That's right you read correctly. This 100% vegan establishment is cleverly named Vegan Cafe! It opened up this year in Hiroo, Tokyo and I've wanted to check it out for a while but just never made it there until now! Let's see how it went.... :) My first impressions of Vegan Cafe were pretty great actually. It's bright, relatively spacious and had several plants and flowerpots dotted around making it seem like you just stepped into a mini jungle (a major plus in my book!) The menu looked a bit small at first but regardless everything on there was unique and looked delicious. The food served is more of a western-style menu, whereas the all-you-can-eat buffet was a Japanese-style buffet consisting mainly of fried or simmered veggies and traditional Japanese dishes. We ordered the creamy mushroom pasta and the vegan burger as well as fresh lemonade as a set. It was a very hot day and reached about 36 degrees in the city so its safe to say this lemonade was not only delicious but probably saved my life! Both the pasta and the burger were very well made and attention had clearly been paid to making the burger patty full of flavor and not dry like many tend to be. My mushroom pasta was creamy but also fresh and the mushrooms were cooked in a way that made them almost meaty in texture and really yummy. Luckily the Hiroo area of Tokyo has many foreign residents which is probably one of the reasons why this place has been so successful. During our meal we saw many other foreigners and tourists coming to try out the place and it seemed that some of the staff were able to speak enough English to communicate with customers which is a great thing for visitors to Japan. I really hope i get a chance to come here again and it would be nice to see if they have a winter or autumn menu on the go soon!
