. I wish I could go back here it was that good. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Harold R. 4 years ago on Google
    Found this looking for vegetarian places. Regular omnivore menu and vegan too. Very small space and food that is huge on flavor. A hidden gem that is mostly visited by locals.

  • 5/5 Amanda M. 4 years ago on Google
    The place is extremely small, but food is worth it. They have a range of meal sizes, so light to large serves. There were several cakes on offer, and many people came by just to get take away cake so a local hot spot. The order too a while to come, but again, worth it as it’s homemade and fresh.

  • 5/5 Natalie S. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing vegan tapas. The lady that runs the place is amazing as well. This was one of the best meals we had while we were in Japan.

  • 4/5 akira t. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) What is Mexican food? I felt it, but the more I eat it, the more I feel Mexican. Habanero source is a suicide act as it is, but wondering that it was delicious when you wear it in the meat. (Original) メキシコ料理ってなんぞや?って感じがしたけど、食べるとなるほどメキシカン、って感じ。 ハバネロソースはそのままだと自殺行為だが、お肉に着けて食べると美味しくなったのが不思議。
