Vegan restaurant Cafe kotonoki — Restaurant in Himeji

Amazing food in Himeji just minutes from the castle. I went there for dinner after a long day of walking and I was glad I did because the food was wonderful! I had the vegan karaage set meal and it was more than a good sized portion. It also came with little bits and pieces to go with the main meal and each was as delightful as the other. Had to make room for dessert too and went for the chocolate gateau and it was so rich and full of chocolate flavour. You could tell it was baked by the chef too as she pulled it out of the baking tin and cut me slice. And the best thing is that the owner/chef has a talk with yoi during quiet times and it was brilliant to learn little bits about...

We found this amazing vegan place just few minutes away from Himeji castle, so very conveniently located. The menu is richly crafted and everything is prepared with so much care. The food is very delicious and filling. The staff is welcoming and nice and they also speak English. We were there for lunch and after our visit to the castle we went back to the place for dessert. We got the softest caramel nuts muffin and the most delicious chocolate...

The service and food is absolutely wonderful. Genuine local hospitality experience, the owner speaks fantastic English also. Very accomodating for allergens (gluten free), and all food is vegetarian or vegan friendly. Highly recommend regardless of dietary needs.

Tried the taco rice meal, Karaage meal, coffee jelly (amazing) and a few other desserts and drinks available. Very close to Himeji castle and great for a refreshing treat...
