I visited vegecafe＋α during my break time. Although I was interested in the healthy lunch option "Kago Gozen," I ended up just having gelato during our chat time after lunch. ☆CUP Double/800yen Organic pretzel included - Kyoto New Vegan Cheese-style White Miso - Limited time sorbet: Wakayama Momogengokyo Peach The "Kyoto New Vegan Cheese-style White Miso" gelato is rich and smooth without using animal products, making it a healthy choice. The "Wakayama Momogengokyo Peach" sorbet was very rich and delicious. It was nice to have a pretzel included. I had a good time in the calm atmosphere and enjoyed the gelato. Thank you for the meal.

Whenever I go, it's always delicious. I always end up ordering the Kago Gozen and the gelato with various flavors to choose from. It's packed with vegetables so I don't feel guilty. The interior is calm and although it's a bit pricey, it makes me feel luxurious during lunchtime.

I stopped by this cafe while waiting for my Italian meal, a 10-minute walk from Nakajima Station. The interior was bright and spacious, with a very nice atmosphere. The green tea I ordered was sweeter than I expected, but overall it was a very cozy space for a cafe. Thank you for the meal!

At this shop with gelato on display, I ordered a set of gelato and lunch as my departure time from Shin-Osaka was approaching. Despite it being a Saturday afternoon, the shop was filled with local people of all ages, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Feeling hungry, I ordered the spicy curry in a large portion (laughs). It was vegetarian but incredibly delicious. The spices were just right, and you could tell that each ingredient was carefully prepared. The salad was also tasty. And for dessert, I had the pistachio gelato, which was the 3rd most popular flavor. I chose it after seeing the actual selection outside, and it was rich and flavorful. I also ordered a coffee, which was delicious as well. It was a great lunchtime experience!

First visit to a cafe. A dear friend who I love and cherish came to Osaka. Walked from Shin-Osaka Station. Made a reservation in advance. Despite being in the city, there was a lot of greenery and the interior of the store was spacious with a relaxed atmosphere. The staff were kind and polite, creating a relaxed atmosphere. We had pre-ordered the "Vegetable Cafe Kago Gozen" together, so we were relieved even though it was sold out. After entering, we selected our main dishes to order. I chose the chicken and my companion chose the roast beef. First, we had pumpkin potage. It had a gentle flavor and was comforting. The dishes were also gentle yet flavorful. There were many items on the menu and the seasoning was not monotonous, so it was not boring. We ordered gelato after the meal. There were many flavors to choose from. I ordered something with Belgian chocolate. It was rich and flavorful without being too heavy, and it was delicious. I wanted to chat with my friend in the relaxed atmosphere, but there was an acrylic board between us, which was frustrating. The staff were also relaxed and courteous, creating a nice atmosphere. It was a happy lunch. Thank you for the meal.

A healthy lunch menu with a lot of female customers. I visited with my child, but the options for children are limited. However, it is highly recommended for those with a healthy mindset. There are a decent number of seats, including table, sofa, and terrace seating. If you choose the terrace, make sure to take proper mosquito precautions!

On this day, I had a promise to meet up with a friend after several years. I was looking for a place to have lunch and then I remembered a restaurant I visited a few years ago, so I made a reservation there! Since I hadn't visited since the pandemic started, I checked the restaurant's Instagram, made a reservation for a seat and lunch menu in advance, and visited. The cafe is surrounded by greenery and has a stylish and natural atmosphere, just like before. When I arrived at the restaurant, I was shown to my seat. I ordered the Veggie Cafe Kago Gozen for 1,350 yen. When I visited in June, the menu for the Kago Gozen was as follows: - Burdock-coated chicken tempura with pickled shallot tartar sauce - Deep-fried eggplant with myoga ginger - Colorful vegetable bean marinade - Stuffed bell pepper - Grilled zucchini with pepper cheese - Pumpkin and potato mash - Tofu and tomato green salad with onion sesame dressing - Rice - Corn soup Everything was delicious, with the ingredients being well utilized and the seasoning being wonderful. It was a bit lacking in vegetables, but it seems like a place where you can recharge your body when you're feeling tired. I also added a coffee to my order later, as we got carried away chatting. The coffee cup was also stylish and cute. Thank you for the meal!

I stumbled upon a very cute cafe by chance. Although it was last minute, they kindly allowed me to order food and gelato. The salad had a miso-flavored onion and eggplant with crunchy vegetables and carrot dressing. The curry rice was not only cute but also quite spicy, and I couldn't stop eating it! I also tried the gelato that has won awards at the World Gelato Contest for 3 consecutive years, and it was incredibly delicious. The rice flour cookie with rich and refreshing rum raisin ice cream disappeared in no time! There are also many flavors of ice cream available, and I would love to try their lunch set, so I definitely want to visit again.

