Very cute cafe with delicious food :)

It's hiden in a smal street - so make sure you have saved it in maps. But its definitely worth going there! We had our dinner there. Everything was made with love and just tasty. Untill now the best vegan dinner I had so far in japan :)

Cosy cafe and tasty food

We ate here for lunch whilst at Nara Park. The cafe is small and cosy and the owner was very kind, she was making fresh bread when we got there. The food was also super delicious!

Best food in Japan

As struggling vegetarians, myself and my partner have found it hard in Japan to get good balanced food that wasn't overpriced.

This place was both great value and delicious.

The place is cutely decorated, the menu has a good selection of options, including a special. My set was a great broad range of tasty foods and a neat little coconut dessert that kept me going all day long. We also ordered a bean curry which was tasty and full of vegetables.

The lady speaks no English but the menu is English and we had no problems.

There is a small shop as well for vegetarian food stuffs.

Pros: Delicious, Great value, English menu

Hidden gem

Ramuna cafe is very close to Nara park where I visited a massive Buddha, and went running with deer (they are very friendly being treated as sacred city mascots)
The lady (owner?) of Ramuna is wonderful, patient, and cooks wonderful food. Eating the dinner she provided was like reading a refreshing of complex story for the pallet. I believe she was on her own that day, and had a large number of guests to attend but handled it all without even expressing a moment of pressure.

Delicious food and lovely quiet atmosphere

This lovely cafe is situated on a quiet side street near Nara Park, it's a perfect place to go for food to get away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets. Food was absolutely amazing, myself and my husband both agree it's one of the best meals we have had since being in Japan. The host was friendly and her cooking was amazing. We will definitely return the next time we come to Japan.

Pros: Delicious varied food , Excellent value, Quiet lovely atmosphere

Cons: None

Adorable cottage cafe

Tiny cafe serving yummy Japanese bento and set lunch. Also sells some vegan snacks and goods. The food was delicious and about 800-1000 yen per plate.

Sweet vegan cafe near Nara Park

Read more in this vegan Nara guide: https://itravelforveganfood.com/vegan-nara-guide/

Just tucked away in a small street south of Nara Park, Vegan cafe Ramuna is a cafe to get away from the busy park and have a nice meal.

The cafe has traditional decor. There are seats both inside and outside. The owner lady is very sweet and welcoming. Also, it seems like the owner is a cat lover as there are many cat paintings in the shop (but no real cats though).

You can find assorted plates, bento set, and even western dishes like pizza and hot dogs here. The pizza has vegan cheese on top and is freshly baked. Although the taste is not particularly impressive, the price is very reasonable.

Another dish I tried is the matcha ice cream. It has some rice cereal and a spoon-shaped biscuit on top. It would be even better if it’s less icy.

Overall enjoyed this sweet little cafe. Be sure to check out their shop section to get some Japanese snacks to bring home.

Pros: All vegan, Affordable prices, Sweet and welcoming owner

Cons: Hazelnut milk is very watery

Bentobox

Everything in my takeaway bentobox was very delicious, especially the deep fried soy meat stuff. (Way better then the last one I had.) I got japanese sweet patatoe salad, a tomato and some cucumbers instead of the miso soup. Might have been a bit too much rice for me, personally.

Pros: Delicious food, all vegan, quite a view organic things

Cons: You can smell there's a cat around.

My partner and I had three dishes: Brown rice with fermented vegetables and pickles, chickpeas, marinated tomatoes, lemon jelly, pumpkin, salad, miso soup and onion croquette / Japanese been curry served with brown rice, salad and vegan cutlets / homemade iced tea and rice-based dessert with sweet red bean paste.
It was absolutely delicious and super healthy. Highly recommend!

Cute place

Cute little place. I had the set with fried soy pieces and rice with beans. The food was nicely served. The portion size was absolutely ok, the flavored were very good.
I also had a cake to go. Together I think it was about 1000 Yen.
You can sit outside and inside. There’s a small shop inside and it is very cute decorated.

I would definitely recommend to go there.

Pros: Nice atmosphere , Delicious food

Cute and tasty

Absolutely cute little café. We were the only customers by the time and the owner was a cute Japanese lady who was both a waitress and I think also the chef. We sat outside at a very pretty table and got free mandarine jelly. The vegan burgers were super tasty, but I recommend getting the set since they are a bit small on their own.
Overall very affordable meal, great atmosphere. There was even a little shop inside as well, selling vegan snacks as well as shirts and pottery. Would definitely recommend!

Pros: Cheap , Super tasty, Cute

Worth seeking out!

This little cafe is a real treasure, we were in Nara park looking for somewhere to have lunch and this popped up on Happy Cow.
The previous reviews sold it to us and we were not disappointed. The owner is lovely and helpful and you can tell a lot of effort goes in to make the food look as delicious as it tastes.
I can't recommend this cafe highly enough!

Pros: Lots of vegan options including bento, Japanese, style mezze and hamburgers. Dessert and a great , drinks selection, too.

Cons: None!

A hidden Gem near Nara Park

A must visit for every vegan Nara-Park visitor.
A few minutes of walk and you'll find it using your mobile maps app.
Food was delicious, price was good.
I had the fermented germinated brown rice lunch plate and was very satisfied.
Recommended!
Added a photo of the place from outside.

Really delicious, homemade and mostly organic

Well worth seeking out this one-woman-show vegan restaurant. Located back from the main thoroughfare, not far from the entrance to Nara park.

The food is delicious, homemade and mostly organic. The woman who runs the place is a gentle and endearing character. The tastes on offer are as good as any vegan eatery in Japan. The apple juice is excellent.

Best Cafe I've ever been to 今まで一番素敵な店

Hands down the probably best cafe I know!! The owner, older lady (vegan for 20 years!), is friendly, the dishes diverse, incl. home made cakes, the burger was very nice, the menu book pretty, has English and it's easy to understand, the interior very pretty, romantic location too. Bonus: Cat pictures and figures^^
Alas, the owner said the shop is in the red and she has another job. Let's support this gem!

とてもおすすめ!美味しくて、可愛い店!是非行ってみて下さい。

Pros: great, diverse food, lovely interior, cozy, , romantic location, nice owner

Cons: absolutely nothing

Tucked away café

Cute little cafe, kind of hard to find as it’s tucked away behind a larger building next to the park. Just follow the alley to the little garden-looking cottage, where it’s well sign-posted. Very cozy inside, with freshly baked cakes. Was quiet when we went, we were the only ones there. The vegan hot dog and vegan burger were both delicious and cheap (about 400 yen each).

Definitely recommended!
