Best vegan egg salad I've ever had - Edit
I had the lunch sandwich special and although the potato salad and the tuna salad were good, the egg salad really blew my mind

Solid food - Edit
This restaurant is not actually at Kyoto station, though it is close. You go down some stairs to get to the restaurant itself. There is a lunch and dinner menu, though they let us order from the lunch menu for dinner. It was a variety, including simba, fried kuruma (a very tasted wheat gluten product), salad, and potato salad. For dessert I tried the sweet potato pudding. It was a good texture, very lightly sweetened, with a mild sweet potato flavor.

Cute restaurant with wide menu - Edit
Mercy is a chain, but still feel very local and cute. They have a wide range of vegan options in their menu, including set menus. It’s a good overall experience, but my favorites were the «egg» sandwiches outside of the set menu. It’s slightly expensive compared to other places.

Taaaasty egg sandwich, Oishi desu indeed - Edit
Envious of your fellow non vegan travellers constantly snacking on those Lawson egg sandwiches while you devour the 20th tofu bar?
Read moreLet the worries step aside and a new day be born in which you can partake in the egg sandwichiness!
Tastes super good. Could be more, it is jot a full meal, but worth its price.

Incredible food and great service - Edit
Amazing experience. The restaurant is chill and relaxing. Food was amazing and waitress was very mind. She spoke enough English for communication to be a breeze. Additionally for how much food you get it's very affordable and a great option for a tight budget! Highly recommend! It was a beautiful walk as well to reach the location.

Mercy deserves all your attention! - Edit
We tried their gimbap, egg sando, kumarafu, shoujin curry. We visited here 2 times and just loved this place. The kumarafu is especially delicious, though a dipping sauce with it would be great.

Japan has MERCY - Edit
It can be hard to find decent places that serve good, filling vegan food. This is certainly a great option. Smallish in size - seats about 16 people, Mercy has an All Vegan menu and lots of tasty options.

A gem - Edit
Had a fab dinner here, where I ate every crumb. Delicious flavors, lovely presentation, great service. The matcha pudding was criminally good. It’s located downstairs so look for the sign by the wooden facade.

Feels like home. Eggy sandwiches 👌 - Edit
Love the eggy sandwich, a simple staple that we don't get as vegans. Eaten them twice and will come back for more. Very cozy lovely place.

INCREDIBLE. Absolutely must visit - Edit
The food was out of this world. I’m from Denver Colorado in the US and we have great vegan options. This was better than most of them. I would eat here every week! We ordered egg salad sandwiches, miso soup, gimbap, chocolate cake and several to go items. Every item was tasty and fu of flavor.

Worth it - Edit
I had the "egg" sandwiches, the melon bread and a croissant. The sandwiches and melon bread were amazing, the croissant not so much.
Read more"Factory" describes the place well, as it has an industrial feel to it. Not a place to stay and enjoy the vibe, but the food is worth it.

Comida deliciosa cerca de la estación - Edit
Un restaurante con bastante variedad de platos, buena cantidad de comida y un sabor genial.
Read moreAdemás, tienen meronpan vegano. Yo lo pedí para llevar, me recomendaron calentarlo unos segundos en el microondas cuando lo fuera a comer y todo un acierto.
La aplicación no me llevó a la ubicación correcta pero si se poner la dirección en el Maps sí te lleva. Está en el -1 de un edificio
Pros: Meronpan, Cerca de la estación

Excellent! - Edit
We highly recommend this restaurant. Our dinners and lunches, and the take out bento boxes, were all great. We had the Shoujin Sushi dinner course, and both the Lunch Plate and Lunch Deep-fired Kurumafu set. The service is very helpful. The place is decorated sparingly. There is an elevator that can take you up to exit through the inn upstairs, but entry back to the inn would likely be locked.

A must try in Kyoto - Edit
Incredible restaurant near Kyoto station. I had the sandwich sampler, which included the egg salad, tuna salad and potato salad sandwiches. The tuna and potato were good but the egg blew my mind. I can’t understand how they made the egg so realistic. I ordered another egg sandwich because it was so amazing. They have these egg salad sandwiches at all of the 7 Elevens (not vegan obviously) so it was really special that I could have a vegan version.

Tasty!! - Edit
We went there for lunch: the gimbap was good; the fried kurumafu (a little bit like seitan) was very good, and also the fried cauliflower was super tasty.
Read moreAlso got the fruit sandwich (strawberry) and the chocolate melon bread which were very satisfying.
Great are also there opening hours!
They have breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, also a large take-out-menu.
The restaurant is located in the “basement” of a hotel. Only accessible via stairs.
