A
Kōtatsu
More sophisticated than your everyday okonomiyaki place, Kōtatsu has a dark atmosphere and an assortment of sake and shōchū, and will cook your okonomiyaki for you. Salads are also available. It's beneath Arroz Spanish restaurant; there's a bubble motif on the brown wall outside.

Oden Miyuki Honten
For fish in another form (ground and pressed into cakes and served in broth), oden is very satisfying, especially on chilly nights. Some of the staff are English-speaking.

Jiyūken
By Higashi Chaya-gai, this simple but welcoming spot has been serving yō-shoku (Japanese takes on Western cuisine; eg beef stew, grilled chicken, omelettes) since 1909. The teishoku is a steal at ¥920. There are plastic models in the window. Look for the stone front.

Bistro Yuiga
There's a gentle jazz soundtrack to accompany elegantly prepared French delicacies in this one-time private home. Set menus include treats like raw ham and - because this is Kanazawa - seafood. It's a short walk off the main street from Katamachi, down the street opposite Kōtatsu.

Tamazushi
Down near Sai-gawa in Katamachi, this classic sushi counter, backed by a painting of a nō stage, is one of Kanazawa's best. No English is spoken, but there's a picture menu. It's a brown-white building on your right as you enter from the main street.

Janome-sushi Honten
Highly regarded for sashimi and Kaga cuisine. One of our Japanese friends says that when he eats here, he knows he's really in Kanazawa. It's across a little stream from Siena clothing store.

Hotaruya
To splurge on Kaga ryōri and step back in time, visit this shop in Higashi Chaya-gai; it's on the corner in a little square. You'll be rewarded with wood-beam and tatami room surroundings, and understated, standard-setting course meals. For lunch, try the hanamachi kaiseki set, ¥6300.
