If you are a vegetarian/vegan and traveling to Osaka,
OPTIMUS CAFE would be something you want to try out.
Since I live close to Osaka, I frequently go to OPTIMUS CAFE and would like to share this place with you all.
OPTIMUS CAFE
(buddha ball plate is one of my favorites from OPTIMUS CAFE)
OPTIMUS CAFE is a cafe/restaurant located in Osaka's central area.
The best thing about OPTIMUS CAFE is that it can be a cafe or a restaurant depending on what time you go and what type of food you will order.
Non-Vegan people can also enjoy a lot
(Me and my friend at OPTIMUS CAFE)
When I first came to this place, I took my partner and one of my best friends who are non-vegan.
I was kind of worried that they do not like the vegan dish, but that anxiety was all gone when we step into the place.
The menu looked very fine, soy meat-Karaage, fried toy balls (like a meatball), and various types of their original vegan dishes were just super good to satisfy anyone.
The atmosphere is also amazing since the restaurant is located by the riverside, so while you enjoy your meal or chat, you can take a look at the beautiful Yodo-river next to you.
By the way, my friend in this picture told me that he went to OPTIMUS CAFE by himself after our first visit.
The plate is QUITE BIG
Autumn Vegan Buddha Bowl
If you are a big eater, that is completely fine.
The plate they serve is quite big, so if you have your lunch here, you will have full energy charged to enjoy the whole day Osaka trip.
They offer the option to add on more brown rice, or you can choose to decrease the amount of brown rice.
I eat a lot so I usually add more brown rice.
Menu
Here is the menu; they sell vegan pastries as well.
Such a nice place...

*The transit at Osaka station would be something bit difficult. If you are a chill walk lover, I do suggest you take a walk from Osaka main station to OPTIMUS CAFE. If the weather is nice, it will not take more than 30 minutes if you follow the Google Maps direction.*
Hope your next travel to Osaka is fantastic.
