Kikunoi Honten
Kaiseki restaurant
😠 The worst restaurant experience we’ve ever had. We’ve been to so many fine dining restaurants and several Michelin restaurants too and this has to be a total utter disaster.
The food was just horrible. Both my husband and I are foodies and we appreciate unusual cuisine with unusual ingredients.

Kōdaiji Jūgyūan
Japanese restaurant
👍👍 It is notoriously difficult to secure a reservation for finer dining Japanese restaurants directly, and especially so when you have a larger dining party. Kodaiji Jugyuan is an exception.
We were looking for a special venue for a celebratory lunch and Kodaiji Jugyuan seemed to fit the bill. Boastin...

Hyotei
Kaiseki restaurant
😠 Having visited and enjoyed a few Michelin star restaurants in the past, I have to say that this three star is a new and unique low. The beautiful setting and history are way above the culinary experience. Not only was the meal uninspired and lacking by today’s standards, but one of the dishes (the s...

Mizai
Fine dining restaurant
😠 Warning!
Extremely overpriced especially the sake! Big amount of food with normal tasting. The food doesn’t match with the price at all. Sake with no price on it, but in fact it is >10X the market price. Be sure to ask before you order any drinks. See the picture, one craft is more than 30000!

L'ourson qui boit
French restaurant
👍👍 I visited this store with my kids because I felt nostalgic about the store I used to go to about 30 years ago.
The atmosphere was a little different, but it was a special restaurant.
This time I ordered the E course lunch and added foie gras.
The dishes made with plenty of Kyoto vegetables were a fe...

LURRA°
Fine dining restaurant
😐 Not great, not terrible - would not visit again. Generally very nice and creative cuisine, well executed. Beautiful location. However - and as others have pointed out - the staff is just too cool and does not interact or create a relationship with their customers. A piece of wild boar was so tough/c...

Nowadays, I often travel alone to Kyoto, sometimes with friends, and I have changed my hotel from Okura to Hotel B.

We were blown away by the quality of the food and the service.

Honke Tankuma Honten
Kaiseki restaurant
😠 The only good is the hospitality of owner
The food is very mediocre with little flavour or cookery. Not delicate or Michelin standard
Service is rushed with little to no explanation
Not worth even half the price of 27500 yen pre tax
Can get much better for way less

I would mark it zero stars if that was an option. This kaiseki restaurant does not have a menu as everyday they sour...

👍 ホテル日航プリンセス京都にある、和食のお店です。
朝食付きプランで宿泊すると、こちら（嵯峨野）の和朝食かアンバーコートのビュッフェを選べますが、どちらも美味しくて甲乙つけがたいので交互に利用しています。
嵯峨野の和朝食は健康的で優しい感じです。歳をとるとこういった優しい感じの朝食の方がよくなってきます...

Ukihashi

👍 I didn't stay at the hotel, but I visited on May 1st for a delicious breakfast in Kyoto. It is located behind the front desk of the hotel on the 2nd floor of Kyoto Station. We enjoyed breakfast in a calm atmosphere.
The pickles were especially delicious.
