👍👍 Thank you so much Yuki for welcoming us into your restaurant. Not only the food was absolutely perfect but also the service was impeccable.

Creative Dining TAKAYAMA
Italian restaurant
👍👍 Be entertained for at least 3 hours by Chef’s 20-small-dishes multi-course dinner which was visually appealing and engage your palate with different flavours and texture with local seasonal produce. Wine-pairing essential to complete overall dimension of the feast. Ambience is minimalist white so...

Premarché Alternative Diner
Organic restaurant
👍👍 I really enjoyed the great variety of vegan options. The vegan fried fish patty was delicious and had a nice texture. My highlights, however, were the vegan chocolate cake and the curried hummus that is served as an appetizer. Staff are very friendly and the overall experience was great - Would def...

Pizzeria Brown Blossom

👍👍 Great pizza! As good as Da ISA and Seirinkan in Tokyo. Our Italian foodie friend (ciao bella!) loved this place too. We shared three pies: a normal margherita, the buffalo margherita, and the sausage & friarielli (broccoli rabe) pizza. Nice crispy, but chewy crust with just the right char. The buffa...

Trattoria & Lokanta, Nagagutsu DAL1119
Italian restaurant
😠 It used to be crowded, but is it temporarily closed now? It is a selfish business style that I do not understand well. I have the impression that the quality of the food is much lower than before. To be honest, both Italian and Taiwanese food are half-baked. It's a pity that the owner has become a...

Osteria La Balena
Pizza restaurant
👍👍 We, a group of 7 Italians, tried Italian food in Kyoto. We were really surprised to taste such a good food, in an informal but nice atmosphere. Everything good, pasta, pizza fritta and finally a good Italian dessert.

LUDENS
Italian restaurant
👍 In the past, there were many drug stores on Nijo-dori, so this is a somewhat strange Italian restaurant that incorporates elements of medicinal dishes. Lots of vegetables and light sauce. Japanese flavors, such as tuna flakes, are also used throughout. So when the pasta came out, I remembered that t...

😐 The food is prepared with passion. The ingredients are good quality and that comes through in each of the dishes. I was traveling from India with my family and we were in search for some comfort food. Reading that this restaurant received the MICHELIN Bib Gourmand is what brought me here. We stuck t...

👍👍 It was my first time visiting. I was able to discover a dinner called mariage, where food and wine are matched just right. If you take off your shoes and change into slippers when you eat, your body will feel less tense, and the food and wine will taste a lot better (this is true at the DNA level fo...
