Roots Cafe - Hakuba

I'm really happy to see that Roots is running in the winter season 2020/2021. They have a smaller menu, however it's tasty as always. Thank you for being the vegan outpost in Hakuba!

Location of this cafe is inconvenient for those who walking, but better for skiing people. Because it’s located on the hill next to the slope. They do not pick up the phone, so, we decided to trust information provided by Google maps and walked up to the hill. Falafels are not gluten free But curry is Good for vegan and vegetarians menu, looking good deserts (unfortunately gluten), pizzas Taste of curry like jp curry I recommend this place if you are nearby or have a car Wold be good if Falafel Brothers open cafe at the big ski area, like Hakuba 47

The staff is very friendly and the food was very good. I was very happy to see a vegan restaurant there. The atmosphere in the cafe part is very cozy and enjoyable.

The nori battered tofu fish and temperoni pizza are killer. I love this place! Great plant based restaurant right on the slopes

Fantastic little gem we found on the mountain. It is by far the least crowded eatery on the mountain during ski season as it is not on the trail maps. Getting to it can be a little bit tricky as it is is beneath a double black run but you can come around from skiers left and traverse across to it. Very friendly atmosphere and the prices were reasonable (as far as on-mountain prices can be). As it is a vegetarian/vegan place, the food options are mildly limited although it does have popular western food such as burgers and pizza. The soy-meat spaghetti Bolognese seemed to be the most popular dish there and tasted exactly like regular beef Bolognese. There was no queue to order and about 10 customers in the place so it had a very relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Would absolutely highly recommend this place to get away from the crowds on the Hakuba ski slopes.
