Kawaneko Katsu & Coffee is a Japanese cafe at 62 Elm Row in Edinburgh. Its playful cat-themed interior and small gift selection give the venue an individual personality while the food remains the main reason to visit.
Katsu curry is a signature choice, pairing a crisp cutlet with rice and a warming Japanese-style curry sauce. Onigiri, tonjiru soup and other set-meal dishes bring the feel of an everyday Japanese lunch counter to the menu.
Desserts and coffee make the cafe equally suitable for a lighter afternoon stop. The combination of savoury meals, Japanese sweets and hot drinks allows visitors to choose anything from a complete lunch to a brief coffee break.
Food can be eaten in or taken away, and the compact setting favours an informal visit. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should confirm current ingredients, frying arrangements and cross-contact procedures with staff before ordering.
