Top Lounge Orizzonte — Restaurant in Kyoto

I went to this restaurant on June 7 for dinner. Food is good. Recipe is very classic. The beef stew is the star of the night. It is cooked to perfection. The sauce is so delicious that I even use the sauce to eat the hamburger steak. The demi glace sauce is rather sticky and light. I prefer the beef stew sauce for the burger steak.

Full breakfast buffet with huge selection of Japanese, western and some Chinese food. Very good deal for a premium hotel. Staff exceptionally friemdly and efficiently removing used dishes so you can revisit the buffet as often as you wish.

We are only reviewing the breakfast buffet. This is a beautiful restaurant at the top of Hotel Okura. The views of Kyoto and surrounding area are wonderful. The buffet itself was fine. Its got all the usual suspects of western and Japanese/Asian ingredients. And of course its got coffee with the option of automatic ground or brewed. ...
