Culinary Treasures Hidden in Kyoto - Edit
Read moreYesterday I found a cafe-restaurant whose bright yellow sign caught my eye. As a vegetarian I hadn’t had much luck in the neighborhood until I found Cafe Barraca.
Though “modesty” best describes this restaurant and its owner Kinoshita Kiyotaka, in my opinion the food was gourmet. I began with grilled eggplant with a tangy vinaigrette sauce combined with crunchy small cubes of cucumber and red pepper. I then tried the mushroom and brown rice croquettes which had a heavenly soft texture. The main course followed: an elegant vegetable paella with a kaleidoscope of tastes. Kiyotaka later told me he developed his recipes after a three-year culinary learning experience in Spain. He brought them to Kyoto because he found striking similarities between Spanish and Japanese food, especially the use of rice, vegetables and savoury tastes. The meaI was accompanied by a surprisingly refreshing glass of Fruto Moble white wine.
Later Kiyotaka and I talked about music (he played guitarist Carlos Montoya from vinyl records throughout the meal). The food, wine and music transported me …I then saw a transparent box inviting visitors to donate to “Noto”. I asked him who Noto was and he reminded me that Japan sufferered a devastating earthquake last January. He revealed that he had visited the community regularly with huge pans of paella, enough to feed 1000 people. The community eating together was part of the healing process as they would not be suffering alone. I was deeply moved.
So if you visit Kyoto and seek top quality vegetarian food at reasonable prices, I recommend visiting Cafe Barraca. You might even be treated to a story or two from Kiyotaka who seems never to lose his smile and his joy of life.
Pros: Excellent food, Good value, Engaging conversation and smiles
Cons: Needs separate veggie menu, Even veggie options if possible

Lovely place and delicious food! - Edit
They offer Spanish tapas and a yummy veggie paella with vegetarian items clearly marked on the menu. The salad was fresh and the grilled eggplant tapas was delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. We definitely plan to come back next time we are in Kyoto.

Fantastic vegetarian paella - Edit
RA rare restaurant offering vegetarian paella. I visited Spain twice but my wish to try paella never came true. If you are lacto-ovo like me, you can also order tortillas and manchego cheese on the side. They use burdock for broth.