It was a popular oasis in the business district for health-conscious individuals. The staff were friendly, and you could tell that the dishes were carefully handmade. It's great that they are open on Sundays. It's nice to see more vegetarian and vegan-friendly restaurants popping up in cities like Osaka. You really feel the difference in your body when you eat food that is less taxing on your system.

■ VegeCafe+α is a cafe located in Nishinakajima Minamikata. They have won awards at a gelato competition for three consecutive years. The cafe was decorated for Christmas, which was very cute. Today, I had the December lunch set. The VegeCafe special set for ¥1,320 includes: ・Burdock and Shiitake Mushroom Menchi Katsu with Homemade Sauce ・Napa Cabbage, Shimeji Mushroom, and Tuna in Lemon Cream Sauce ・Marinated Turnip and Carrot ・Dried Radish Spicy Curry ・Broccoli and Tomato Tartar Sauce ・Spinach Mousse ・Lotus Root with Spicy Cod Roe ・Pumpkin and Potato Potage ・Rice with Pickles. Being able to enjoy so many different side dishes was very satisfying. Thank you to those who reacted to my story saying it looks delicious. Please visit this cafe if you have the chance! ◌

I finally made it here! I've been curious for a while. During the hot summer, I sometimes crave something a little tangy, so I ordered Cassis Orange and Mango Orange. They seem to be popular as vegan gelato made without dairy. The lunch menu also looks delicious, so I want to come back again!

【Nishinakajima Minamikata Gourmet】#Are you getting enough vegetables? I often think about eliminating the lack of vegetables in my diet, although it doesn't completely make up for it, I try to regularly seek out vegetables and engage in a veggie lifestyle haha. So, I visited vegecafe +α located a 7-minute walk from the station in a quiet residential area in Minamikata. This place offers vegetable-rich, body-friendly menu with a theme of promoting a healthy and abundant lifestyle. And guess what?

I happened to pass by this place and decided to stop in for dessert after having lunch at a nearby restaurant. The shop boasts about winning the Italy Gelato Competition for three consecutive years, which got me excited. I ordered the Salty Milk from Hokkaido to Okinawa and the Ninja - a Gelato Double with Caramel Cheese Mousse Cake & Roasted Caramel Rice. Unfortunately, the award-winning gelato was sold out, so I went with the Salty Milk, which was visually stunning and delicious. The atmosphere of the shop was great, run by a lady named Yoshiko. Thank you for the meal.

This place is located in Minamikoshijima, and I used to go there for lunch on weekdays! The stylish interior and the vegetable cafe's lunch box (limited quantity) with a variety of side dishes made with seasonal vegetables. It's a visually pleasing Japanese meal that allows you to enjoy the season. The menu changes monthly, and it comes with vegetable soup. They also have a thick beef hamburger plate with 180g of juicy hamburger, homemade mashed potatoes, and a special demi-glace sauce made with plenty of wine. It comes with a salad full of vegetables and a choice of bread or rice. They seem to be participating in a gelato competition, so they were promoting gelato. I didn't try it this time because it might be cold, but it looks interesting!

I was on a business trip to Nishinakajima Minamikata and couldn't really get away from the office for lunch. But on the last two days when my replacement came, I finally got to go out for lunch. I found a restaurant I had my eye on through a search on Tabelog and decided to give it a try. On the first day, I arrived late and the lunch set I wanted was already sold out. So I ended up ordering a salad plate. To be honest, I was skeptical about having just salad for lunch. But when it arrived, the vegetables were beautifully arranged and the homemade bread was delicious. Surprisingly, I felt satisfied after finishing it. I also couldn't resist ordering gelato, which was incredibly tasty. On the second day, I was determined to try the lunch set in a basket that I missed out on the day before. I contacted the restaurant in advance and finally got to enjoy the cute and delicious basket lunch. Some may find the flavors subtle, but I enjoyed the variety and felt it was worth it. The lovely and charming staff made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience.

I visited a store in the Nishinakajima office district, a little off the beaten path, where greenery stands out. There are terrace seats with tents set up next to the entrance, creating a calm and lovely atmosphere. Inside the store, potted plants are arranged, and sunlight shines through the window glass from outside, making it look like a scene from a drama. However, the web information at the beginning was disappointing as it seemed outdated and not updated. The store opens at 10:30 am on Saturdays instead of 10 am, and the 20-item vegetable lunch set is no longer available. The current lunch menu includes three options: vegetable, curry, and hamburger curry. I ordered the curry and was impressed by its beautiful presentation. The curry had a spicy and tangy taste, reminiscent of Thai flavors. I have been to Thailand many times, so I am confident in my judgment. The nuts scattered throughout the curry helped balance out the acidity. This is a recommended place for women to visit with friends.

