  1. A

    Veggie Table

    Right near one of the busiest corners in the Kiyamachi-Sanjō entertainment-dining district, this clean, well-lit new restaurant specialises in ‘hot salad’ sets (steamed vegetables and a variety of side dishes, including brown rice). It’s a healthy addition to a neighbourhood that has, up until now, focused more on rāmen and booze. It has an English sign on the street; otherwise, look for the glass front.

  2. B

    Taco Tora

    Try this spot for Kyoto’s best tako yaki (fried, battered octopus balls – no, not those balls). The place doesn’t have much in the way of ambience, but, then, what tako yaki place does? Be careful: the balls are served piping hot and you can easily burn your mouth if you’re not patient. It’s near Kitano Tenman-gū.
