Kyoto Kyoto-shi Higashiyama-ku Gionmachiminamigawa 570-155

This Italian restaurant is less about choosing a dish from a menu, and more about the day's fresh seafood, seasonal ingredients, and recommended cooking style. The wide, stylish interior is hard to imagine from the stately exterior, and the luxurious wood grain, along with the lack of set menu, help this shop really stand out. The staff offer excellent explanations of the day's food, and customers only need to give their preferences or mood to get the perfect dish. They also have a sommelier-selected wine list to pair with their dishes for a bit of grown-up fun.

We went there twice seeking a reservation as we stayed nearby the restaurants, we have asked for table for two but the guy was so kind but could not understand French or English, he was kind enough...

Kyoto Kyoto-shi Kita-ku Kamigamotakanawatecho 36-1

This cafe focuses on dishes made with carefully selected natural ingredients. The shop is located in a quiet residential district north on Kitayama-dori street near the Kyoto Botanical Gardens, and strives to make food that results in smiling faces. The chef is particularly proud of the hamburger steak topped with the house-made demiglace sauce. It's made with 100% additive free beef for a thick, tender, hand-made delight. The beef cutlet and beef stew, made with top grade beef from Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, or the Chami pork loin cutlet with select Kagoshima pork, are all very popular.

地下鉄北山から徒歩10分です。火曜日の夜行きましたが、けっこう混んでいました。夜のコースは3種類。味は、ちょっと濃い目で全体的には合格点ですが、物足らないの感もあります。しかし、値段が手ごろなので星4つとしましたが、3.5くらいか。

Kyoto Kyoto-shi Kita-ku Omiyagentakuminamimachi 35-5

This French restaurant is in a quiet residential district seemingly distant from the city center, about ten minutes' drive from Kitaoji subway station. The building has the aura of a top class restaurant in the French suburbs, and offers truly authentic French cuisine. The chef has worked at Michelin Three-star restaurants and was once employed as the head chef of a French eatery here in Japan. The shop is loved for its care with ingredients, selecting the finest ingredients from Japan and imported from France. They also can book the restaurant out for groups of 30 up, so it's popular for birthday and anniversary parties, or wedding banquets.

Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto-shi Higashiyama-ku, Shimogawara-toru Torono Front descent Le 383-1 Yasaka Kamigamachi

This restaurant in a freestanding house next to the five-storied pagoda in the Higashiyama Ward of Kyoto City in Kyoto Prefecture serves authentic Italian food that is prepared primarily with Kyoto-produced ingredients. To offer a taste unique to Kyoto, they go so far as to use Kyoto water in their cooking in addition to Kyoto vegetables.

This dining bar and cafe is in the New Miyako Hotel. RONDE provides a mature experience of the essence of Japan with Kyoto dining.

Five minutes' walk from Gion Shijo Station is Ikariya Shokudo, located in a renovated 100-year-old machiya town house along the Kamo River. The restaurant's sommelier carefully selects and pairs fine wines with popular dishes such as Chicken Confit so that diners can taste the marriage of flavors. During the summer, Ikariya Shokudo takes advantage of its location to open its riverside terrace as a temporary open-air bistro.

After enjoying great starters at a local izakaya, we walked further along the river to Ikariya Shokudou. So we just ordered some smaller meals - firstly a nice bottle of Spanish tempranillo. (Its...

Kyoto Areas

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
