Cheap affordable food with the highest quality. Definitely not to miss. I guess travellers buy from places like this and that's theor meal for the train journey.”

“Anyway, it's a really nice cafe. The atmosphere is great. Retro, cosmic and fantastic... Fruit punch is a standard menu item. If you go in the middle of the day, there will be quite a line. You will have to line up outside.”

“When you enter the store for the first time, you will be surprised. This is a bakery that will make you feel like you have wandered into a completely different world from the ancient capital. The interior design makes you feel like you're in Europe, America, or even Hollywood. The bread is a little expensive, but it's voluminous and has a deep flavor. Most of the breads are hard, so it's best to chew them thoroughly when eating them. You can eat the bread you bought inside the store, but what if the store is full? For example, if you walk east, you'll find a bench along the river on Horikawa Street. There is nothing like eating bread from this shop on a bench on a sunny day.”

“After waiting for 30mins we finally got our seats. The food sold out quickly at 1:30PM (although the opening time till 3PM), so be careful about the timing. The eel rice bowls were good. Eel is tender & crispy. Big portions of rice would fill your stomach! But some part of the eels are over-grilled, leave the bitterness in the taste. A bit pricey (2 for 11000+) vs the quality.”

“The matcha at this house is truly amazing. It's rich, flavorful, and expertly prepared. The staff's skill and dedication shine through. The ambiance is nice, but the toilet could be cleaner. Still, if you love matcha, this place is a must-visit for an unforgettable experience.”

“It’s expensive, but the gelato portions are generous and delicious. The iced chocolate is wonderful but too expensive for the small portion.”

“A good variety of beer including an Oktoberfest sized beer. All the food and drinks that you would expect from a German pub. Spacious and reasonably priced but food portions are not big. A good spot for a break from all the shopping.”

“Cute little bakery. Lines can be a little long and they can sell out of a lot of their options really quickly, but the pastries were nice. The cute little toaster in the eating area to warm the food was a lovely surprise.”

69 Kamikawaracho, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, 604-8374, Japan

“Super delicious donut!! Worth the stop and calories. Make sure to get one warm! Owner speaks great English and is considering opening a shop in the US. I'm voting for one near home in NY! 😍”

32-3 Jodoji Ishibashicho, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, 606-8406, Japan

“Very elegant Michelin rated dining experience. The dress code is definitely business casual/formal though they do give a lot of slack to foreigners. It’s also a cash only place and required reservations ahead of time. The who dinner takes about 2.5 hours. They try to speak English, but they do provide a written menu which is not always accurate. This was a 9-10 course menu. Overall the dishes were very vegetable-heavy and very artfully decorated. Wouldn’t say I enjoyed every course, but I did appreciate the the beauty of every course and it definitely reflected many of the traditional themes of Japanese fine dining. Overall, would recommend if you’re in the area and have cash to spare.”

“Outstanding crepes, even after 4 years. Crepes were crispy at the edges. Cider and coffee were great too. Warm family-run business. Fantastic service; even ice was added to our water! Quiet place for a break after all that walking around Gion. Cafe a tad small, and may need some manoeuvring in and out.”

“Kama-mochi is a traditional sweet to pray for a good harvest. In the Edo period, it was sold at a tea store at Kuramaguchi, but now it is sold by Daikokuya Kamamochi Honpo in front of the Amida-dera Temple.”

71-2 Jurakumawari Nishimachi, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, 604-8402, Japan

“We stumbled this cute shop when we took a stroll and made a visit there. When we walked inside, it smells so good in there. We bought some back for breakfast and so glad that we did. I love their croissant 🥐 They have so many varieties of bakery for you to choose. Tonkatsu sandwich also looks really nice, alas we didn’t try it. Milk, fruit juice and water also available at the fridge so you can just grab and go everything you need in a meal there.”

565-1 Gionmachi Minamigawa, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto, 605-0074, Japan

“This is where you go if you’re a big dessert fan and want something to cool you off on a hot day. Their matcha dishes are great and ice creams are very refreshing. If you’re not a fan of matcha, their simple ice cream sandwich is also a great alternative. Service is also quick, so there’s little wait before your food arrives.”

“At one look, this cafe may look creepy because of the vines on the building. The first floor is a antique shop that sells many things and books which the cafe is on the second floor. The place was really big and enough to fit big groups of 5 - 6. A really nice English tea setting environment that uses vinyls records which give that antique vibe. They scones was delicious! Is different from the original scones that many cafes have. Which tasted really refreshing to me. It was huge, like the size of your palm and it was crispy on the outside and moist in the inside. With cream cheese and jam on the side to pair with it. Will totally come back here as I'm craving for the scones already ^^!”

“My wife and I just had a meal there, and I have to say, it was spectacular The owner personally cooked for us in front of us, providing us with small dishes of first shellfish, then vegetables, then meat, then fish and finally a dessert He talked with us at length over some tea about the history of the building, that it was 86 years old, and that he's the third generation of owner He walked with us through the house discussing various decorations, such as a family antique samurai helmet he placed out for his son, and some hanging tapestries, before walking with us through the garden and talking about the fish, the old bonsai trees and the freshwater well on property It was a hell of a night, delicious”
