Kyoto is real and vintage Japan, the place of the geisha and the 17th century tea houses. Today, its leading five star restaurants interestingly blend tradition and with Western influences. The inviting ambience of
Le Bouchon makes it a pleasant place to while away the time. Order a glass of wine and try their tasty
gratinee lyonnaise and
canard roti aux oranges.
If you still crave French cooking, get the home-cooked goodness of
nouveau cuisine when you try the dishes at
Bistro Pompadour. The chef trained in France and worked for Kyoto's best hotels. A typical set course includes an entree, soup, seafood or meat main course, salad, dessert and coffee. The set menu changes daily and is displayed on a chalkboard outside.
Diners yearning for traditional Japanese food should visit
You You Tei. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere with the whole place done in modern Japanese style. Menu items include salads, noodle dishes, and grilled chicken on a stick (
yakitori). The house specialty is
gyusuji and
daikon, which is cooked for 24 hours.
