Grill & Coffee Hasegawa
A five-minute walk from Kitaoji Station on the Kyoto Subway Karasuma Line. Not far from the Kamo River is "Grill & Coffee Hasegawa" with its cozy retro and relaxed atmosphere. In addition to the standard hamburger set, there are so many attractive menu items, such as steak set and fried oysters, that I always find myself looking for more.
We especially recommend the fried shrimp served with a thick hamburger steak. The fried prawns are well battered and plump, a dish that should be tried at least once.
The set menus are generous in volume, so even students and office workers can fill up. Please try them.
kitchen dragon
The main restaurant, Kitchen Gon, has been in business for 50 years and is located on Rokkaku-dori, about a 6-minute walk from Karasuma-Oike Station on the Kyoto Subway Karasuma Line. The signboard of the restaurant reads “Pineapple Rice,” but many people may not be familiar with it.
Pineapple rice is a dish of fried rice and pork cutlet topped with curry sauce. The menu was created out of a desire to incorporate familiar dishes into a Western-style restaurant, which at the time of its establishment had a strong image of a high-class restaurant...!
In addition to curry sauce, there are many other arrangements, such as demi-glace sauce, cheese-covered, and greedy pinelli-rice with Neapolitan filling.
In the restaurant's relaxed atmosphere full of warmth of wood, you can find the pineraice that best suits your tastes!
Meat & Western Cuisine Otake
If you want to eat juicy meat for lunch, I recommend "Meat and Western Cuisine Otake", a Western-style restaurant specializing in meat! If so, we recommend "Niku Yoshoku Otake," a Western-style restaurant specializing in meat. It is located on Kawabata Nijo Street, a 6-minute walk from Exit 10 of Keihan Sanjo Station.
The red meat steak made from Danto Mountain highland beef is a fascinating dish that once you try it, you will never forget it. The vegetables used to accompany the meat are also fresh and in season.
The restaurant offers a lunch menu as well as dinner courses and take-out!
