Okariba
Japanese regional restaurant
👍👍 A bit out of the way from the main area, however, a visit to Okariba is a must! It was one of the highlights of our trip.
The charcoal grilled wild boar and duck was a highlight - very tasty. If you're daring enough, try the grasshoppers and bee larvae (and for the very brave - the horse sashimi,...

goya
Japanese regional restaurant
👍 They have a nice selection of Okinawan cuisine and some vegetarian/vegan options (although a lot of veg options seem to be sold out). I had the soba which was very delicious. Also the restaurant is cute with lots of plants growing

Yoshuji
Soba noodle shop
👍👍 Hands-down some of the best eats in the greater Kyoto area. Vegetarian sets are amazing, in the $20-$30 range. My sister also eats gluten-free, and they were incredibly kind and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Wappado
Restaurant
👍 Mr. Wappado, who was finally able to come in from last year. When I saw it on TV, I wanted to visit you as soon as possible. Carefully made and colorful dishes and a calm appearance. We had a variety of vegetables. It was fun to eat fish dishes such as carpaccio and grilled dishes. We had a leisure...

Kyoryori SATSUK
Japanese restaurant
👍 I go to the Kamogawa Noryo Yuka every summer.
Not only do you have a beautiful and elegantly arranged meal, but you can also enjoy the atmosphere while listening to the sound of the Kamogawa River, looking at the Daimonji and the moon, and feeling the cool breeze.

🫤 夜の川床で1万円のお料理を8人分お願いしました。
お料理は特に美味しいと感動できるものではなかったです。他の人も同じご意見でした。

味峯 西大路店
Izakaya restaurant
😠 I had reserved a table a few days in advance on Tabelog, but a situation occurred where I was unable to get a reservation. I was offered a seat at the counter, but I refused and returned home. I was looking forward to it as it was one of the few Okinawan restaurants, but I was very disappointed. At...

Satsuma Gokamon Kyoto Shijo Karasuma
Izakaya restaurant
👍 July 27, 2023 Lunch with friends. We met in the basement at the underground store, and it was hot in Kyoto in the summer. It's been a long time since the Yamahoko parade ended, and I had a bowl of Sara Udon, fried chicken, draft beer, and chicken tempura. There is no rice, but you can add extra serv...

Senbon Hanabi
Izakaya restaurant
😠 They did not comply with the request for shortened business hours and remained open until late at night (around midnight) and served alcohol. It's fine if it's just inside the store, but customers are now allowed outside the store without masks and smoking. It's too dangerous.
I was surprised when...
