Kodaiji Jugyuan
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...

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...

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...

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...

Hyotei
Kaiseki restaurant
😠 This is a restaurant discriminate foreigners. When I made the reservation via phone, the staff thought I was Japanese since I speak fluent Japanese. However when I told her my name she realized I am a foreigner, then request me to book the reservation via hotel, despite she just told me there are se...

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

Sagano
Fine dining restaurant
👍 This is a Japanese restaurant located at Hotel Nikko Princess Kyoto. If you stay with a plan that includes breakfast, you can choose between the Japanese breakfast here (Sagano) or the Amber Court buffet, but both are delicious and hard to choose, so I use them alternately. Sagano's Japanese breakfa...

Yakiniku Yoshimi
Yakiniku restaurant
👍 A nice local place to have Japanese barbecue. While they have set courses, we wanted to try only the best meats so we did a la carte and got the 3 most expensive meat plates which was enough for us. The quality was good but we made the mistake of ordering some with only a salt seasoning - get the '...
