Located on the edge of Maruyama Park and a good -- though pricey -- place to stop if you're walking from Kiyomizu Temple to Gion, this restaurant, housed in a building called Chorakukan dating from the Meiji Period with elaborate woodwork and marble, is one of the few Western restaurants in eastern Kyoto. Ensconced in an elegant, drawing room-style hall, Le Chene serves only set meals. Alternatively, consider dropping by the adjoining cafe, a beautiful room reminiscent of European coffee shops, open daily 10am to 9:30pm; an afternoon tea, served from 1 to 5pm, costs ¥3,000.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
