“ A rare gem in a mostly residential area in Kyoto. I went solo and the owners were extremely accomodating. All the items I ordered were lovely and the prices even more so. Will definitely come back next time in town. ”
“ The food was amazing! A nice fusion of Japanese and proper French cuisine. We loved our experience here. The service was fantastic. A stone’s throw from the imperial castle. Great value for money! ”
“ My favourite restaurant in this part of the world. Very tasty, not too rich but lovely. Some interesting local ingredients/specials along with many french staples. Come early or reserve as it is popular. ”
“ Ambient atmosphere, attentive staff, and great cuisine. I had a wonderful dinner here with my family(they were amazed by the tastiness throughout). I was worried it might take long for meals to come as the chef do all the cooking by himself. Luckily we were the first visitors that night and the dishes arrived swiftly one after another. The price was very reasonable, considering the quality of the food and service. I will surely visit this restaurant again soon. ”
