Geweldig restaurant

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.

Pros: Aardige eigenaar, Super lekker, Vegan soft served

Great ice cream and small shop

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 😄

Excellent lunch

We had an excellent and very filling lunch here after walking around the deer park and temples. Definitely worth walking off the tourist trails to get here. Excellent food and lovely homely environment,

Pros: Large lunch

Cons: Small if you are in a hurry there might be a wait

Super nice lunch set

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.

Should have ordered lunch set

Cute cafe. Highly recommend the soft serve.

I think the lunch set is the way to go, heaps of people were ordering it and it looked more interesting than my noodles which were just okay.

Standout

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

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.

Pros: Delicious, Has a couple options, not just a single set, Cute interior

Cons: Very popular one person cafe so takes time

Loved it

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)

Pros: All vegan, Good prices for what you get , English menu

Cons: None

Cuisine gourmande dans une atmosphère chaleureuse

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.
Tout 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

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.

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!

Cons: Cash-only

Beautiful eco friendly cafe

Very lovely atmosphere and amazing food! Bring some time when going there since the owner is doing all by herself. So worth the wait though 💜🌸

sehr leckeres Essen und niedliche Location

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!

Ich kann dieses Lokal zu 100% weiterempfehlen und wir definitiv nochmal dort essen. 😋

Pros: Tolle Abwechslung zur traditionellen jap. Küche, für Katzenliebhaber ein toller Ort

Cozy & delicious food

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!

Comfortable cafe at reasonable prices!

I ordered A set and on the lunch plate there were the diverse array of dishes. The food was truly delightful. They also have some cakes and soybeans ice cream, too.
Would love to go back there again.

Feels very personal and human

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!
Been 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.
