Geweldig restaurant - Edit
Super aardige vrouw die het in haar eentje runt. Toch was het eten er snel en was het erg lekker. De porties zijn klein maar wel goede prijs/hoeveelheid/kwaliteit verhouding.

Great ice cream and small shop - Edit
We didn't have time to stay for food but it smelt delicious! Had ice cream with mango sauce and bought some vegan soy milk ramen from the small shop 😄

Kind owner, offer super nice lunch sets. You will be informed that 40 minutes waiting time is to be expected. Nice outside sitting area. The lunch set contained so many tasty dishes.

Standout - Edit
This place’s a gem! We arrived at 12.05 and got one of the last couple of tables available! We were advised we’d need to wait 40 mins for our food, which was fine by us. The place is quirky and feels homey, the owner (who does everything from service to cooking) is very sweet and friendly. The food was delicious. The bill was ¥5,000 for two (inc coffees and dessert). Don’t miss it on your trip to Nara!

Worth scheduling your Nara trip around - Edit
It's an excellent cafe in Nara with a couple options. I first tried to go shortly after noon but there was a long line so I gave up and came back at opening for dinner. It did take awhile because there were a decent number of people and it's just run by one person, so I wouldn't try this place if you're on a tight schedule.
Read morePros: Delicious, Has a couple options, not just a single set, Cute interior
Cons: Very popular one person cafe so takes time

Loved it - Edit
Really cute lady running this restaurant alone. The food was great and the soy soft ice cream with mango was even better. English menu. When we went the for lunch we arrive 10min after opening time and there were already 4 guests. Come on time if you don’t want to wait all too long for your food (since she works alone)
Read morePros: All vegan, Good prices for what you get , English menu
Cons: None

Cuisine gourmande dans une atmosphère chaleureuse - Edit
Petit restaurant tenu par une dame très accueillante. J'ai l'impression qu'on est directement chez l'habitant. L'intérieur est cosy et rustique. Il y a également la possibilité d'y manger en extérieur sur la terrasse.
Read moreTout est préparé avec soin par la propriétaire. Il y a pas mal de choix en nourriture vegan : nous avons testé le plateau burger et le plateau avec le brown rice, tout était très bon !
Mention particulière pour la "soy meat" avec la sauce qui était excellente, et le pain du burger, qui avait une excellente consistance (je pense qu'il est fait maison).
Nous avons pu réserver le midi pour le soir, mais je pense que si vous y allez tôt vous aurez de la place sans problème.
Prévoir du temps tout de même, car la propriétaire est seule pour servir et cuisiner, donc en fonction du nombre de client, l'attente peut être plus ou moins longue.
Juste à côté du parc de Nara, un peu caché, ce restaurant est une petite pépite !
Pros: Beaucoup d'options veganes, Fait maison, Goût et textures au top
Cons: Un peu d'attente pour recevoir les plats

Great find - Edit
Really lovely little place & food. Gets super busy and is small with only one staff so prepare to wait but worth it! Get there as it opens to ensure a table.

Wow! Flavor-explosion. - Edit
Wasn’t expecting the food to be so flavorful and delicious when I got here. It’s a one-woman show and she does everything from taking orders to cooking. The wait was about 45 minutes to get our food, but it was well-worth it. The falafel burger was crazy good!

sehr leckeres Essen und niedliche Location - Edit
Die ältere Dame die das Local betreibt führt den Laden mit großer Passion. Die Auswahl an Speisen ist klein und es wird alles frisch zubereitet. Wir hatten den Falafelburger, die Pitatasche mit Falafel und die Suppe. Alles war hervorragend!

Cozy & delicious food - Edit
It‘s a tiny, super cozy place. The owner is also the cook, she‘s the only one working there. I ordered the lunch set menu and it was absolutely amazing and reasonably priced. If you have a chance, try the vegan soft icecream!

Feels very personal and human - Edit
This place has a very cozy and welcoming feeling. The owner is super friendly, after talking a little bit of Japanese with her, she gave us a free snack!
Read moreBeen there several times, the food tastes great. I like the bento box the most. A friend also purchased neat vegan clothing, they sell cool stuff.
Although a bit pricy (normal Japanese prices) it fits Nara's atmosphere.
