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...

Teppanyaki Tokiwa
Teppanyaki restaurant
👍👍 When I was traveling to Kyoto with my mother and daughter, we stayed at the Kyoto Hotel Okura, so we had Tokiwa-san's Teppanyaki for dinner every time, per my daughter's request. Nowadays, I often travel alone to Kyoto, sometimes with friends, and I have changed my hotel from Okura to Hotel B. I som...

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. Firs...

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...

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...

👍👍 We came upon Aroncino after being turned away by several Japanese restaurants in the area. We were blown away by the quality of the food and the service. Authentic Italian ingredients and a nice variety of dishes that brought back memories of high-end restaurants in Rome. It offers both set meals...

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...

😠 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

Kaiseki restaurant
😠 This is quite possibly one of the worst restaurants I’ve ever stepped foot into and hands down the worst review I have ever written in over 250 reviews I’ve written for Google review. 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...
