Restaurantes em Philosopher's Path

The meats are excellent for BBQ, with their salted and sauced texture. The restaurant also offers free-flow drinks and vegetables!

Such elegance and modern flair within a short walking distance to the main Kyoto station. The rooms were super clean and staff was excellent.

The chef meticulously introduced how to eat each dish and provided a warm welcome. We brought a birthday cake, and they arranged for us to assemble it, which I found very thoughtful.

The service was very nice. The staff were very polite and friendly. The atmosphere is excellent and quiet, and the serving size is quite big because we were very full at the end. The overall experience is 9.5 out of 10. The egg soup with rice was cooked in front of us, and the deep-fried puffer fish was very nice too.

When visiting Kyoto, you must try the local tofu dishes. The staff were very friendly and polite, and the restaurant's garden and architecture were also beautiful. In the bustling Ninen-zaka, being able to sit down and enjoy a meal in such a beautiful environment is a wonderful experience in itself. What left a deep impression was the miso-grilled tofu; the green sauce on top paired perfectly with the tofu. The tofu hot pot itself had no extra seasoning, and the broth was simply a piece of kelp. For me, tasting the tofu's natural flavor directly was a bit too bland. I hope the restaurant can introduce more set menus with various cooking methods to enrich the dining experience.😌

good presentation of foods & great services. Kaiseki is very different with Omakase, this is our very first time enjoying the traditional japanese fine foods. lots of Uni & great toro as well❤️

This was such a great experience! We really enjoyed the different courses and the service was impeccable.

Because it was lunch, and the actual price per person was over 500 RMB (not including the Klook booking fee), the ingredients used in the dishes were average (for example, the bowl dish used duck meatballs). What I liked most about this visit was the young woman who served us; she was lively, cheerful, and a little shy. When you didn't understand something, she would actively use a translation app on her phone to look it up and explain. Her hands were red from too much exposure to cold water, but she maintained perfect posture and etiquette in front of guests throughout. Honestly, you rarely see such a lovely young woman on the mainland. I'd come again just for her! For tourists eating kaiseki, I still recommend going at lunchtime. Firstly, dinner will be much more expensive, and you might encounter noisy guests who have had too much to drink. Secondly, eating too much at night can lead to indigestion. Thirdly, at night, it's dark and you can't see the garden scenery clearly. Behind the teahouse is the Kamo River, and the gurgling water is very pleasant. After the meal, the proprietress waited at the porch, and after seeing us to the door, she waited in the cold wind until we got on the bus, bowing to bid us farewell. This dedication to every table of guests is truly a microcosm of why Japanese kaiseki is worth experiencing.
