Veg Out is one of the few cafes or restaurants in Kyoto where vegans and vegetarians can enjoy a healthy meal in line with their lifestyle. You must try their Buddha Bowl which consisted of homemade falafel, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, surrounded by fresh seasonal greens. A “special sauce” was drizzled on top which was creamy with a citrus twist. Everything was served on a bed of brown rice which was a nice change to the white rice normally served in Japan. A soup of the day is free as a starter. The other options for the day were an Obanzai Vegetable Plate with vegetables steamed, fried, pickled and stewed or the Open Sandwich with vegan taco meat and guacamole.
