Restaurants in Nijō Castle

Meatlovers paradise. The food was truly amazing. The steaks were very delicious, the fish was perfect and i highly recommend this for the food. However my only critique would be that the english communication was poor and we didnt really know what to do.

Arrived at a little bit earlier than the reservation time, but we were seated quickly. Because we were the only two foreigners, the staff made a special effort to translate each dish into English on their phone, explaining the ingredients and the order in which to eat them. The taste was standard Kaiseki cuisine – refreshing with some unique flavors. The meal lasted for about 1.5 hours, which was perfect as it was our last lunch on the day of departure. The timing was just right, neither rushed nor too slow. Just got hungry a little quickly, and was almost completely digested by the time we arrived at the airport in the evening!

Located in the park, it's recommended to visit after taking the scenic train, making it very convenient. Sitting inside, you can directly see the Hozugawa River, with special tofu dishes and artist collaborations, a feast for the senses of taste and sight!

the food was really good. the chef was really nice and explained every dishes and where it came from.

A highly recommended experience, for the space, the kindness, and the food, which is delicious and completely plant-based. The eggplant with miso is spectacular; the best I've ever tasted. Arigato gozaimasu 🙏🏽

It truly melts in your mouth. The servers are very helpful and polite, respecting guests' personal space while still paying attention to their needs. A very satisfying dining experience. Highly recommended!

Great value for the price, a wide variety of dishes are served gradually until you're fully satisfied, the service is attentive and friendly, and the food tastes great. It's the best choice for experiencing a pufferfish meal, and you'll want to visit again and again.

It is a great tempura experience in the traditional Japanese buildings & skillful chef preparing the food in front of the bar table.
