Chez Shino — Restaurant in Kyoto

Very french, styled like a parisien café. The food was mostly as expected for a french cuisine, the cooking was fine, eg my lamb was cooked perfectly. My starter was smoked salmon, strangely served on bed of coleslaw/cabbage. My main concern was the price-very expensive for which I would expect a more refined offering.

But the cost of 1900 yen for 2 small bread rolls was a shock. 2 glasses of wine, shown at 1400 yen each on the menu, charged at 1900 yen. Total cost for 2 was what you pay for...
