Kuppila - Nara-shi

Super delicious, well seasoned and interesting food. I was so content and felt amazing after eating their vegan lunch menu and couldn't stop thinking how happy this place and its food and drinks made me. The owner is so friendly and the place is furnished with style. Coffee was hand drip and tasted like heaven, as well as the green tea latte.

My two friends and I are here on our last night in Japan and I have to say, it was the best food of our trip!! We had tried other vegan/vegetarian options but the food here was just AMAZING. It was better than any vegan food I’ve ever had in the States either. The lady running the restaurant is so kind and obviously a great cook! I am so impressed that she is able to run such a great establishment on her own. If you are in Nara, you must stop by!!

Lovely vegan restaurant. Our meal here was on of our culinary highlights during my 2019 visit. The owner suggested trying some in season plum beverage and it was lovely, something that I’ve not had the chance to drink again.

Delicious vegan food, one of the best meals of my two week trip. The lunch set (lunch special) combo was delicious, colorful, and a good value at 900 yen. Highly recommend this restaurant!

A must go place for vegetarians/vegans in Nara! We (two people) first ordered tapas, curry plate, and the karaage rice bowl, they were all good especially the rice bowl. It was TOO GOOD so that we ordered another scrambled tofu rice bowl. OMG I felt like dancing when I was having the rice bowls there. Both of them were SUPER!!! We especially appreciated the chef used different toppings in the bowls so we got to try different ingredients. The burdocks, eggplants, plum paste, nuts, ginger, pickles etc in the rice bowls were really, really tasty! We could feel the art, love, and the dedication in the dishes she prepared for us!!! Even tho we were a bit full, we couldn't help ourselves keep ordering we had the falafel and hummus!!! So authentic and even BETTER! The sauce and salad really go well with falafel. I have to say we have been to many places in Japan and this is by far THE BEST vegan restaurant, we love it so much and surprisingly the price is not expensive at all for this quality food. We hope to come back soon!!!
