FORNI

This restaurant with a stunning Japanese Garden view serves good pizza! If you like spice and a bit of kick in your food, do ask for the Kuro Shichimi (black 7 seasoning) Service is impeccable.

Food was outstanding unfortunately I didn’t finish my Omakase. A Vietnamese family had children running in the restaurant, a crying baby, then instead of paying and leaving a woman got out her cell phone and started talking very loud to someone on it. The restaurant did nothing to control this. Money doesn’t buy class is the message. In a place where those with a little money compared to others can create havoc without consequence, I’d look elsewhere for your dining out dollars.

Absolutely lovely restaurant in a luxurious feeling hotel tucked away in Kyoto. We went for an evening dinner and the inner pond of the hotel looked amazing (in addition to the calming atmosphere inside with dimmed lighting and gas fires). The food was incredible - we had ordered the whitebait risotto (portion size on the small side) and the wagyu beef burger (larger portion size). For desert we ordered the strawberry and vanilla cake. Prices are to be expected from a 5 star hotel but for the quality of the food it felt appropriate. The service from the waiting staff was overall okay but they did make some mistakes (forgot to give us knives with the meals and gave us our mains before clearing our finished starter plates).

What a luxurious dining experience! Everything from the warm modern decor to the kind and attentive staff made us feel welcome. The food was superb! Each dish highlighted the quality of the ingredients and had such unique and carefully crafted flavors. The beautiful garden next to the restaurant that you can stroll through is the perfect cherry on top,

Had breakfast here for my previous stay at the MITSUI. It was such an amazing experience, getting elevated Japanese breakfast option overlooking the snowy garden during winters. Love the set menu so much, especially how fresh all the ingredients. Loving the service as well, servers were very prompt with my orders. I love the ambiance above all, loving how the vocal point is the garden. Make sure to book the garden side tables! Very recommended.

Very fancy restaurant. Good service and good food. Nothing special about it. It is not clear why prices so high, probably because of it's location inside of 5 star hotel, and very fancy interior. Food 4.5/5. Service 4.5/5 (they forget to serve knife). Anyway we had good time there.

We had the Japanese-style breakfast with buffet. Although the selection was not very large, every dish was beautifully prepared, delicious, and of high quality. You can truly taste the freshness and attention to detail in each item. The atmosphere was calm, elegant, and very comfortable and perfect place to enjoy a peaceful morning. The staff were warm, polite, and attentive, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a refined and relaxing breakfast experience.

Very good food overall. Good service as expected in a 5 star hotel. Lunch deal is decent value starting at 5000 yen for 4 courses including dessert and coffee/tea at the end.
