[2023] 7 Recommended Lunches at Kyoto Townhouses

We introduce seven spots where you can enjoy lunch in a machiya, including a secluded restaurant in a back alley and a cafe where you can stretch your wings and relax. Why not spend a special lunch time while being healed in a machiya space unique to Kyoto?

6. Mediterranean cuisine at RIFIFI STUDIO, which retains the atmosphere of a factory / Nishijin<br>

This is a hideaway restaurant run by a French owner. The building was originally a Nishijin textile factory, and the earthen walls and traces of the looms installed in the earthen floor have been daringly left intact. The daily changing plate, which offers several Mediterranean dishes, comes with baguette, cumin-scented focaccia, and other breads made by the owner that go well with the dishes, as well as soup that changes daily.
