Delicious cakes - Edit
We came by just when they where closing to see if they still had some cakes to go. They did and we bought two: matcha cream and persimmon chocolate. Both where amazing and one of the best vegan cakes I’ve had. They where very rich, perfectly sweet and had an amazing texture. Highly recommend!

Quaint spot, well-made food! - Edit
I think there was only one or two small tables in this store so not the place for a large group. Staff was friendly and food was cute & tasty.

Very interessting neighborhood I never would have discovered if I wasn't searching for this resataurant. Even though the restaurant (kitchen) was about to close they let us in and made us some great dinner box and two burgers to go! We apprechiate that tons since we were so hungry! We also had the chance to buy some vegan instant ramen which were a great souvenir.

Hidden small cafe/restaurant with a tasty dinner set. Nothing extravagant but well-made good food, very non-pretentious. 1500 yen for a dinner set.

I didn’t want to leave - Edit
Organic House Salute is in a tiny room in a tiny alley that shoots off of another tiny alley. It is close to the Kyoto Station though, which makes it less confusing.
Read moreWe both had the vegan curry set. It came with curry, rice, salad and mayo, and two delicious cups of unidentified fruit and sauce. It took all of my self control to not lick the plate clean. Great price and absolutely worth it.
For lunch dessert we had a caramel nut cake, which looked a bit like a pecan pie. It was fantastic and a delicious way to end a wonderful experience.
The restaurant itself is very traditional looking, if a bit small. I kept bumping my head on the ceiling and doorways. Despite that I loved the atmosphere. The restaurant was full of locals and for good reason
Pros: Delicious, Cheap, Healthy
Cons: Obscure location, Short ceiling - difficult for tall people

Hidden treasure - Edit
A not so easy to find (look at photos to recognize )little place but worth the effort. Delicious lunch set menu at a very good price. They also serve a la carte. Lovely and welcoming staff. Everything was very fresh and the flavors well balanced. We also had a sweet bun and lemongrass tea, both very enjoyable. We highly recommend this over other places in the area. It’s small though and fills up fast.

Delicious meal, we came a little late for lunch but they still made us the vegan burger. Absolutely amazing and really well priced at 1500 yen per set meal but for a good amount of food.

Cosy little restaurant with great food - Edit
I came twice during my stay in Kyoto. Once I was late for dinner, but the owner kindly let us stay and choose among two options she had left. That was soooo kind! The food was fantastic, comprising a fresh salad, a soup, modern sushi rolls and some cooked veggies. The second time was during lunch time. The food was good, maybe a little less special than dinner, as it was a lunch menu. You can have a seat by the mangas and read a little while eating. Good prices! Very recommendable.

It’s hard to find but don’t be afraid to slide the door up and get greeted but the host. It feels like sitting in someone’s home for dinner.

I can warmly recommend this place.

Such a cute little restaurant and the staff are just wonderful! It's a bit unusual to find but follow Google maps and you'll be okay. We had the burger meal and veggie rolls and they were both absolutely delicious and generous sizes. We also had the macrobiotic sweets which were SO tasty and smoothies. I loved the whole experience and hope to come back.

Funny little place - Edit
We had to plan our trip to this place carefully as it seemed like it was closed a lot. We finally made it in for dinner and had a great time. The location is very close to Kyoto station, but you have to go around some corners to find it. We found it easily with online maps. Its a funny place inside with bushels of vegetables around and tight seating area. Would recommend for a fun and interesting vegan experience!
