Yawata, Kyoto, Japan｜気まぐれ市場

Enjoying a meal here is like taking a quick trip to Provence! A treasure trove of memorabilia, the walls are plastered with vintage wine posters, theater flyers, snapshots, and the like. Even the register is set up like the front desk in a small inn that serves meals. Absolutely enchanting! Everything is fresh and delicious, and the course menu at lunch is a real value. Various wines and French cocktails (Kir anyone?) are reasonably priced. Reservations are best, but they may be able to take you same-day if you call ahead. Let them know if you need a parking space. Bon voyage!

The southern French food was fresh, the vegetables were juicy, and the bread was all delicious. And it's reasonable! I will ask again.

I was surprised to find such a wonderful French restaurant in my neighborhood. Moreover, it seems to be a southern French dish, not a Paris one. The building also has a somewhat eccentric atmosphere, which is probably what it feels like. This time I had a LUNCH course that included fish and meat. Everything from appetizer to dessert was perfect. Please try it!
