Finally, a creative hub

I've been to many restaurants in Kyoto, but this one stands out for it's originality. It's decor and food are all based on Brazil and everywhere I looked was another amazing work of art. The owner speaks English and hosts 3 guest rooms and has activities there as well.

Pros: The soup was delicious as was the special smoothie, This is the only restaurant I know open until 10 p, The owner graciously explained the food

Cons: He served white rice but is willing to make genmai, not in the center, but worth finding it

What a place! Please make sure to come

Do yourself a favour and come here! My partner and I just had dinner here and we loved everything about it. It was such an experience because the place is super cosy, we sat on sofas, and we were the only guests so we got to chat to the owner and explained all the ingredients to us, told us about his Brazilian influence. The food was on point too: interesting flavours, well composed dishes, good price and seasonal menu, so not only vegan but also sustainable. They also have a guest house! Make sure to grab the contact or message on instagram (@tovira.kyoto) if you want to stay in a vegan accommodation (very good price too).
Oh and the Acai smoothie and the one with that Brazilian yoghurt like fruit (never tasted anything alike) were superb.
I’m hyped, as you can see. 😌

Pros: The flavours, The coziness of the venue , The lovely owner
