Yumeji Cafe Goryukaku

4.0

This cafe is inside a building combining Japanese and Western design to blend perfectly into the surroundings. The building, built in 1923, was once the manor of Meiji era entrepreneur Shofu Kajo, stands out for its tiled roof and ornamental shibi. The building interior is filled with the warmth of wood, and is the perfect atmosphere to enjoy their home made tofu dishes and sweets. Their popular Kyoto vegetable curry is filled with produce from the thousand-year old capital city itself flavored with an elegant mix of spices. Their dessert menu is full, and includes dishes like Kuromitsu Tofu, made with unpressed tofu and select black syrup and kinako soy flour. The western-style structure is filled with Taisho romance, and is a nationally registered Cultural Asset.

Historical wonder

Happened across this excellent historic restaurant by accident just walking off the crowded lane and eyeing the old stone architecture. Inside over 100 years old and not much changed. Had good lunch...
Good food, but NOT vegetarian

We went to this tofu restaurant and we ordered the vegetable curry and miso pasta. It does not say anywhere on the English menu, but we found out both dishes contained meat :( it was tasty though so...
