❶ Benoit Kyoto
The Kyoto branch of the long-established Parisian bistro Benoit is a sophisticated space located in a quiet area near Nanzenji Temple.
The interior of the restaurant, which makes use of traditional Japanese architecture that is over 100 years old, beautifully blends Japanese and Western styles, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
You can enjoy classical French cuisine made with plenty of seasonal local Kyoto ingredients, along with wines carefully selected by a sommelier🍷✨
Perfect for special lunches and anniversary dinners🍴
❷ THE SODOH HIGASHIYAMA
The Sodoh Higashiyama is located in the former residence of Japanese painter Takeuchi Seiho.
The restaurant, which combines a vast garden overlooking Yasaka Pagoda with modern design, has an extraordinary feel like a museum.
The main course menu is made with Kyoto vegetables and carefully selected local ingredients. The beautifully presented dishes are not only delicious but also visually pleasing🍽️
❸ Sukiyaki Iroha
Iroha, a long-established sukiyaki specialty restaurant in Gion, has been loved by Kyoto residents for over 70 years since its establishment.
In a quaint townhouse-style space, you can relax and enjoy Japanese time.
The restaurant is known for its simple Kansai-style sukiyaki, which uses carefully selected Japanese black beef and is seasoned with "sugar and soy sauce only" instead of a sauce.
It is a luxurious dish that brings out the flavor of the ingredients, which you can't find anywhere else🥩✨
