Ran Shui — Restaurant in Kyoto

Cool little place. My wife chose it because of the photo of the pizza and bc it said "most beautiful cafe in kyoto" The waiter was great and the place is very nice to sit and have a meal, however the pizza is a pre made one that's just heated in the oven, it was very average. I had the Mayo mahem (or what ever the mayo one is called), the rest of the family got Margaritas and said they enjoyed theirs. 7200 yen, $75 AUD for 4 small, very average pizzas and a glass Coke each is a bit steep. Unfortunately the wife insisted as she wanted to eat rather than continue walking.

When I asked about drinks the waiter laughed and said, oh no, for that price it comes with a drink and had a good old chuckle. 🤣 he knows what's going on.

So if you don't care about prices, or don't have a budget, nor care for a good meal then go right ahead and enjoy an a little over priced...

A very lovely shop near the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. We got there a little early, but the owners were so sweet and immediately let us in. They speak limited English, but it is easy for foreigners to order.

We got their tea sets with a dessert for 1280 yen each and it was delicious! All of the coffees (cappuccino, Americano, and a cafe latte) were exceptionally made - my cafe latte was a little milkier than most people are use to, but perfect for me. (The coffees and teas come out in Versace and Hermes tea sets!) The desserts (waffle, pudding, and creme brulee cheesecake) were sweet and paired with the coffees well.

We sat outside and people watched as they walked by. 10/10, would come again!

(Side note and this is not a negative thing, but they do not have Hokkaido/lactose free...

If you like paying way too much money for convince store food, then you should definitely go here. This place is definitely a tourist trap, we were distracted by it's weird decor and thought it could be a fun place for lunch. However, all you can say for the food is that it's edible. My partners food came out 15 minutes before mine (a sandwich) and then we saw my food sitting for 5 minutes while the staff member couldn't figure out who (out of the three tables of people) had ordered it. I was literally the only person not eating something in the cafe. Our meals were also the most expensive and worst food we've had in Japan so far. Don't make...
