Bistro Nami
Bistro
👍👍 A French restaurant located in Kyoto near Nishiki Market. It's a casual style and very reasonably priced, but it's authentic French cuisine using traditional Japanese ingredients such as Kyoto vegetables. The chef's hospitality is also great.

👍 The name suggests a French feel, but the atmosphere inside the restaurant is also very French. That being said, we don't serve fancy French cuisine; it's basically meat. The appetizers are mainly charcuterie, and for some reason they also have hamburgers (lol) The main dish is steak. It is a format...

Three dishes, consommé soup, flower salad, foie gras, and so far an appetizer. The potage soup is sweet and seasoned. Bread is French bread and a small cr...

😠 Nothing was creative, very bad service and we left hungry. Since it was a set menu, we told him that we prefer not to eat meat but we like seafood especially fish. Very small portions started to arrive to our table, only vegetables and nothing was special. At the end he arrive to our table to ask i...

👍 ランチのスープカレーを頂きました。 カレーは少し辛めで、スパイス感が強く、とても美味いです。 あと、中に入っているハンバーグが肉肉しくてすごく美味い。大にしとけばよかったなと後悔しました。 値段も1380円とお手ごろでした。

Bistrot Le Gabriel
French restaurant
👍👍 Amazing french restaurant in Kyoto!! Very high french cuisine standards for a very reasonable price! The place is very small, you eat at the bar and the chef will cook for you, so it feels like you have a private chef. Only about 7-8 people max can eat there at a time. For all french cuisine lovers!...

👍👍 This is the best food we have eaten in Japan and vegan too. We eat fish and enjoy a range of Japanese food but the six course vegan tasting menu we had here exceeded all expectations. And they are lovely people too. We were vegan for 4 years and love to cook. Recommend enthusiastically.

👍👍 Awesome staff, so friendly even though we don't speak Japanese. Has an English menu and dining here requires you pay 400 yen table charge per person (which gets you a seat and complimentary salad - table charge is standard in Izakayas but 400 yen each is a bit high, but worth every cent once we tast...

😠 Unfortunately, Benoit Kyoto did not live up to the expectation. I can only describe the whole meal in one word “Sour”. Not sure if the chef actually tasted the complete dish. I could not understand the overall concept or why the dish was heavy on acidity. Besides that, the view was fantastic and th...
