Excellent vegan option in Hiroshima

For a town that has zero fully vegan options, Otis fills this gap.
Whilst they offer omni options, their vegan/veg options are clearly labeled and easy to order.
We went on a Sunday which was also an open mic night, so we were able to also enjoy local live music.
We ordered the enchilada with vegan cheese and guacamole, followed by a vegan blueberry cake.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Pros: Price - paid ¥4700 for 3 drinks, 2 meals + dessert, Customer service , Vegan options clearly labelled

Cons: Location, still walking distance

Quirky, Perfect, Vegi!

A wonderful little place with the best host and food! As a family of four travelling Japan it can be tricky to get something to eat but this place was great!
Thank you!

Pros: Food quality , Choice, Price

Cons: Nothing, Nothing, That we are now back in the UK

cute little place

wasn't sure if it was open from the outside as it looked all dark and when i came in at 6.30 pm there were no other patrons ... but the owners were really sweet and made my food very quickly. it tasted great!! recommend the quesadilla and the veg chili. portions not huge so be sure to order more than one dish, but this is reflected in price.

Not great

I ordered 3 dishes, they came distributed over the next 1.5 hours, were tiny and tasted just ok. Left hungry and disappointed. The owner was really friendly though.

Tasty tex mex food

Lovely place to eat vegan or vegetarian. I had the enchiladas they were good! The atmosphere in this place is very good, the owner loves to put on some nice music. Sometimes there will be live music, unfortunately we weren’t lucky because the next performance would be a week later.

Pros: Sfeer, Prijs, Engels menu

Cons: Slechts 1 toilet

Great lunch spot

This little place is a three minute walk from the Peace Park. The menu is small but we vegans were happy to find their bean enchiladas with vegan cheese! The serving was smaller than we are used to from US Mexican restaurants. The guacamole and chips were great. The green salad was beautiful and very fresh. Sorry I didn’t take any photos. Hungry people inhaled the good food. Inexpensive.

Pros: Vegan options , Very tasty, homemade , Fresh

Cons: Took awhile for food to come but worth it.

Good food and live music!

We had the luck to be present on an open mic evening! The restaurant has very homely vibes and is run by a cute Japanese couple. With live music on top of that, we had a really nice evening. The food was delicious and there were various vegetarian and vegan options. I didn’t try the vegan cake, but it is all homemade and the pecan pie and apple crumble tart were so good!

Pros: Live music!, Various options, Sweetest Japanese couple

Good vibes

The owner is super sweet and knows a lot about music. Apparently they have live music 7-8 times a month.

We had the enchiladas, Mexican pizza, and lentil plate.

The restaurant is full of color and character, and was comfortable to hang out in. There is a mini climbing wall in the bathroom and lots of posters from previous film festivals. The owner is an artist, Japanese rasta is the idea.

Oh and quite a few veg options to choose from which was nice.

Charming spot

I got the vegan enchilada, avocado salad and the vegan cake with an iced coffee, all of which I wolfed down. Portion sizes are small so I would recommend getting a portion of rice with whatever main you get.

Pros: Lovely food , Vegan dessert , Vegan cheese!

AMAZING

This place is a must go.
They have vegan cheese that can be put on nachos, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc. they also offer curry, sandwiches, soup, salad, and VEGAN CAKE.
Owned by the sweetest and coolest elderly couple. Opened in the 80’s and has live music on weekend nights. SUCH a great place seriously.

Pros: Amazing food options , Great quality food, Staff speaks excellent English

Cons: A little expensive for certain items

Cool vibe, lots of vegan options

Fairly unassuming place not far from the peace park. Good music and a cozy atmosphere. It specializes in Mexican food, with a number of vegetarian options that can be switched to vegan on request. I had a lentil curry here, which was quite a large portion with a good taste, but I wish I had gotten something Mexican instead; it looked a lot better.

In any case I'd recommend Otis! for anybody visiting in the area.

cute cozy place

i was the only guest there because i went at 5pm, they know what vegan is and made my tacos with vegan cheese😄it was really yummy and around 600¥ for the tacos is a fair price (they were pretty small and i was still hungry so I def order more next time)

Delicious but slow

The space is funky and cosy and the food we ordered (nachos & enchiladas) was delicious. But it took a very long time for our order to arrive, even though we were the only customers there.

The coolest place in Hiroshima

I would give five stars if HappyCow would let me because of the accommodation and choices for vegans!! The vibe is cool, like, dark and you can tell the proprietors adore good food and rock and roll. The food was super tasty!! We have been enjoying Japanese food on our trip, but a tex-mex break added welcome variety!!

Pros: SO many vegan choices, Understand the concept of veganism

Fun vibe, tiny food.

Otis is a really lovely restaurant. It has many labeled vegetarian options on its menu, most of which can be veganized with their in-house soy cheese. We had their bean nachos, quesadilla, bean enchiladas, and vegan fruit cake. Everything was absolutely delicious! However, as others have stated their portion sizes are very, very small. Definitely order two or more dishes per person if you’re hungry. However, don’t let the tiny food deter you from trying a truly delicious restaurant!

Pros: Clearly labeled vegetarian (veganizable) options., In-house soy cheese!, Vegan fruit cake.

Cons: Very small portion sizes., Few things vegan as-is.

Quirky little place

A lot of the menu can be made vegan or vegetarian and lady who runs the place completely understands and is helpful. They have signs on wall to ask for soy cheese and also advertising when vegan cake is on offer. Portion sizes are slightly small so order few bits if you’re hungry.

Pros: Will easily make menu item vegan , They’ve vegan cheese

Cons: Smaller portions
