Falafel Garden – Northern Higashiyama

A great vegetarian restaurant in northern Kyoto, Falafel Garden specializes in the eponymous falafel, but there’s plenty more on the menu to keep things interesting.

With a hippy vibe and a friendly owner, Falafel Garden is a relaxing place for a healthy lunch while exploring things up near the north end of town. It’s a short walk from Demachiyanagi Station, which is served by both the Keihan and the Eizan lines. A short walk away you’ll find Kyoto University and the Kamo-gawa River. There’s a picture menu and the owner speaks fluent English.
