Lion Curry Cafe

curry Opened in 2007, this small blue-walled and antique wood themed cafe is a charming, retro delight serving delicious plates of curry and rice.

The young couple that run the place are friendly and down to earth. On the menu, there are many wonderful farm fresh ingredients on offer.

Pinkerton’s Souk

p1120208 Chai and Cheesecake, Indian curry plates and samosas are the reasons people come back regularly to Pinkerton’s Souk. It is a small, friendly little shop tucked on the 2F of a building behind Hiroshima’s YMCA. Started in the days when “ethnic” foods and cafes were the only alternative, they have hung in over the years while the surroundings have changed, coffee shops and noodle shops now surround it, and yet it is still a quiet and charming spot to escape for a drink and a snack or light meal.

Cusco Cafe

Cusco Cusco cafe, run by long-term resident Peruvian brother and sisters, have become an important part of the thriving international community here. This place is a pivotal point for many of our international residents and visitors. Cusco, and their sister restaurant Tinto, are two of the only multilingual restaurants in the city- Spanish, English and Japanese speakers will all feel very comfortable here.

As they are open everyday of the year (no holidays) from 9am-11pm (last order), Cusco’s is a great resource for residents and travelers who want a decent meal at a decent price anytime of day.

Jerk Kitchen

Jerk Plate Located along a small tram street, just around the corner from the Dobashi streetcar stop, is a small eatery paying homage to Jamaican jerk spiced grilled meats. Run by a couple who through a love of Reggae music became fans of the jerk spices when the owner visited Jamaica many years ago. If you wander near just before opening time you will smell the sweet and savory spices cooking on the meat floating down the whole street. Once inside, it feels like you wandered into a beach shack- there are seats around the counter and two small tables to squeeze into- but for tasty dishes with low prices, no one is complaining.
