Great food and nice vibes - Edit
Really quaint spot in Shinjuku with a super welcoming vibe. There was no lunch menu (as far as I could tell) just a vegan curry that you could customise with toppings but it was really tasty. If you can get the table by the window where you sit on the ground rather than on chairs you get a great view out of the crossroads outside.

Creative vegan dishes, intimate vibe - Edit
Compact and intimate restaurant serving creative, aesthetic, homemade vegan dishes. For lunch they only have one dish - a hearty curry with vegetables and rice, to which you can add many toppings (with an extra fee). For dinner there's a larger menu with options ranging from crispy vegetable galettes to fried mushrooms, pasta dishes to rice dishes. Note that there's a 500 yen cover charge which includes bread and you must order at least one drink at dinner time. They have a good selection of natural wines, and I loved their cacao wine. Staff are very warm, attentive, and welcoming. The ambiance was great, with dim lights, live music (occasionally), and eclectic decor. Convenient location within walking distance of Shinjuku.

Mer is a delightfully cozy spot away from the hustle and bustle of Shinjuku. Their curry set was delicious and warming. The staff were also very friendly.

Beautiful unique setting great food - Edit
We had difficulty finding Mer at first. The location in Apple Maps took us 800m away. But we were determined. It’s 250m from Shinjuku-gyoemmae station if that helps anyone.
Read moreThe setting is homely, warm, welcoming and wholesome. It felt special.
The staff were beautiful.
Food delicious. Service relaxing. The music is live and lovely. It felt like being at a friends house.
We had, pickles, hummus, grilled vegetables, Japanese mushrooms, fried rice balls. For Drinks, we tried the house made soda. The Japanese Forrest soda was sooo good.
I’m so happy we found this place.
Pros: Great food and flavour , Beautiful staff (some sing and play piano), Warm and relaxing
Cons: Hard to find

Cosy cute place - Edit
We stumbled across this place by chance, and I’m very glad we did - the staff / owners are super delightful and friendly, and are genuinely interested in getting to know their customers. The vegan options are marked clearly (though the menu is in Japanese so some clever use of Google translate is required) and the dishes we tried were superb. Homemade hummus made from scratch in front of our eyes, homemade rice flour bread (I only wish we were given more of this) and the ‘whimsical’ fried rice was great. Food took a little while on account for there only being one chef, but it was worth it.
