Incredible

We had lunch here and it was incredible. We had two curry plates which were on the menu that day. Everything was delicious and it all felt very healthy and lovingly made. The portion size was perfect. Everything was perfect. It was worth a detour (for us it was a detour from Kyoto for lunch and a trip up the nearby ropeway).

Amazing lunch and vegan cheesecake

10 mins from the station and a cute and friendly cafe. The set menu was amazing and the cheesecake was so pretty with gingerbread around it.

Pros: Cheesecake , Reasonable price, Friendly and quiet

Fresh and healthy food

Owners were very helpful. We had lunch here as two adults and two children. Portions of adult meals were particularly good. The food itself was delicious. There was a good drinks menu. The desserts looked amazing too though we were too full!

Athmospheric small cafe with amazing lunch

I had the Kiu gohan, Tasty japanese lunch reminding me of Shojin Ryori.
Tucked in a quiet back alley, mountainside of the popular tourist destination Kitano. I plan to go again for the curry.

Great chill vegan restaurant

The place is beautiful, calm and in the middle of a touristy area. The menu is short and the food is great.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere , Seating

Fresh, light and tasty!

We went here after going to the herb garden and it was awesome!
We had the KIU GOHAN lunch set which was full of incredible seasonal foods. The presentation was gorgeous and the place was quaint and quiet.
Definitely worth the trip if you go to Kobe.

Cosy vegan restaurant

We had two set menus which were very delicious. Set menu has 500¥ drink option but if selected drink cost 900¥ they charge 400¥ in addition. Kind of weird.

Pros: Pay with card possible, Organic vegan food

Cons: Price level bit high

Good taste, but little bit expensive

It is located in Kitano, a famous sightseeing spot in Kobe, and is easily accessible. The food is very delicious, but the price is higher than other vegan restaurants.

Great location, nice food but a little pricey

This place is located slap bang in the middle of Kitanocho- perfect for tourists visiting the historical foreign residences in the area.

The shop itself is a lovely renovated kominka with a very nice atmosphere.

I had the Kiu Plate which was made up of lots of different, delicious, healthy dishes made from organic vegetables.

The plate a drink cost 2,300yen for one, which feels a bit on the higher end especially considering the portion size was fairly small. But it's not outrageously more expensive than similar places. That said the individual drinks are very overpriced (e.g. 750yen for one small cup of tea or coffee) .

Pros: Tasty, healthy food, Nice interior , Great location

Cons: A little pricy
