About this place
At animo Plus, even the time spent choosing from the lunch order sheet is part of the pleasure of its “choose-your-own meal”. Reviews describe selecting 5 dishes from around 10 options, served with rice and soup. Choices include spinach and mushroom quiche and tofu shumai with prawns and edamame; add fried chicken or potato-salad croquettes for a plate that brings together vegetable dishes and more substantial bites. Diners have shared plates featuring quiche, tofu shumai, pork ginger stir-fry and teriyaki chicken, with one reviewer saying the meal left them thoroughly full.
A lunch built around choosing several sides also lends itself to ordering different dishes with a companion and sharing the ones that catch your eye. With plenty of options, it is worth seeing what is available on the day before deciding. For after lunch, there are cakes and bagels. The menu lists a tofu brownie made without butter or eggs, coffee cheesecake made with drip coffee, and a walnut and fig bagel, among other items. One diner ordered a plate with 5 kinds of cake and enjoyed both the sweets and time spent in the café. It is another appealing option when you are in the mood for a proper dessert.
animo Plus is in Hannancho, Abeno, Osaka. It is described as having goods and tableware on the 1 floor and a dining space on the 2 floor. After choosing a meal, you can browse the items on display or linger over something sweet with coffee or tea. This is a café where a visit need not end with lunch.
