Cafe ABSINTHE

Really liked the feel of the place (wall artwork, music) and the choice of drinks. It has a nice pub feel to it with really fast and courteous service. Reasonably priced and decent food, place starts filling up by late evening and remains open till late which is not the case usually. Another nice thing is that it has decent veg options including the brilliant mushroom risotto and the bruschetta! Plus the cocktails (Negroni) and collection of burbons are worth a try. Do visit if you are around the Shinsaibashi-Suji area and you will not be disappointed!

Not gonna lie, but as a vegan I find most of the vegan options at non-vegan restaurants often lacking or just an afterthought. I was really surprised by how abundant and delicious their vegan dinner plate was. If you get here between 17:00 and 19:00, it's available for only ¥1300 and there was so much food. It was a little bit of everything and all the components, from the roasted veggies, pickles, falafels, hummus and moussaka was delicious. It's usually hard to find good hummus anywhere, but the one here is smooth, creamy, with the right amount of seasoning. I would highly recommend this place if you're a vegan and traveling with omnivores as there's something for everyone. The cocktails also looked tempting but sadly we weren't drinking that night. Maybe next time.

Loved the place, kind servers, food was delicious. Ordered vegetarian pasta, vegan burger and some salad, it was excellent. Drinks were made nicely. Nice ambiance.

Had a vegan Mousaka (in Osaka). Which was the main reason for me to go here to be able to say so. It was part of the vegan plate, which had hummus, falafel and other stuff. Plenty of fresh food. Service is good, a friendly lad who recommended me other places the day before when they only had Christmas reservations.

Highly recommend this place to hang out with a group of friends. It is more of a bar with a decent menu than a restaurant with a bar. I got the hummus and falafel; both of which were nevertheless delicious if a bit small proportioned for the price. Topped it off with a mid-range absinthe tradionally served (sugar cube, flame, etc.). The absinthe was excellent!

This review is solely on the apple pie I ordered. It is different from your classic American apple pie. They take a whole apple, skin it but do not slice it up. There is a hole in the middle in which they add some cinnamon and sugary liquid in the middle. Then it is covered and baked in a pie crust. When you break it open this magical gooeyness of the liquid slowly leaks out. It is also served with soy milk ice cream. Which makes any apple pie top notch. If I come back I would like to try different things on the menu. This is not a 100% vegan restaurant but they have tons of options. From middle eastern foods, falafel plates, shashuka, hummus plates to pizza, pastas and burgers. Pretty extensive menu for a non vegan restaurant.

Was happy to find seats outside. The chicken lunchtime salad plate was excellent. Very happy

Amazing place with a 900 yen lunch menu. Vegan options widely available. I loved the flavour and it was a good portion. Especially the pita was soft and fluffy and paired so nicely with the hummus.
