Cosy place with good vegan food 🌱✨

Stumbled upon this place kinda randomly since I had a spa session in the area. I had a rice bread sandwich with hummus and a coffee, and it was all sooo good. Happy that all the vegan options were clearly marked on the menu. The two employees were so friendly and welcoming ✨

Pros: Extremely friendly staff , Cosy atmosphere and venue , Clearly marked vegan options

Excellent vegan selection

Great selection of vegan options, though I have always ordered their delicious vegan Thai green curry as a main so far, as I don’t know any other place in Tokyo that offers such a plate.

I believe all their desserts are vegan and they also make their own bread with rice flour (all meals are gluten free), the sample they gave us was very nice.

Pros: Multiple vegan selections, Nice atmosphere, Friendly owners

Wonderful little restaurant

Such a cute little place. Only had a small meal here since I was saving room. Staff was really friendly, English support available. For fellow tourists: great place to grab a bite before or after the Ghibli Museum! We found the dog!

Pros: Very cute interior, Good options for either a small or large meal

Very cute place

Clearly marked menus (English and Japanese available). Very tasty refreshing menu I had the taco rice bowl, a side of falafel and then the waffles for dessert.
The restaurant is decorated in photos of cats but there is one dog in the store. It’s the challenge to try and find it!
Staff were friendly and very talkative! Plus the place has a great soundtrack!

Pros: Lots of vegan options + English menus , Friendly staff , Great music, decorations and overall vibe

Will come back for sure!

My first time at Where is a Dog. I had the vegan rice bowl which was very good! It was very filling and had carbs and protein (soy TVP granulates) and a great assortment of both veggies and fruits. The salad dressing on top was delicious, which is prob the reason I will return.

All guests get a light tea water (although there is an extensive drink menu) and for dessert I had the vegan waffle plate, which was good. The waffles were gluten free, so if you are used to "regular" waffles, the taste is a bit different, but not bad. Food presentation was lovely too and staff were attentive and nice. All safety measures during Covid-19 were appropriate and good.

My friend found the dog, but we are not allowed to reveal where. :-)

Pros: Taste of food, Dish presentation was lovely, Free wifi

Delicious and cozy

I found the dog! This cozy cafe is decorated with loads of cat pictures. Offers nice tea specialities, lunch, dinner, sandwiches and deserts - I tried the curry noodles (you get to pick a type of noodle) and a brownie - both were very yummy. Staff was really lovely too.

Excellent

Simple and tasty, generous portions, charming place (not crowded). Lot of cats decorations but no actual cats ! Owners a very friendly and speak a bit of english.

Pros: almost all meals have a vegan variation, Sell vegan/no gluten home-made bread

Nice little cafe

A quite nice little cafe with some vegan options and desserts. The staff is friendly and and the atmosphere is cozy. If you're scared of cats, don't go there!
The upset was, that my partner and I ordred the same dish, which could be made vegan, where I got the vegan one and she got the same with chicken and cheese. The difference between the dishes was, they just didn't put chicken and cheese in my dish otherwise it was exactly the same - and so was the price...

Pros: Many vegan desserts , Good atmosphere

Cons: You pay the same for less if you order vegan, Medium-sized portions

Spacious place and good food

I really loved the ambiance, and the people working there are very nice, patient, and helpful (my Japanese is awful xD). I quite enjoyed the asian curry I ordered and the 3 set menu items (although they were very small portions).

Gluten free and vegetarian

This place is regented by a charming couple that looks after their customers well. The menu had multiple choices for vegan and vegetarians and it was all gluten free, including the beer! It was not in a neighbourhood we were visiting but it was definitely worth the trip to get a good dinner

Pros: Very friendly staff, Well priced, Sells bread and other gf products

Cute place, amazing food

This place is so great - the food is healthy, homemade and always delicious. They have a lunch and dinner menu consisting of a rice bowl, Thai curry, vegan plate etc. I get the rice bowl every time because it’s so good and beautifully presented. They also have a dessert menu including vegan waffles and pancakes which I am yet to try! The place is also so cute and seems like it’s family-run - the owners are always so friendly. This is a great place to go with omni friends as they will love it too. I highly recommend!

Mostly vegan, all gluten free, super friendly

Love this place! Great ambiance, very tasty food, a good amount of options, and friendly staff (I didn't try speaking with them in English, so not sure if they can, but the menu has lots of English). We had the Asian Curry Pasta set, which was delicious. The waffle with fruit and whipped cream was very good, too. They have perhaps 100 cat photos, books, and statues, and only one dog, who you can search for (very fun). I found him!