I visited this place after a long time and was surprised to find that two other places I had in mind were full. This restaurant used to be livelier, but now it seems a bit quiet and geared towards women. The menu has changed and the portions are on the smaller side, which left me feeling unsatisfied. In the end, I ended up buying snacks at a convenience store. I hope they offer healthier options with more filling portions in the future. Thank you for the meal.

Dessert Buffet Mania Amako's Christmas Dessert Buffet at a Vegetable Garden Cafe in the Heart of the City♪ ※The following is the system used during my visit ♦️Dates: December 14th and 15th, 2019 ♦️Time: 11:00-15:00 90 minutes ♦️Price (tax included): 1650 yen without drinks ♦️Lineup [Sweets]: Cheesecake / Mixed Berry Mousse / 5 Berry Tart / Swiss Roll / Chocolate and Nut Stick / Mini Dorayaki / Carrot Cake / Petit Choux Cream Puff / Financier 2 types (Black Tea, Matcha) / Baked Donuts / Tapioca Coconut Milk / Coffee Jelly / Mandarin Almond Tofu / Chocolate Marshmallow Pizza / Zenzai with Black Rice Cake (Order Service) [Light Meals]: Carrot and Celery Marinade / Rosemary Potatoes / Chunky Vegetable and Chicken Wine Stew / Mixed Rice Pilaf / Short Pasta with Winter Vegetables ♦️Cafe Christmas Event (2 days only) ♦️Self-service buffet with sweets and meals ♦️No drinks (water is self-service) Located in a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle near Shin-Osaka Station, the cafe "Vege Cafe + α" has its own vegetable garden on the rooftop. As the name suggests, this shop has a strong focus on vegetables, and their popular menu item is the "Basket Lunch" featuring additive-free vegetables. This time, I participated in the Christmas event with a sweets buffet at the cafe♪ The cafe has a stylish interior with a wood-like design and is divided into two rooms, making it spacious. The buffet table was placed in the back room. I imagined a small buffet table for a city cafe, but the main table had a more dynamic lineup of sweets than expected. The Christmas-themed displays with ornaments and wooden boxes were cute. Instead of tongs, chopsticks were used for serving, which was a nice touch. On a separate table, there were meals and a stew simmering with plenty of chicken wings, which was a feast for the eyes! The sweets, while simple, were all homemade and had a gentle taste. The cakes, glasses, and baked goods offered a wide variety. Though many items were simple, the Financier and the coffee jelly made from freshly roasted coffee were surprisingly delicious. The most popular item, the cheesecake, was perfectly square with a beautiful crust. This was also my number one favorite! The Zenzai with black rice cake can be ordered, and they will bring you freshly baked rice cakes. The unique texture seemed good for the body. The chicken wine stew was still the main highlight! It didn't have a strong wine flavor and was unexpectedly more Japanese in taste. It seemed like something even children could enjoy. The chicken was cooked to perfection, and the whole egg was beautifully soaked in color. It's irresistible in winter! There were also pilaf, short pasta, and other items, making it enjoyable as a lunch option. The replenishment was done promptly, and it was a very well-balanced sweets and lunch buffet. At 1500 yen (tax excluded), it was quite a bargain for a central location in Osaka. I'm grateful to the staff for their excellent service even before the buffet started. Thank you for the meal!

Today's adventure is to conquer the nearby lunch spots near my workplace in Nishi-Nakajima. The chosen destination is "vegecafe＋α (Vege Cafe Plus Alpha)" for the first visit. It is a cafe with a calm and pleasant atmosphere. The lunch menu options are as follows: - A Lunch: 20 vegetable deli plate + 3 types of natural yeast bread for 950 yen - B Lunch: 20 vegetable deli plate + today's main dish + rice for 1,100 yen or with bread for 1,300 yen Despite going over budget and breaking the rules, I ordered the B Lunch because I wanted the main dish. Soon after, the deli plate was served, and it was a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds. The main dish was then served, beautifully presented and delicious. Overall, it was a satisfying meal for 1,100 yen.

It's a cute cafe where I like to go alone when I want to relax. I haven't tried their food menu, but I use it as a cafe. The cakes and drinks are delicious, but I especially like the atmosphere of the place. I always stop by for dessert after a meal. ♫
