Great food with a view! - Edit
My partner and I went here three times- twice for lunch and once for dinner. We preferred the lunch set as we thought it was better value. The food was very nice especially the soy meat. The chocolate that they sell as some of the best I've tried- the cookie flavour is amazing as we bought three blocks! Dinner was a bit less exciting and more Western and very popular. The staff are really kind and helpful. Would definitely come back for a fourth time!

Tasty food with a view - Edit
SHOP: small shop with great vegan "milk" chocolate and vegan vegetable spread among other things.
Read moreFOOD: food is very tasty (we had stir-fried rice with tempeh and vegetables, deep fried soy meat and a soy meat burger, and muffins & cake for dessert), you can also buy muffins and cake to go, they also have (green) smoothies and quiche, smallish portions
INTERIOR: lots of wood, great view over the river (especially when the sun is still out)
LOCATION: walkable distance from the JR Kyōto station (we're used to walking)
Pros: take-out muffins and cake!, small shop with great vegan chocolate, tasty food
Cons: small portions

Great vegan cafe - Edit
My husband and I arrived in Kyoto at 9:15 PM last night and went straight to Veg Out to get dinner but we got there too close to closing time. I told the people who worked there that we just got into town and were vegan and starving. They were SO nice. Even though they don't do take out and don't have to go containers they went through everything in the kitchen and found some boxes and foil and put together the best dinner for us to take back to our hotel. We went back today for a late lunch and ordered the quiche (same as last night) and I had the spinach soup and my husband had the minestrone. We had the raw vanilla cake for dessert. This was truly one of the best vegan meals we have had in a long time. The quiche was so creamy, the soups were both great and the dessert was very rich, creamy and delicious without being too sweet. We sat by the window and watched the river and the people walking by while listening to the relaxing bluesy/jazzy music they played.It has been a challenge eating healthy, tasty meals in Japan so Veg Out was a very welcome surprise. The one thing was that on the map supplied to Happy Cow it gave the wrong side of the street as the location of the restaurant. The side the map said it was on was a shrine :).

Very disappointed - Edit
I don't like to write negative reviews but myself and a friend embarked on a 30 minute walk in the rain super excited to try Veg Out as a result of all the rave reviews we have read. Sadly we were met with a waitress informing us the they were closed for a meeting and pointed at the sign showing the trading hours (which stated they should be open at this time). The waitress was unapologetic (something we have not encountered along our travels in Japan) there was also no mention of the closure on their Facebook page which appears to have only been updated in the last couple of days. Sadly we will not be going back in an attempt to eat there due to the experience even though the menu looks lovely. I would suggest better communication using there social media platforms to avoid disappointing prospective customers.

Wow - Edit
Hands down one of the best Vegan meals I've had anywhere - the food was fresh, the service was friendly and fast, the location was great and the views across the river were amazing. Highly recommended!
