Gion Moriko

A venerable Cantonese restaurant which first opened in 1955 in Shijohorikawa and later moved to its current location along the Shirakawa River north of the Chion-in temple. The shop does not use the strongly flavored animal fats normally used in Cantonese food and adds a Kyoto twist to its dishes to create a cuisine that is gentler in taste. Making use of seasonal and rare ingredients from China and Taiwan, the restaurant is engaged in a constant search for new flavors. In addition to a la carte options, the restaurant also serves extravagant yet reasonable course menus. The restaurant’s thick, addictive annin tofu is a popular dessert which is also available for takeout. Closest station: Higashiyama Station.
