DANIEL'S LUCE — Restaurant in Kyoto

NON JAPANESE ASIAN AVOID. My friend and I went here for enjoy an off work Friday night. During the second half of the dinner I realized that they were speaking disrespectful Japanese in a very rude manner to me but really humble and polite to Japanese people and person with white appearance.

I was treated like a beggar by the waiter just because I want to pay the bill without the food I waited for 30 minutes,even at that time the food was not been made yet.

The food was fine, doesn’t worth the price...

If you do not mind it, I recommend you to drop by this place when you spend a...
