Frommer's Review

Located on the edge of Maruyama Park and a good place to stop if you're walking from Kiyomizu Temple to Gion, this restaurant, housed in a building dating from the Meiji Period with elaborate woodwork and marble, is one of the few Western restaurants in eastern Kyoto. Although the inexpensive downstairs restaurant is nothing fancy, it's restful: Classical music plays in the background, and there's a view of some maple trees. Only set meals, with meat or fish, are available. After your meal, you may wish to retire to the building's coffee shop, a beautiful room reminiscent of European coffee shops, open daily 8:30am to 9:30pm.
