espace — Restaurant in Kyoto

Absolutely amazing food! Every ingredient shone- just the way fine French food is done, but with some Japanese ingredients which made it really special. This was a one man show, each dish perfectly cooked before our eyes. What an incredible treat!

The chef’s lovely wife was the hostess along with adorable babe. We felt privileged to experience this intimate dining experience.

As to the ‘discrimination’ comments I saw below: there was no discrimination, simply that they only speak Japanese. And why shouldn’t they? We are in Japan! Google translate did the job just fine.

Thank you for a fabulous meal and special time for our last evening in Kyoto! We want...

Delicious french restaurant in Kyoto: homemade pâté, really good assortment of cheeses, amazingly cooked flounder and beef made you feel like you were in France - the homemade Chocolate terrain was delicious. Casual atmosphere, and is a good break from the great Japanese restaurants in the city. Menu is in Japanese only so make sure you have Google Translate app, and you will have no problem...

Discrimination at its finest! If you do not welcome non-Japanese, you should refrain from using English on the signs outside your restaurant such as “open” and “wine”, it kind of gives the wrong impression!! Hopefully this advice will help avoid unsavory interactions (with outsiders)...
