This informal place, a good stop if you're walking from Kiyomizu Temple to Heian Shrine, is one of the few Western restaurants in eastern Kyoto. The building, which dates from the Meiji Period and also houses the Ladies' Hotel Chorakukan, features elaborate woodwork and marble. While 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. Dishes include fried shrimp, grilled chicken with bacon, spaghetti, curry, and sandwiches. There are also lunch specials served from 11am to 2pm, when you have your choice of either a Western-style lunch or a Japanese-style box lunch. After lunch you may wish to retire to the building's coffee shop, a beautiful room reminiscent of European coffee shops. Although the set dinners can be expensive, the set dinner for women costs just ¥3,000, including a glass of wine.
Main dishes ¥1,000-¥1,800; set lunches ¥1,500-¥1,700; set dinners ¥5,000-¥8,000.
Open: Daily 11am-7:30pm (last order).
Credit Cards: No credit cards.
Bus: 206 to Gion, then a 7-min. walk to the park; look for a large stone-and-brick Western-style building with a huge stone lantern in its driveway.
