I was looking for a good restaurant for lunch on Tabelog and happened to come across this place. Drawn in by the delicious-looking menu, I made a reservation. Although they open at 12:00, when I arrived 10 minutes early, there were already a few groups of people waiting! I wasn't sure if they had reservations or if they were just lining up, but it seems to be quite popular. Inside, the right side is non-smoking, and the left side allows smoking. There are also two tables on the terrace. *Okay to have a meal with your dog. The people waiting in line all seemed to prefer the non-smoking section, so suddenly half of the restaurant was packed, which was a bit disappointing as the seating was a bit cramped. I ordered the Vegan Lunch. I'm not vegan at all, but I thought I'd try something different for once. You can choose between pita bread or rice. First, a pumpkin soup was brought out, and then the waiter brought the lunch. They asked me if I knew how to eat the Vegan Lunch, and when I asked, they explained that I should open the bread and sandwich the chickpea paste and other fillings inside. However, I couldn't resist and just ate everything separately at first (laughs). After that, I made a sandwich-like... kebab-like... looking dish and enjoyed it. Regardless of how you eat it, it was delicious. I thought I might miss having meat, but it was very satisfying and filled me up (laughs).

I used a private room course at night, and the room was in the basement, so ordering drinks was a bit difficult through the intercom. However, it was nice to be able to have a lively time without worrying about other customers. The food was quite tasty and looked good. The portion size was a bit small, so it seems like you need to choose the customer base carefully.

I used it for lunch. The vegetables were abundant and the portion was generous. I love falafel so I ordered it here. I'm happy to have a delicious and colorful lunch at a reasonable price. The restaurant was busy and the atmosphere was cozy and nice!

[Good points] I felt that the 900 yen price for a delicious deli one-plate and lunch soup was very reasonable. When I made a reservation, I received a coupon for a free drink service, so I also enjoyed a hot tea after the meal, which was delicious. The taste was good and the staff were friendly. [Bad points] There were smoking and non-smoking sections separated. Personally, I think it would be better if all seats were non-smoking during lunchtime, as I did not see anyone smoking even in the smoking section.

The theme of the restaurant is "healthy eating," offering Mediterranean home cooking, vegetarian, and vegan-friendly healthy foods!○Black Burger (with French fries)○Drink SetI was intrigued by this burger from the first time I saw it♪ The black buns give it a strong visual appeal! With black wagyu patty, lettuce, and tomato, the simple composition is also attractive! The fluffy black buns alone have a good texture! When you take a bite, you feel the sinking elasticity! It's so satisfying, I want to sink my teeth into it!! The patty is indeed wagyu beef, with a meaty taste that is very satisfying! If it were a bit larger, it would have an even bigger impact! The potato wedges are also very satisfying among fried potatoes! It's a pretty open dining cafe, so it's easy to enter even if you're alone, and considering the vegan menu, it's also great for girls' gatherings! The staff is friendly, making it a comfortable place to relax, perfect for taking a break during an Amerikamura stroll! Thank you for the meal.▼▼Information excerpted from various sources such as Tabelog below▼▼───・───・───・───・───【Name】Cafe ABSINTHE【Nearest Station】Yotsuhashi Station, Shinsaibashi Station【Address】1-2-27 AXIS SOUTH Yotsuhashi Building 1F, Nishi-ku, Osaka City, Osaka【Business Hours】12:00-24:00【Regular Holiday】None (Special holidays may apply)【Budget】☀️¥1,000〜¥1,999¥2,000〜¥2,999【Notes】Reservation possible (Various consultations possible!)・Credit cards, electronic money accepted・No QR code payment・No service charge・Terrace seating available・Private reservations possible・Smoking area available・Wi-Fi available・Children allowed (Baby strollers allowed○)───・───・───・───・───

I had a vegan lunch plate at Cafe Absinthe in Osaka, Shinsaibashi. The vegan lunch at Cafe Absinthe is a colorful plate. If you ask the staff, they will also teach you how to eat pita bread. Hummus is delicious as always! 900 yen (February 27, 2023) Cafe ABSINTHE 1-2-27 AXIS SOUTH Yotsuhashi Building 1F, Kita Horie, Nishi-ku, Osaka City, Osaka #cafeabsinthe #absinthe #veganlunchplate #hummus #falafel #ShinsaibashiGourmet #ShinsaibashiLunch #YotsuhashiGourmet #YotsuhashiLunch #AmericaMuraGourmet #AmericaMuraLunch #Shinsaibashi #Yotsuhashi #AmericaMura #Gunso'sStrollingLunch #Gourmet #Lunch #Salameshi #Let'sSupportRestaurants #Let'sSupportShinsaibashi #Foodie #FoodieGuys #WantToConnectWithFoodieLovers

It is located right by Yotsuya Station. They serve Mediterranean cuisine, so for lunch you can enjoy pita bread and hummus. The lunch plate is beautifully presented, so when it arrives, you'll think, "This is definitely something girls will love!" The grilled vegetables and pickles on the side were also delicious.

