Beautiful spot - Edit
Staff are super friendly and the food is amazing. A beautiful outlook over the river and bridge puts a cherry on top of such a great spot.

Original & delicious vegan dishes! Oishi! - Edit
We had the daily Soup, Taco Rice, Tofu Carbonara and Green Curry Risotto. A very unique use of herbs create some great vegan flavours - my wife wa surprised that it was vegan. We finished with a Bonsoy Chai latte... perfect! Highly recommended.

Beautiful, delicious and nourishing - Edit
We ate here twice while staying in Kyoto. Although it wasn’t close to where we were staying it was worth renting some bikes to eat here! Wonderful atmosphere and real food and coffee (they even use bonsoy - the only soy worth drinking).

very good - Edit
I tried the banzai lunch special and i have to say it’s delicious. It has a variety of different foods some of different origins and it was very good. If you’re coming for lunch try to make it before 3pm otherwise you won’t be able to get the lunch

Beautiful Fine Dining - Edit
Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff with great English. I recommend the carbonara pasta, I’m not a pasta fan but it is SO Devine! The hot wine is also delicious and comforting if you’re visiting in the winter. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fancy dinner date location. It’s a little expensive but you get what you pay for - good quality organic meals etc.

Good vibe, great food! - Edit
Went there today for dinner. Fantastic river view and we managed to catch the sun set over the water. This place has a lively vibe and staff are really friendly. They have an English menu and offer a variety of choices.
Read moreWe ordered the tofu carbonara and the green curry risotto. The pasta came with an extremely rich and creamy sauce which I loved. We also ordered their chocolate "cheese"cake (raw vegan) and coconut muffin with choc chips for dessert. The raw cake was heavenly with a rich cholocate flavour. Would go back if I have time!

A great place - Edit
The place is really nice and pretty. I enjoyed the food but it was too spicy for my liking and there wasn’t a lot of options. They also sell interesting snacks there but they’re a bit pricey, though it’s still a nice place!

Refined cafe - Edit
This was a lovely minimal style cafe that’s all vegan. I went for breakfast and had their toast special, which was delicious. Their coffee is very good and they offer hand drip. The prices were expensive but it was quality and had a great view.

Not a favorite - Edit
I wouldn't call this place bad, but I can't recommend it either. My dish was not very interesting. Also, while the restaurant claims to have cafe hours until 6pm and serve dinner after that time, arriving at 5:30 means you have to wait outside until they are ready to take dinner orders. At least the service was quick!

Nice place, lame menu - Edit
Dropped in for breakfast.
Read moreI was underwhelmed by the breakfast menu with only a few simple options. Toast, a veg panino and a couple of yoghurt bowls.
I orders the panino (disappointing) and the acai bowl. The acai bowl was really poor - not enough fruit and hardly any granola.
I was also disappointed by the service which was very slow indeed.
I'm sorry to say, I can't recommend this place because the food is well below par.

very tasty food, lovely staff - Edit
We had diners every night at that restaurant that was just next to our hotel. Fresh food and extremely tasty. Loved it! Only downside was that it was no gluten free options except from rice and salads. They had really tasty vegan burgers and muffins but they had gluten.

Delicious - Edit
The restaurant was top notch, cosy and had a perfect location by the river. The food was amazing! We tried two of the three dinner plates, nr 1 and 3 if I'm not mistaken. I'm already looking forwars to try the last one! The appraisers were also good, the potato was a bit to salty, but the fried tofu (I think) was tasty.

Lovely cafe overlooking the Kamogawa River but overpriced dinner menu - Edit
Veg Out is situated at a very convenient location overlooking the beautiful Kamogawa River with an airy , bright space which is a great place to relax and work. The lunch plates are decorated beautifully and taste clean yet fairly delicious. I also like the vegan taco rice which is filled with lots of fresh vegetables and a tasty taco sauce. However, one of the problems I have with Veg Out is that the dinner menu is overpriced for what you get. The vegan steak for example is just a small piece of vegan patty that is priced at a whopping 1500 yen with no rice or accompanying salad. The fried rice is also measly and oily with under-seasoned tempeh even though you pay more than 1000 yen for it. The desserts are hit or miss, although the cheesecake and some of the muffins are nice. I heard that the raw cakes and carbonara are quite good. Overall I would recommend this place for lunch or a light meal in the day if you are in the area near Kyoto Station.

nice atmosphere, close to the centre, nice view - Edit
We went to Veg Out on our first night in Kyoto and enjoyed the view and atmosphere. We ordered the platter and had not realised that it would be cold. This was a bit of a disappointment but had we gone again we would've ordered something else. They were also not open on another occasion when their opening times suggested that they would be.

Beautiful location, yummy food - Edit
We got here a bit early for dinner/too late for lunch, so we didn't have much option here because of timing unfortunately, however the taco rice was yum and the view over the river was really beautiful. Would love to come back here again for lunch or dinner.
