A
Le Bouchon
This reliable French place serves tasty lunch and dinner sets and has a pleasant, casual atmosphere. The kitchen does great work with fish, salads and desserts, and the pommes frites (French fries) are excellent. The owner speaks English, French and Japanese and will make you feel right at home. The set dinner (appetiser, main and dessert) is great value. Lunch sets cost less than ¥1000. It’s near the corner; look for the blackboard displaying the day’s specials.

Bouchon Cayenne
We always feel a little guilty eating at this intimate French place, especially at lunch. It just doesn’t seem right to be getting this kind of food for these prices. The chef does a brilliant egg tart and is a good hand with lamb dishes. The menu is in French and Japanese. It’s near the corner; look for the grey front and the English sign.

Shuhari
Shuhari is a great example of Kyoto’s newest dining trend – fine restaurants in renovated machiya. In this case, the food is casual French, with an emphasis on light fish dishes and healthy salads. Look for the red stove pipe with the name of the restaurant written on it out the front.
