la pleine lune — Restaurant in Kyoto

Made a reservation via instagram msg for a party larger than 4ppl. Kindly accomodated an allergy in my group (literally baked a special financier and substituted ingredients). Service is white cloth fancy dining experience. They’re meticulous and impressive in service. The food was amazing and very reasonably priced considering how many courses are included in the $40 lunch course (the amuse bouche, appy, soup, main, dessert, coffee/tea w a small baked good). Literally best mushroom soup and crème brûlée we ever had. Sooo mushroomy. The pudding part and crunchy brulee sugar top were shallow making a cool 1-to-1 ratio of pudding and crunchy. You get only 1 main in the $40 lunch but we had a big group so we tried all the options (everyone order a diff one). The meats were are succulent and juicy. Fish was nice, but pork and duck options were very juicy. We paid the extra $15 for the wagyu steak...

Amazing restaurant, stunning menus for a great price with excellent wines, service and kitchen. Hidden restaurant at the first floor above the road of the Tomoya residence Hotel in the old town of Kyoto. 4 Tables to serve and please reserve a table. French or international kitchen at a high level , Michelin ! We get a very stunning and delightful meal at the evening. ONE OF THE BEST IN KYOTO, my opinion. Thank you...

This place is unbelievable. The food is so delicious and beautifully presented.

Cost performance is very good. So worth it. Atmosphere is so relaxing. The service is excellent and server very kind and knowledgeable.

I regretted not getting the more expensive course as I wanted to try more dishes. I didn’t want to leave.

I will definitely come back again on my next trip to Kyoto. I am already dreaming...
