Benoit Kyoto

This is one of the restaurant I like to share in my Kyoto trip last summer. I strongly recommend people visiting Kiyomizu-dera Temple stop by have a peaceful meal, where modern deco meets historic zen architecture. The servers are very well trained and polite, they know when to pick up plates and bring out the next dish, so that we can have a relaxing lunch, enjoying the view and food. They arranged the best view table for our family. All dishes are nicely presented and taste very good. One of the best memories in Kyoto.

Great place for a French cuisine fine dinning. Cost is in between 9000 to 14000 Yen depends 3 to 5 course you choose. Manager Sato is excellent with fluent English.

Beyond description. Must visit. I went there in a rainy day and so serene and calm. Shrimp with Bisque sauce was my favorite. The rich, creamy, and flavorful sauce gets its depth of flavor.

Visited to treat my mom for Mother’s Day. I chose afternoon tea this time and every pastry and cake was so detailed and delicious. This was one of the best afternoon tea I’ve had. I would love to come back for lunch and dinner. Would’ve been nice if it was more clear to see the scenery outside because it was covered with the trees and stuff.

Overall great dinner experience at Benoit Kyoto! The location of the restaursnt is very nice as well with great views. We had a very lovely server who tried very hard to speak English with us. Each dish was great, my favorite was the dessert I had. It was the chocolate creme brulee. With dessert, they brought out freshly baked madelines as well.

Hostess:5/5 Server: 2/5 Food:3/5 price:5/5 Atmosphere:5/5 cutlery：5/5 (some of Christofle) Super excited to dine there, we bit late but our hostess is super nice to care of us. Unfortunately, one of a server is not a great service. No hospitality. No explanation. But we had a 20-off-service lunch, then no complaints. The desert is amazing, but the first and second(main)… disappointment of Alain ducas….

My friend and I went for my 21st birthday and it was incredible. We both had the two appetisers, a main and a dessert with a hot drink. I never thought I would ever try snail in my life until coming here it was so tasteful I highly recommend. Nothing on the menu disappointed. Waiters/ress’ were so kind and their English was great. Will come back on my next trip! <3
