Signature
Falafel pita sandwich with hummus
Falafel Brothers Shibuya is the third and newest outpost of a small Israeli-run vegan chain that started as a street-food stand in Roppongi in 2017 — and on PARCO's seventh floor it still wears its counter-service roots, even inside a fashion mall. Order at the counter: a half pita starts at 550 yen, built to order with a base of lettuce, kale, or spinach and two toppings picked from around a dozen fillings, or step up to the 950 yen set with soup, wedges, and a drink. The falafel itself — dense, well-spiced chickpea fritters fried to order — is the reason regulars come back, but the fried karaage and vegan gyoza are worth flagging too if pita fatigue sets in.
The room does more with a shopping-mall unit than most: a painted blue sky and a Shibuya cityscape mural wrap the walls, and a falafel-shaped sculpture doubles as a communal table, splitting the difference between the original Roppongi stand's street energy and the café calm of the Ebisu branch. It's compact — 12 counter seats, 10 at tables — so solo diners drifting in between PARCO floors fit easily, but larger groups on a Friday night should expect a short wait.
A few practicals worth knowing before you go: it's walk-in only, no reservations taken, and while cash works, credit cards and e-money are both accepted (no QR pay). The whole kitchen runs 100% plant-based — there's no shared fryer with meat or dashi-based stock to worry about, which is rarer reassurance than it sounds in Tokyo, where "vegan-friendly" often still means bonito broth off to the side somewhere. Desserts include gluten-free options too, a small bonus if you're travelling with more than one dietary restriction to juggle.

A tiny tatami-floored diner on the Shimokitazawa backstreets where every bowl of rich, medicinal-herb ramen is 100% plant-based and built on sprouted brown rice.
★ Gluten-free crust California pizza (vegan cheese option)
A Roppongi institution since 1996 where homesick Americans and coeliac travellers alike crowd the bar for craft beer and proper gluten-free crust pizza topped with vegan cheese.
AIN SOPH.'s flagship spreads across four Ginza floors, where a ground-floor patisserie of vegan pudding gives way to refined plant-based courses upstairs.
A hushed, wood-warmed Shibuya kissaten since 1989 whose charcoal-roasted hand-drip coffee, served in carefully chosen antique cups, is said to have inspired Blue Bottle's founder.
★ A5 halal-certified wagyu grilled over shichirin charcoal
Inside a creaky two-storey wooden folk house a short walk from Shibuya, A5 halal-certified wagyu sizzles over shichirin charcoal — with a prayer room upstairs.
★ Brown-rice (genmai) bread and gluten-free taiyaki
A dedicated gluten-free, rice-flour bakery counter in the basement of Shibuya Scramble Square, making breads, taiyaki and sweets with no wheat, additives or white sugar, and many items are vegan and dairy-free. It is a grab-and-go bakery rather than a sit-down meal, and as a dedicated GF facility cross-contamination risk is low though not certified celiac-safe.
★ Vegan kara-age (plant-based 'fried chicken') and vegan gyoza
A fully plant-based izakaya in the basement of Shibuya PARCO serving vegan 'fried chicken', gyoza and lemon sours, with no meat, fish, eggs, dairy or honey, so the fish-dashi trap does not apply. It is not gluten-free, as the mock-meat batters and soy sauce contain wheat.
★ Plant-based nigiri and sushi sets using vegetable alternatives to fish
A sit-down plant-based sushi restaurant in Shoto (near Shibuya) where every piece is made without seafood or animal products, so there is no fish dashi to worry about. It is not gluten-free (soy sauce and some components contain wheat); reservations are recommended and the venue opened its permanent location in late 2025.
