Kyoto Restaurant (Food) Guide

Most people will include Kyoto as their part of itinerary when they visit Japan, especially for the first timer. I did not need any help to find list of temples & shrines I want to visit when I visited Kyoto for the first time, as there's simply too many.
















What I found rather difficult was finding a good restaurant! Well partly it's because of my ridiculous expectation (must taste good, cheap, traditional Japanese atmosphere, and English menu).
















After 3 times in Kyoto, I finally found this free guide book, "Kyoto Restaurant Guide Book - A selection of Kyoto's best restaurant".























It's published by Kyoto City Tourist Association, in English, complete with the location map, suggestion menu & price for each restaurant! Download the PDF version from here.

















They have 2 other guidebooks that will be useful for your travel in Kyoto:
1. Kyoto Tourist Guidebook
2. Kyoto Sight Seeing Map
















Bring this guidebook along with you. Or else you will end up in the supermarket searching for food like I did.
