Cozy - Edit
Loved the cozyness and atmosphere of this cute little cafe. You had to take your shoes off to go to the bathroom (there are toilet shoes there). The waitress was great and the food was very variable and tasted awesome! Would definitely recommend!

Delicious - Edit
What a lovely place. Staff were friendly. The menu is translated. The whole restaurant cooks without the 5 pungent spices (garlic, onion etc). We got the ramen, the cutlet bowl and the tofu nuggets. Everything was amazing. I also enjoyed an apple lemon cider. Free tea also available

Schade - Edit
Das Essen war leider ohne Gewürze. Hatte mir nach der Bewertung sehr viel mehr erhofft. Takoyaki waren laut Kellner ausverkauft, wurden aber beim Gehen für andere Gäste zubereitet.
Read moreDie Sojacutlett waren sehr gut.
Pros: Soyacuttlet

Einfach und Lecker - Edit
Wir haben einen Dumplin Hot Pot und eine Rice Bowl gegessen. Der Hot Pot war super und die Rice Bowl mit Soja Granulat geschmacklich auch hervorragend aber etwas klein, daher wurde eine zweite nachbestellt ^^
Read moreBeim reinkommen wurden wir nicht direkt begrüßt und man muss sich einfach einen freien Platz suchen und eine Weile warten, da die Damen am Kochen sind und etwas Zeit brauchen. Dann gab es gratis Tee, mit selbst nachfüllen so viel man möchte und eine etwas schwierige Bestellung, durch eine leichte Sprachbarriere.
Alles in allem waren wir hier sehr zufrieden und satt.
Pros: Geschmack , Preis-/Leistung , Gratis Tee
Cons: Etwas langsam , Schlechtes Englisch

Can only recommend coming here!

Medicinal is right - Edit
Although I appreciate the health aspect they’re aiming for, I do not want to sacrifice taste for health. The seasoning reminded me of those awful teas my doctor of Chinese medicine has me brew up when I’m sick.

A Gem that's just a stones throw away from Nijo Castle - Edit
Cafe Ren is a charming Cafe that has a beautiful, rustic aesthetic and authentic local charm. The owners and staff are delightful and incredibly hospitable to guests.
Read moreThe food is delicious, with a very broad array of Japanese, Taiwanese and fusion dishes. Most dishes will set you back between 600 - 1999 for full set meals, however I would strongly recommend you select multiple dishes and share amongst friends.
Pros: The food is delicious. , The hosts are incredibly kind and welcoming , The restaurant is authentic, charming and cosy.

Delicious and exciting options - Edit
Amazing food and a nice cozy atmosphere, the lady serving us was so friendly and welcoming too!
Read moreWe had the takoyaki, fried gyoza, soy meat soboro Don, and the unagi set. We couldn’t wait to finally try vegan versions of such classic dishes and they did not disappoint- the highlight was the unagi (eel, made from tofu), if was such an impressively constructed dish, and both visually and literally delicious.
For sure a highlight of our trip
Pros: Unagi set, Authentic Japanese dishes veganified, Cozy atmosphere

Charming place, highly recommended - Edit
Very nice and charming little place. Has a menu of a few dishes including one daily changing set, which I had together with some boiled dumplings. Very good and delicious. Staff is very friendly, pricing is very reasonable.
Read moreIt’s not too far from the Imperial palace or you can take a nice walk up along a small river next to Nijo castle.

Petit café paisible 💫 - Edit
Si l'occasion se présente, allez faire un tour dans ce lieu chaleureux et intimiste. Le personnel y est attentionné, et le repas rempli de saveurs tout en étant complètement végétalien (gyozas/takoyaki 🤌).

Nice place with good vegan options - Edit
We had the soy cutlets with rice and a curry bao bun. Both was good but I would have liked more filling in the bao bun. It also fell apart easily which I wasn’t crazy about. It wasn’t soggy but definitely a bit too moist for my liking. We met someone in Osaka who tried the Eel and said it was really good but we didn’t go for it in the end.

Great plate - Edit
We ordered the special plates, the takoyaki and the soy meat cutlet, and everything was delicious. Since they’re a small shoppe it took a while to order but once we did the food came out quickly
