Suzuya - Takayama

The owners were really friendly and the food was amazing. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant when you are in Takayama.

It's a typical japanese restaurant, with a very friendly staff. I had the vegan nabemono (some veggies and tofu cooked on the table in a broth). It included edible mountain plants so basically some green veggies I never had before. It was good, but not exceptional. They also serve Hida beef, so it's a good place to go in Takayama if you're with non-vegs who want to try it.

This lovely little restaurant has a few vegan options on the menu. The staff is knowledgeable and can accommodate vegetarian requests. The atmosphere is cozy, and they took the time to explain each component of our meal. I would definitely recommend this place.

Very warm welcome, friendly accommodating staff. The vegan/vegetarian options are little and what’s more, very small portions

We had a blast at this place. Service was excellent! We weren’t ravenous so the two dishes we shared were perfect. We had the vegetarian miso soup which you boiled at the table filled with mountain vegetables and tofu and the vegetables and tofu atop miso paste that you grill on top of a leaf. It came with one side of rice and a tiny bit of edamame. If I went again I would maybe ask if I could pay for more tofu added. Definitely recommend for a fun traditional experience. It also wasn’t smokey when we went but people are grilling meat so that might bother someone.
