2. En, Kyoto
Dishes prepared from scratch. Chef’s highly sophisticated senses forbid other restaurants to outstrip En.
After being trained at many well-established restaurants, a chef named Takeo Suzuki opened his restaurant in 2008 at Kyoto, locating near Kyoto Gyoen. The restaurant’s size is humble, with seats amounting to only 7, which is within his sight range to provide the guests with special Omotenashi care. His aim is not for unusualness, but instead for a skillful handicraft. With his creed, “meals should be cooked with honesty,” his dishes might appear rather straightforward. However, the exquisiteness of each ingredient and uncompromising cooking make En a popular restaurant.
3. Teramachi Yoshikura, Kyoto
Prepare to be satisfied by the dining experience of Kyoto cuisine, in a relaxed atmosphere.

Kyoto cuisine of four seasons prepared with seasonal ingredients from all across the country, and refined Yonezawa (a city in Yamagata prefecture) beef awaits your arrival. Lunch menus are also attracting, as guests may experience Kyo-ryori (Kyoto cuisine) at a decent price, with Tabehoudai (all-you-can-eat) side dishes. The counter seat centers the interior, where harmonious conversations are made. This carries out a relaxing mood upon the guests.
