Tasty food, joyful proprietor - Edit
Silver Backs Cafe is a happy little spot for tasty vegan takes on local staples (such as obanzai) and a few dishes from further afield. The set meals are nicely balanced with good flavors and textures. The atmosphere is charming, and the service very kind. The jovial proprietor speaks enough English to achieve clarity on what’s to be served, and in a delightful way. I enjoyed hearing him sing in the kitchen while preparing my meal.

Wonderful vegan surprise - Edit
A really tasty lunch here with several international options. One of the appetizers was the best tempeh I have ever had (why doesn't it taste like this when I cook it? The owner said he double fries it). Tasty set meal and faux meat too. And great desserts, especially the pudding. Wow!

Tasty, warm and friendly - Edit
This restaurant is a great addition to the area. Fully vegan, with a range of food from different cuisines. A great mix of Japanese and international menu items. Everything we tried was very tasty, beautifully presented, and good value. The owner is warm and friendly, and speaks some English. Definitely recommend a visit.
