Rainbow bird rendez-vous

What we ordered was a surprise to us, we were not sure what we were ordering.
Despite the English name, and despite the fact that the staff could speak some English, the menu was in Japanese, and the waitress was not able to explain in English what the dishes were. Nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere and the friendly service.


My main dish was an onigiri, pickled vegetable& salad, and miso soup- a light but satisfying meal.


Dean got this noodle based dish topped with fresh lettuce and mock meat drizzled in a yummy sauce.


For dessert Dean got slice of chocolate cake. Mine was a warm crepe served with ice-cream. Oishi!


After we finished our meal we walked around the beautiful lantern lined streets of Naka-meguro.  There was a busy grocery store on the left in the photo underneath.

Deva Deva Cafe

This place was hard to find- I got lost- so folks my advice would be print out the map before you go.
The cafe has lovely interiors- with filtered light through the glass windows.


My burger was nice. This was the first place in Tokyo that we found wholemeal bread. We had not seen wholemeal bread anywhere else. After a over a week of eating white bread this was a refreshing change.


Dean had mushroom& mock meat burger& chunky cut chips.



Drum roll! Deva deva cafe is my favourite place for vegan dessert in Japan the world. My first dessert was a white chocolate and berry mousse. This was divine!


Dean had a chocolate mousse.


Dean's chocolate triffle- chocolate ice-cream, banana, sponge cake, whipped cream, and dark chocolate.



My second dessert, despite my bulging stomach, was heavenly! It was a trifle with red beans, mung beans vanilla ice-cream, and whipped cream. We stayed in Tokyo for a week and I did not have a chance to go back. But it is on my to do list to eat dessert then when we go to Japan in 2012.

Brown rice cafe-Omotesando

One of the best vegan restaurants we've been to in Japan. We ate there 3 times. One of the books available for the customers to read was the vegan cook book-  The conscious cook by Tal Ronnen. He wrote on the first page- something along the lines of- To the staff at Brown Rice cafe, best vegan food I've had in Japan.

I especially love the bento lunch- food in tiny bites bursting with colours and flavours.




The little cupcakes with a dollop of tofu cream and mint served on the side. It is tiny, typical of the portion sizes in Japan.

Open daily until 9pm

Another time we ate there we ended up ordering the same dish- tofu and vegetables in a sweet and sour sauce with a few sides including pickles and miso soup. As you can see we could not make up our mind what to drink, hence the green tea latte, iced tea, and water.
