Teppansousaku Lien
Restaurant
👍👍 Never have we had such delicious steak. We booked on a whim but it turned out to be the best meal of our honeymoon. Chef Ryosuke Muramatsu was charming and it was a delight to talk with him as he skilfully prepared our food. The food is highly refined and the atmosphere is stylish and smart but very...

Katsukura - Kyoto Porta
Tonkatsu restaurant
👍👍 Our favorite restaurant we went to in Kyoto! The pork was so delicious, crispy and juicy. We also got the rice box but didn’t love it as much as the pork. Highly recommend! We had to wait for about 30 mins on a Friday night. Located in train station building.

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,...

Pontocho Yakiniku Yamakawa
Yakiniku restaurant
😠 A very terrible place cuz they fooled foreigners. They use freezing meat instead of fresh beef for foreign customers. I found one piece of beef was deep brown color and smelly. I ask the chef about it but he said the beef is TOO FRESH, so it’s different with others. I’m 100% sure that the beef was n...

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...

Mikuri
Kyoto style Japanese restaurant
👍👍 Despite the late time of 21:00 reservation on Friday, we were greeted nicely. And it is a Japanese food and wine shop that even women can enjoy without any hesitation. The owner had a wonderful experience of 40 years sommelier, but it was somehow charming and fun. Marimekko's apron and bow tie look...

Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu - Ponto-cho Main Shop
Syokudo and Teishoku restaurant
😠 Great idea, unfortunately not well executed: meet is of very low quality and no matter how long you continue to cook it on the hot stow on the table, it is not getting less chewy. Sides are also not tasty and just very blunt and uninspiring. The only good dish was the fried meatballs. Further, you w...

The service was great. Despite arriving with high expectations, while it didn't disappoint...