I had a meat lunch plate at Cafe ABSINTHE in Osaka, Shinsaibashi. The meat lunch plate on 12/22 was roast pork. It was juicy and delicious! 900 yen (December 22, 2022) Cafe ABSINTHE 1-2-27 AXIS SOUTH Yotsubashi Building 1F, Nishi-ku, Osaka City, Osaka #cafeabsinthe #absinthe #Mediterranean cuisine #meat lunch plate #roast pork #Shinsaibashi gourmet #Shinsaibashi lunch #America-mura gourmet #America-mura lunch #Gunso's wandering lunch #gourmet #lunch #salameshi #Let's support restaurants #Let's support Shinsaibashi #Foodie #Foodie guy

The appearance of the cafe bar is quite ordinary, but the menu offers many unique dishes. It seems to be Mediterranean cuisine. However, I wasn't very hungry, so I just had a drink and left. It was neither good nor bad, just average. ★Please follow if you like this review. Thank you!

Cafe ABSINTHE, located just north of Yotsubashi Station in Higashi-North Horie, is a Mediterranean restaurant that focuses on vegetables and beans. I had the daily meat lunch plate for 800 yen, which was pork something. The pita bread was delicious! The lunch was full of vegetables and healthy. They also offer a vegan lunch. With coffee (+200 yen), it came to 1000 yen in total.

When you talk about the area, it's located from America-mura to Yotsubashi-suji, near the highway entrance. It's a spacious and open restaurant where there are always foreigners (laughs). It's nice to be able to eat delicious Mediterranean cuisine on the dog-friendly terrace seats.

Located right next to the Yotsubashi entrance of the Hanshin Expressway, this restaurant is easily accessible from stations such as Shinsaibashi, Namba, and Yotsubashi. Despite being under an overpass, the restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere with its full glass windows and greenish lighting that often attracts foreign visitors. The restaurant is named after Absinthe, a herbal liqueur with an interesting history of causing hallucinations and intoxication, leading to bans and famous figures experiencing its effects. However, it is now a safe drink. The restaurant offers a variety of rare liqueurs, attracts many foreign customers, and provides shisha, creating a unique Mediterranean vibe. Start with the Shakshuka, a dish of Israeli origin consisting of minced meat in a tomato sauce with onions, garlic, and spices. It is delicious when eaten with bread. Next, try the Peperoncino, a flavorful dish with a generous amount of garlic. The main dish, Stuffed Chicken, features mushrooms and cream sauce stuffed in tender chicken, served on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes. The crispy skin and moist meat, along with the rich cream sauce and smooth mashed potatoes, make it a must-try dish. After enjoying the meal, relax with some shisha, as the restaurant has been offering it for a long time, providing a traditional and relaxing experience amidst the hustle and bustle of Minami.

Middle Eastern cuisine with a strong spice flavor. I haven't been to the Middle East, but the spices give it a unique taste, not just heat. It's a matter of personal taste, some will love it while others won't. Personally, it didn't quite hit the mark for me. The restaurant had a nice interior, good atmosphere, efficient service, and good value for money. It all comes down to whether you like this type of cuisine or not. If you want to feel like you're in Marrakech while smoking shisha, then this place is for you! I haven't been to Marrakech either, but I hope this helps!

Today, I took a break here. The lingering summer heat continues in Osaka. I took a leisurely stroll and rested. In the evening, the atmosphere is lively at the bar, but during the day, it's a quiet place to refresh at cafe time with not many customers around. The iced coffee was delicious and easy to drink, quenching my thirst. The place offers Wi-Fi, so I could relax until the bar time started. Thank you for the meal!

I visited at 23:00 and since the kitchen was closed, I only had drinks. I had an Ice Flavored Latte and a mojito. Even though I only had drinks, the atmosphere was nice and the foreign staff were polite and attentive, allowing me to have a good time. It was late, but there were quite a few people coming in for drinks.

I had a welcome party with my colleagues at this restaurant. We enjoyed a buffet with 25 types of Mediterranean dishes and all-you-can-drink for 5000 yen per person. The food was delicious. We were able to have the underground hall to ourselves as there were no other reservations, which was nice as we didn't have to worry about other people. The only downside was that it took a while for drink orders to be served, probably due to being in the basement. But overall, we were satisfied.

You can only order tapas for two people or more. It costs 2400 yen. Ordering two bento boxes from Uber Eats would have been cheaper.

The restaurant is stylish and the food is delicious. The variety of fresh fruit cocktails was great!

I went to the private room underground! There was a piano and the atmosphere was nice. The food seemed to be a matter of personal preference.

I made a reservation for the course. All the meals are delicious. Surprisingly, there is also a good amount of food, so I am very satisfied.

My friend recommended this smoothie and it was delicious! ^ - ^
