Not great - Edit
Staff friendly on contact. Nice to bring us icy water as were both melting in the heat.
Read moreWe had a burger apiece, sadhu burger had little punch, fell apart, really soggy. Appalling to see the menu offering 100 per cent beef patty replacement if you want, while definitely posing as a vegan cafe, how disgusting. Really sad and disappointed.
Dessert was good, cheesecake.
Never again for the duplicity.

Pros: Vegan options
Cons: Deceitful, Omni joint posing as vegan cafe, Rubbish burger

Burger wasn’t great - Edit
Had the regular soy burger. It’s not constructed very well - the patty fell apart, there were so many sauces that everything was dripping, and the bun became soggy. The taste was fine, but after a few bites it became too soggy. Everything else on the menu looks good, I saw people around me eating other things that looked better. But I saw so many recommendations of the burger so I thought it was a safe option, but it really wasn’t.

Amazing burgers - Edit
This is a pretty cool place. Nice, natural decor. Every menu item is vegan by default, but they add at the bottom, that the vegan cheese and patty can be changed to non-vegan cheese and beef patty. I think for now this is the way forward. Whenever I take my friends to a place like this, they opt for vegan 9/10 times. Hubby did the same.
Read moreNow, the food… I tried a Korean style burger with kimchi on it. Perfect flavour balance, crunchy and just pure junk food heaven. Nice size burger, the garlic ships were crispy and getting hummus instead of tomato sauce is just perfect. The hummus was a curry hummus by the way, great idea!
Hubby tried the Japanese Businessman, which is a more traditional burger with the regular toppings.
The portion was big enough, it filled me up after a whole day of sightseeing.

Great food and nice atmosphere - Edit
I really liked the style of the restaurant and it has a good selection of food. Ordering through a QR code made things very easy. I went early at 17:30 and there weren't many guests and so got my food quickly and I really liked it! Can definitely recommend going here if you are in the area - or even when you are not 😊

Premarche is one of our mandatory stops when in Kyoto. You cannot go wrong with the Thai vegan pizza or the vegan burgers. Don’t for get to grab a vegan choco-chip cookie before leaving!

Nice but slow - Edit
Nice and tasty selection of gluten free main and desert options and vegan "meat" options like burgers.
Read moreService was incredibly slow. So I wouldn't advice if you're in a hurry. It took over an hour to be seated, and an over an hour to have our food from ordering and it came separately.

Pros: Lots for Vegans to choose, Lots of Gluten free options, Friendly and casual staff

Great vegan lunch set - Edit
The food here was very nice - we all had vegan burgers but swapped in mozzarella instead of vegan cheese. It came with a delicious little starter of tiny salads. The location was handy (near Nijo Castle) although a bit confusing as Premarche have several premises in the same area, so we initially saw a closed shop and thought it had closed down. Luckily not! The first 15 minutes was spent navigating a tough-going QR code ordering system. But overall this was really good.
Read morePros: Excellent quality food - very fresh, Child friendly

Opposite concept, vegan restaurant with meat options - Edit
The concept is very handy in a situation where you want to eat together with inveterate carnivores. Food was delicious with reasonable price.

Vegan by default - Edit
All dishes come vegan by default. Burgers are very delicious and a great filling lunch. Bigger than other vegan burgers you get in Japan.
Read moreBowls, Pasta and Pizza are also available, Pizza only for dinner tho.
Easy to order through QR Code and no need to worry about communication mistakes with your order.
Get the chocolate cake, small but filling and super delicious!
Pros: A lot of vegan options, Burger bigger than usual in Japan, Yummy chocolate cake (small tho)

lots of vegan options - Edit
Really unusual for a non-vegan restaurant in that virtually everything comes as vegan by default (i.e. Non-vegans would have to specifically request to swap the vegan meats and cheeses to animal based ones).
Read moreThe entrance was a bit confusing. It seemed like the ground floor was being newly renovated and was very empty. You have to go up a flight of stairs at the back to get to the restaurant.
I had the "Golden Jim" burger. The flavour was good but the patty was very soft and mushy. The fries were nice and crispy.
We didn't intend to have dessert as well but the waitress pounced on us mid meal to upsell their parfits and we felt pressured to order one. It was delicious but we ended up spending a bit more than we intended to.

Delicious food for reasonable price - Edit
Plenty of vegetarian/vegan options, they also serve meat, so great place for people with different preferences. I got a lunch set (1550yen): tempeh burger which was a bit sweet but still really good, fried potatoes and an appetizer salad which was very delicious. My non-veg friend got a falafel bowl and was really satisfied. We also got some gelato for dessert though we didn't see it being a part of a lunch set. Overall great experience, friendly and English-speaking staff.

Really Tasty! - Edit
**Thai pizza is great, too! 😊
Read moreI had the vegan fish burger set the previous reviewer recommended, and loved it! The fries had a sprinkling of curry powder, with hummus on the side—very delicious! For Gelato picks, I had “Belgium Chocolate with Dutch Cacao” and “Finest Sicilian Pistachio” which we’re both ultra creamy and divine! There were 8 vegan choices, and they let me try as many as I wanted before choosing. I ordered the added drink special and had the hot soy cappuccino at the end, for a total of ¥1980. Given how filling, the variety, along with the inclusion of dessert and coffee, I thought this to be an excellent deal compared with other similar Kyoto venues. Free WiFi, comfortable seating, and bright space. Definitely new Kyoto favorite!

Won’t return - Edit
Vegan margarita pizza came out cold and soggy. Flavours were great but served poorly. Soy chicken pieces were great - only meal we enjoyed. Pasta was ok only because it was hot. Otherwise very plain and lacking in flavours. Incredibly expensive for what we got but I guess that’s how it goes ordering Italian food in japan. Won’t return and don’t recommend unfortunately.

Lots of options but food is Disappointing - Edit
Had the vegan fish burger with some fries. Burger was soggy and the fish patty dry and not a lot of flavor, fries are 300yen for maybe 6 fries 😅
Read moreMaybe because it was 2h before closing, but I was kind of disappointed.

Fantastic vegan comfort food and the perfect place to go to with your non-vegan friends and family - Edit
An inclusive and cozy spot located just 10 minutes away from Nijo Castle that caters to a variety of dietary needs. Most items on the menu are vegan and vegetarian-friendly, with an emphasis on sustainable and additive-free ingredients. My favorites are the vegan fish burger and the hijiki mushroom pizza. It is the perfect place to have a lovely and satisfying meal with your non-veggie friends and family, so I highly recommend this place to travelers and locals alike.

Everything we ate here was so good! We tried the curry hummus which comes with papadum, fries, curry pizza, cutlets and the béchamel fritters. All were absolutely delicious! The space itself is also really nice, and the woman who was working when we went was really lovely and so nice to have a chat to. Would definitely recommend this place.
