With a few branches dotted around Osaka, Elmer's Green Cafe is sure to provide you with a good cup of coffee, and some delicious fresh bakes. From the traditionally British scone zhuzhed up with some peanut puree and cream cheese, to the hearty sandwiches for the savoury toothed, a trip to Elmers guarantees a good lunch.  

Locals and discerning tourists alike flock to Honke Shibato for their superb grilled unagi bowls. From a river fish merchant 800 years ago to a booming restaurant spot in Osaka, it's safe to say that Honke Shibato are masters of their craft. Take their speciality Osaka mamushi, or the Ohitsu mamush if you're feeling like a little more jazz. 

Head here for the chicken yakitori, stay for the excellent vibe and dreamy-design setting. Chef Yoshitomo Ishii has furnessed the skill of fine dining, serving up the most delicious food in the neighbourhood. Sit by the bar and watch the magic unfold beneath your very eyes. 

It can be a tough decision to decide between the oasis of eateries in Osaka. If you're in the mood for an easy lunch, or a laid-back dinner, however, then Naniwa Okina won't disappoint. Serving up handmade soba noodles in a scrumptiously, slurpable broth, no matter the season this spot is one of our go-to's.
