Nantan, Kyoto, Japan｜Cafe Le Jardin Pop

Had lunch here recently. Probably one of the best French restaurants in Japan. I lived in France for a year and can testify to the dishes authenticity!!! The price is too cheap for the quality. The service was very nice and the restaurant itself wonderful! They serve food that Michelin guide restaurants can’t!

It is definitely the best French restaurant in this area and probably one of the best in Japan. I went there twice already and each time I experienced a fabulous thin "cuisine"!

The interior of the restaurant is so beautiful that it makes you feel like you've taken a short trip to Provence. I felt like I was in the south of France and felt a little dreamy. The dishes were cooked simply to bring out the charm of the ingredients, and each dish was plentiful and delicious! In particular, the watermelon gazpacho is a masterpiece with a refreshing, summer-like taste that perfectly blends the sweetness of the watermelon and the sourness of the tomato. The roasted vegetables that served as the main garnish were delicious with a large variety of items, and were drizzled with olive oil that probably had the aroma of fresh basil, which brought out the flavor of the vegetables and had a wonderful aroma as an accent. The homemade bread is chewy and really delicious. This is a recommended restaurant that you would want to visit while feeling like you are on vacation while driving through the beautiful countryside.
