    Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Souwamachi 1-55-3
    This French restaurant is located a five-minute walk from JR Takayama Station right next to the Kokubunji-higashi intersection. The owner-chef has served the finest French cuisine using local Hida Takayama ingredients with the concept of local production for local consumption for some 30-odd years. The recommended “select Hida beef round healthy steak” is an amazing dish of Hida beef grilled over the perfect flame with condensed umami, sweetness and aroma. It is also suggested that you enjoy the restaurant like a bistro where you can enjoy yourself while being carefree at the counter drinking wine that matches menu items on the blackboard with recommended dishes for the day.

    We stopped in for dinner at Bistro Mieux after a few other restaurants we looked at were full, and we’re so glad we gave it a try. The hostess was very warm and welcoming, and each dish we ordered...

    This long-established butcher shop established in 1927 is about a nine-minute walk from JR Takayama Station. Built in 1936, the building is a nationally registered tangible cultural property. In Tengu, the Hida beef restaurant adjacent to the shop, you can enjoy authentic menu items such as “grilled Hida beef ” for lunch, grilled steak and shabu-shabu.

    This restaurant specializes in Hida beef curry, so right away I had high expectations. The owner/chef was very nice and could speak some English well. She had an english menu, which was really just...

    Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Honmachi 4-5
    This French restaurant and steak house is ten minutes on foot from Takayama Station on the Takayama Main Line. Guests enjoy leisurely meals in the antique interior of their old kominka (old Japanese house). They use only the highest A5 grade Hida Beef fillet and sirloin. The finely marbled meat is soft enough to melt in your mouth. Apart from steak, you can dine on fare like tail stew, sliced and seared Hida Beef tataki, fish, Japanese tiger prawns, abalone, and more. According to your budget, you can get your meat cut to order as well.

    Just arrived in Takayama today and wanted to try the beef that they all brag about. Most restaurants that I passed were closed (apparently Monday is their day of rest). After a half hour of...

    Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Kamichinomachi 94
    A conspicuous Hamburger specialty restaurant located in Takayama City in an area where much atmospheric, old architecture remains. The restaurant’s long and narrow “space for eating Hamburgers” stretches away from the entrance, and the establishment’s eye-catching décor will make you forget you’re in Japan’s Hida-Takayama region. The restaurant’s signature menu selection is its Hida beef burger—made with ingredients from Hida and limited to just a few customers each day, this original recipe Hamburger is also popular with visiting international tourists. The restaurant’s large menu also includes the unshakably popular bacon cheeseburger as well as the avocado burger, particularly popular with women. The restaurant also carries beers from around the world and a wide selection of other drinks.

    Wow! Fantastic burgers! The entrance is a little intimidating but once you head on through, the 12 seater place is amazing. I had the cheeseburger set with fries..the bun was perfectly fluffy AND...

    Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Honmachi 1-66
    A steakhouse established over 50 years ago located close to the statue of Yamaoka Tetsutaro. Specializing in Hida beef steaks, the restaurant employs a unique “braiser and sauter” cooking method to maximize the flavor of the meat. Particularly recommended are the sirloin steak and rib roast steak. The restaurant also serves a variety of other steak cuts as well as smoked salmon, homemade ham, and an abundant array of other dishes made with Hida ingredients. In addition, the restaurant serves seasonal course meals and gift fairs. The restaurant is closed on Wednesdays.

    A delicious Hida steak cooked to perfection served with an ideal Red wine. The restaurant is totally unpretentious and focuses entirely on excellent food and service.

  • Sakaguchiya

    Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Kamisannomachi 90
    This casual Japanese restaurant offers Gifu’s famous Hida beef. It was a successful inn during the mid-Meiji period (1668-1912) when it was founded, and the building remains as it was then. The traditional hearth gives it a real feel of old Japan. Their main dish is a Hida beef topped rice bowl. They also serve steak and aburi rolled beef that lets the flavor of the A5 grade Hida beef shine. Other dishes include special Hida beef curry on rice and soba noodles with meat. Their Hida beef nigiri zushi is great to eat on the go, making Sakaguchiya a perfect spot to drop in while seeing the town. There’s a collection of marionettes in the storehouse at the back.
