Where to eat Cafe food in Kyoto: The Best Restaurants and Bars

August 5, 2020 Flossie Demartino

Find out what Cafe restaurants to try in Kyoto. Kyoto is Japan's most traditional city. The lush and verdant cityscape encompasses sprawling rock gardens, vast palaces, and tall temples. The streets are alive with businessmen hurrying past Geiko and Makio in their full kimono, both on their way to work along cherry-tree lined walks. A historic hub that celebrates Japanese culture, from kabuki to textile weaving, Kyoto can also be surprisingly modern. It is one of Japan's largest, busiest, and most visited cities, with packed shopping mega-centers and high-rise offices. Suffused with shrines, outdoor markets, and nature walks, the small but bountiful location is also home to some of Japan's most contemporary architectural marvels, hippest cafes and eateries, and modish local brands and shops. It makes Kyoto a playful and sublime city, studded with as many bars and hole-in-the-wall fried food shops along the Kamogawa river as it is suffused with ancient ryokan and delicate wagashi shops. Kyoto is in the cross-hairs of Japan's most artful past and its energetic present.

Cafe Du Mon

Reviewed By v0yageur22

We had a wonderful lunch sitting out on the terrace at this little cafe right across the street from the entrance to the Daitoku-ji temple complex. The food was delicious and the service was friendly (they speak a little bit of English). My very favorite thing was the the canele cake made with Daitokuji natto--(which are dried and salty fermented soy beans supposedly invented by the Buddhist priest Ikkyu)--the sweet and savory combo is terrific.

Kagizen Yoshifusa Honten

Reviewed By Expert_adviser

The line moved quickly. The crowd were mostly locals. The service was brilliant. The ‘moist Japanese sweet’ was OK (but looked brilliant). Green tea was excellent. Free tea top ups were appreciated. The arrowhead noodles and brown sugar sauce were presented in an ornate green box, and the experience eating them was highly unique. Would recommend this place for the authentic experience it offers.
