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.

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 🤌).

Their recreation of animal products was phenomenal. Both the chicken and the eel were amazing. Lovely staff and nice cosy atmosphere.

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

Cozy spot for a lovely meal! - Edit
Visited on September 20, 2023. A cozy spot that I really enjoyed in Kyoto was Cafe Ren. It was further away from the main tourist attractions but totally worth the trek. They had some unique dishes, including options like vegan takoyaki (unfortunately sold out, so I didn’t get to try it). The vegan unagi was exceptional. I rarely encounter vegan unagi, but Cafe Ren nailed it!

- Unagi rice meal
- Daily special plate
- Fried dumplings
- Soy meat katsu

Nice place - Edit
Small place off the main road. The lady working is super nice. I got the kaarage (it said it was spicy but I didn’t find it particularly spicy) and the takoyaki. Both were good, but if I went back I would probably try other things.
