Antibes — Restaurant in Kyoto

My teenage son and I just had a fantastic dinner here. We were the first customers at around 7 pm, and the chef and waitress didn’t seem quite ready for us. However, the white wine and pate de campagne with bread were fantastic. The pate is some of the best I’ve had, and I’ve had plenty in NYC and France. The bread is fresh baked and delicious. The pasta carbonara is divine. The steak was slightly over cooked as it was a very thin slice. But the accompanying sauce and frites were perfection. The dried fig and walnut ice cream was heavenly. If I may dare to suggest, skip Japanese food one night while in Kyoto and travel to northern Italy/south of France for a very memorable meal. If I lived here, I’d visit...

We loved this place so much we came back twice. The food is made to order which means you may have a slight wait (honestly not much longer than any typical restaurant) but I think that actually helped contribute to the calming atmosphere. I was happy to sip my wine and watch them prepare the food right in front of me.

The food was exceptional. The mixed salad was huge and fresh. The pasta was delicious. I usually don’t eat crust on pizza but I devoured the crust here.

If you come as a group, your meals may not come at the same time but that’s all the more reason to order a bunch of different things and try them all!

I absolutely recommend Anitbes for the food...

Oh, let me tell you about this amazing little Italian restaurant I discovered in Kyoto called Antibes! It's tucked away in a central location and the moment I stepped inside, I knew I was in for a treat. The atmosphere is so cozy and inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly. But let's talk about the food! I had the most incredible cod & potato gratin, seafood pasta, and Margherita pizza there. Each dish was bursting with flavors and made with such care. I couldn't get enough! Trust me, I'm already planning my next visit to Antibes because it's just that good. If you're in Kyoto and craving some authentic Italian cuisine, this place is an...
