lots of vegan options

Really unusual for a non-vegan restaurant in that virtually everything comes as vegan by default (i.e. Non-vegans would have to specifically request to swap the vegan meats and cheeses to animal based ones).

The entrance was a bit confusing. It seemed like the ground floor was being newly renovated and was very empty. You have to go up a flight of stairs at the back to get to the restaurant.

I had the "Golden Jim" burger. The flavour was good but the patty was very soft and mushy. The fries were nice and crispy.
We didn't intend to have dessert as well but the waitress pounced on us mid meal to upsell their parfits and we felt pressured to order one. It was delicious but we ended up spending a bit more than we intended to.

Delicious food for reasonable price

Plenty of vegetarian/vegan options, they also serve meat, so great place for people with different preferences. I got a lunch set (1550yen): tempeh burger which was a bit sweet but still really good, fried potatoes and an appetizer salad which was very delicious. My non-veg friend got a falafel bowl and was really satisfied. We also got some gelato for dessert though we didn't see it being a part of a lunch set. Overall great experience, friendly and English-speaking staff.

Really Tasty!

**Thai pizza is great, too! 😊
I had the vegan fish burger set the previous reviewer recommended, and loved it! The fries had a sprinkling of curry powder, with hummus on the side—very delicious! For Gelato picks, I had “Belgium Chocolate with Dutch Cacao” and “Finest Sicilian Pistachio” which we’re both ultra creamy and divine! There were 8 vegan choices, and they let me try as many as I wanted before choosing. I ordered the added drink special and had the hot soy cappuccino at the end, for a total of ¥1980. Given how filling, the variety, along with the inclusion of dessert and coffee, I thought this to be an excellent deal compared with other similar Kyoto venues. Free WiFi, comfortable seating, and bright space. Definitely new Kyoto favorite!

Won’t return

Vegan margarita pizza came out cold and soggy. Flavours were great but served poorly. Soy chicken pieces were great - only meal we enjoyed. Pasta was ok only because it was hot. Otherwise very plain and lacking in flavours. Incredibly expensive for what we got but I guess that’s how it goes ordering Italian food in japan. Won’t return and don’t recommend unfortunately.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Polite service

Cons: Poorly served meals , Lacking flavour

Lots of options but food is Disappointing

Had the vegan fish burger with some fries. Burger was soggy and the fish patty dry and not a lot of flavor, fries are 300yen for maybe 6 fries 😅

Maybe because it was 2h before closing, but I was kind of disappointed.

Very good Western - style food !

The room is very calm and is in a little covered street.
The lady who served me was very friendly and asked if I preferred English or Japanese before explaining everything to me.
Everything I had was very good !

Pros: clear vegan options , tasty food

Cons: expensive

Fantastic vegan comfort food and the perfect place to go to with your non-vegan friends and family

An inclusive and cozy spot located just 10 minutes away from Nijo Castle that caters to a variety of dietary needs. Most items on the menu are vegan and vegetarian-friendly, with an emphasis on sustainable and additive-free ingredients. My favorites are the vegan fish burger and the hijiki mushroom pizza. It is the perfect place to have a lovely and satisfying meal with your non-veggie friends and family, so I highly recommend this place to travelers and locals alike.

Delicious food!

Everything we ate here was so good! We tried the curry hummus which comes with papadum, fries, curry pizza, cutlets and the béchamel fritters. All were absolutely delicious! The space itself is also really nice, and the woman who was working when we went was really lovely and so nice to have a chat to. Would definitely recommend this place.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, clearly marked. , Really interesting pizza flavors! , Friendly, cozy atmosphere.

Vegan pizzas... just amazing!

They have unique pizzas as well as the regular ones (like Margherita), most of them can be veganized and they are all so delicious!!! We had curry pizza and thai pizza, they sound weird but totally amazing!! The gelatos were also sooo good and they have vegan tiramisu as well which was so rich and good!

5*: Creative & tasty pizzas and burgers.

Cool range of Asian pizzas (Thai, Indian, Korean), can be vegetarian or vegan. Really good bases.
Gf said the French fries were the best she'd ever had.
Gelatos were tasty, pistachio was amazing.
Nice atmosphere and staff. Defo a good place to come for a veg*n pizza/burger/gelato fix!

Kyoto - lunch

Very tasty and healthy veggie burger made by friendly people. The dairy-free gelato was delicious too and much needed on a very hot summer day. What more can you want!? Also, they served me even though I walked in last the last order for lunch so thank you very much!

Five Stars

Cute little Restaurant with a lot of different ice cream choices (dairy and non-dairy). The Burgers were really good and you even get to choose the type of cheese you want (vegan or mozzarella) :3 the owners were super kind and English speaking. You can try out any ice cream flavor before you choose :)

Delicious burgers and gelato

This is a great new vegan friendly place in Kyoto with many vegan burgers to choose from on the menu. I tried the fish burger and thought that it was excellent. You can order a meal set that includes the burger with a side of fried, salad, and hummus plus two scoops of gelato which is definitely the way to go. You don't want to miss the gelato! I tried the chocolate with the white miso vegan cheese and it was and excellent combo. The staff here are super friendly too!

Delicious food! Friendly staff, great restaurant.

This place is so great. Sometimes in Kyoto, vegan restaurants focus more on healthy vegan options, but some of us vegans don’t always want to eat kale and quinoa. Sometimes we want burgers, pizzas and ice cream, and Premarché Junk Food really satisfies that craving. Their vegan burgers are full of flavour, and the gelato is out of this world. Prices are good too!

Pros: Excellent staff, Tasty gelato, Near to Kitayama station
