Not bad but overpriced

The macrobiotic plate was good, but for the amount the dishes are overpriced. My partner had the curry and it lacked salt and was kinda watery. I was also disappointed that the vegan matcha tiramisu isn’t available at the moment.
A plus is that they use organic ingredients!
Fortunately we were the only customers so we didn’t have to wait too long, but since the owner is preparing everything alone, you have to expect quite a long waiting time if there are more people.

One of the few gluten-free places we could find

As my wife is coeliac, we needed to find a place that could prepare gluten-free food. The owner was very flexible and he offered to open up the restaurant just to serve us.

The food was nice and the service was excellent. The owner also spoke very good English and being able to chat with him was really nice.

Overall a laid-back and warm place where to consume dinner.

A quiet, luminous vegan cafe

On a quiet street a few steps away from the highly touristic Kamakura area, I had a delicious macrobiotic lunch set with excellent miso soup.

Pros: Quiet atmosphere, Strictly vegan, Delicious and healthy food

What a fun surprise!

We’ve been in Japan for 5 days now and this is the first time we made it to a dedicated vegetarian restaurant. We would have never found the place without this app so we are very grateful. We were met by the owner/chef and had the menu explained to us what was available in fantastic English. Loved the little neighborhood/nook feel of the place. Like most little one-man eateries, don’t come if you are in a hurry. Everyone was happy with their meal!

Great Ambience

You're paying a premium for organically sourced foods, however, the plate wasn't overall too overpriced and I enjoyed the simple, clean flavoring. It's also definitely Japanese sized meal which may disappoint some tourists.

Please not that the burger is NOT a soy-faux meat style burger that has become insanely popular lately. It's an 'OG' veggie burger focused on vegetables and hemp, so don't expect a 'meat-like' flavor. I quite liked it.

Since it was pretty quiet when I went the wait wasn't TOO long but definitely slightly above average. The owner is a good chat if you can speak some Japanese and he was telling us about the farms the food is sourced from all around Japan. There's also a brouchure about the farms but I didn't understand much of it since my kanji-fu is not very high.

Pros: Clean, Organic Food, Traditionalist Veggie Burger

Cons: Slightly Expensive, Potentially long wait for food

Pleasant food and great ambiance

The place is really calm and cozy with its wooden structure and the music was nice. The macrobiotic set was good and the miso soup was flavorful. The owner, who made the meal, asked if I had some questions about the meal and answered them, that was so nice of him. He speaks english so we had a pleasant discussion.

Extremely long wait and overpriced

Unfortunately, the place could not live up to the expectations. I should’ve checked google reviews sooner to find out that it has indeed a relatively lower score than other places. The price is steep (1760 yen) and the volume is low. Besides, it takes a reaaaaally long time (40 min) for the single owner to prepare everything. It’s not efficient and the food is not special. Not worth the price at least. I wonder what took him so long, many parts of the dish could’ve been prepared beforehand. Sadly the other vegan place was closed on Sunday but maybe check happy cow for other options in Kamakura because this ain’t it.

Not the best

Couldn’t order what we wanted due to them being sold out of veggie burger Patties, ended up ordering the curry. Waited over an hour for the food. Staff person was only one person working on cooking and serving so it took forever…the salad was super salty.

Pros: Off the main road so quiet atmosphere.

Cons: Not the best experience unfortunately.

Amazing place!

I went here for breakfast and lunch during my stay in kamakura and thoroughly enjoyed both types. The ambiance is inviting and the food is natural and tasty. The manager is really friendly as well and helped me with my Japanese! (And even went to the nearby conbeni to get soya milk to go with my coffee 😍)

Pros: Local produce , Friendly staff, Inviting ambiance

Cons: Limited choices

Nice Food, Kind Staff

The lady was very kind to prep the meal though it's past the timing of the shop, when she learnt that I am vegan Had the macrobiotic set and it was good. If you don't take garlic and onion, this may be the only set available and let the staff know so that they exclude the miso soup.

Excellent food and Atmosphere

Everything is either vegan or vegetarian. I've been here a couple of time and so I've tried the 3 main dishes. Everything was so flavorful. I'm not a fan of onions but they made them taste good somehow. The restaurant design, music, and atmosphere is very relaxing. And the staff is friendly too. Great for foreigners and Japanese. 

Pros: Many vegan options , Price is not that high for what you get.

Good burger

English below👇 長谷駅の近くにある『natudeco』に行ってきました。

本道から奥ばった所にある比較的静かな店で、店内も緑と天窓があり、明るい雰囲気です。

今回注文したのは、『ベジバーガー』です。
サイドに付いていたポテトが驚くほど甘く、一瞬サツマイモかと思ったほどです。
メインのハンバーガーはボリューム満点で、野菜もシャキシャキで新鮮でした。分厚いパティは柔らかかったので、もう少し焦げ目と歯応えが欲しいと思いました。

比較的混んでいたのに関わらず、スタッフの対応も早く、全く苛立ちを感じませんでした。機会があったら是非また行きたいです。

Natudeco is a charming little vegetarian cafe, tucked away on a side street in Kamakura (closest station: Hase). The space is bright and airy, with high ceilings and skylights.

We sat at the counter and ordered the veggie burger, which I was very pleased with. The bun was freshly toasted and fluffy, the patty and the toppings were fresh, and the piping hot potato wedges were nice too.

Natudeco is a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas of Kamakura. I think you’ll enjoy your time here.

Good food, a bit expensive

Food is reasonably good, but slightly overpriced and the matcha tiramisu was kind of tasteless.
