MIRAIZAKA Matsuyama-Okaido — Restaurant in Matsuyama

We came here having seen that there were some vegan options (though note, the menu does not technically claim the dishes are vegan, just that the “meat” used is plant-based meat. Clarification on this would be great!). In the end we just had some fries and yakisoba. The food itself wasn’t bad, though the yakisoba only seemed to come with one small piece of “meat”, which made it seem like a mistake. The service was the real let-down. The somewhat brusque server sat us down and immediately switched the Japanese menu on the table for an English one (despite the fact that we had so far communicated entirely in Japanese and shown no evidence we understood English). Other tables were given the tablets to order with mentioned by other reviews, but for whatever reason we were not. Instead we had to quickly get an order in with the server when she swooped past and whisked away our empty plates or glasses - not that she asked if we wanted to order any more of anything. We felt like we were treated as an inconvenience, which made the ¥330 a head table charge rankle even more. If you get lucky with the staff, maybe this place could be OK. But we won’t be giving it...

I was already skeptical before going because of the other comments but I still went because I couldn't find another restaurant nearby that was offering "vegan" food, and it was that or another plain 7 Eleven dinner. To be honest I'm not even sure what I ate was vegan but it said plant-based meat and was labelled with a green "V" so... The food we ordered was not particularly good (even the non-vegan) so I wouldn't recommend this restaurant but if you're a desperate vegan it could work for you as it worked for me. Also the music sounded like it...

☆ Vegan/vegetarian options Happy to find a restaurant that amongst other dishes also served vegan and vegetarian dishes, too. I had tantanmen with soymeat and fried oyster mushrooms. Both tasted very delicious. Also ordering was super easy from a tablet that had an english language option :) Thank you...
