Come here in the evening after visiting Arashiyama bamboo forest. Amazing experience though it may be awkward for foreigners. Many pools and sauna rooms to try. Food - go for the seasonal menu.
Fruit tarts are creamy, not too sweet. It’s along the stream. Goes well with ice latte.
Quaint little cafe at the side road off entrance to Fushimi Inari Shrine. Recommend: Ice matcha latte
Seasonal kariage is the bomb! Amazingly good. Soju + hot water recommended. Mains: Miso beef stew. Best appetiser: aubergine. Dessert: Japanese pudding (soy)
Tender lamb shank w naan. It’s a surprisingly good combination. Also recommend watermelon and feta salad as starter.
Recommend eggplant lasagne ($14.80 nett). Flavour is marvellous, lots of cheesy goodness, onions in layers of soft eggplants. Optional top up $2 for meat sauce.
Bitter mocha ($6) was a good recommendation. Strong and rich mix of bitter cocoa with coffee. I’d skip the cookie though.
Enjoyed their mushroom and hummus sourdough toast. Fat strips of fries! Standard pricing as any brunch places around here.
Tried the signature hot chocolate drink this time. One of the better hot choc in town. Good mix of dark choc and milk. Would recommend.
My preference is Basil gelato and Vanilla & Figs. Must eat with Thyme Cone.
Avocado chocolate cold bowl was a surprising savoury pasta. Turned out to be rather tasty and creamy. Portions are not heavy and I enjoyed their MLtR playlist.
Awesome coffee (go for latte bowl) and flavourful grain salads. Must eat at the garden. Gorgeous flowered trees!
Always my favourite Italian place. Go for their specials not available in the menu. Tuna was very fresh today and spare ribs was perfect. Lava cake is a must to cap off the dinner.
We had to wait 30 mins without making reservations in advance. We had a very good beef steak (medium rare) and venison tasted good too (though a bit tough). It was well worth the wait!
We ordered both the tom yum and chicken broth soup base. Tom yum soup is quite spicy. The serving portion for their sets is good. Price is affordable.
