There is an impression that you cannot have Kyo-ryori unless you stay in a Ryokan. However, there are many Ryokan that offer lunch and dinner only services. It is possible to stay at a hotel yet experience Kyo-ryori in a Ryokan just for the meal. By all means, try Kyoto cuisine in a Ryokan and enjoy dinner as you would in a restaurant.
However, there is time consuming work that needs to be done to prepare Kyo-ryori and Japanese cuisine. Please make sure to reserve in advance and avoid cancellations so the effors of our chefs don't go to waste.
