The restaurant opens at 11:30 and offers all-you-can-eat until 2:30. It is located on the first floor of a hotel. There were many people, including elderly, from the opening time and the dishes were replenished quickly. It seemed like there were quite a few repeat customers based on the conversations. The variety of dishes was satisfying!

I have visited this place several times, but I remembered it and decided to visit after a long time for a relaxing experience. It was quite crowded on Sunday, but the food was quite good. There were a variety of dishes, and I stayed from the opening at 11:30 am until 3 pm. There were many types of cakes, and the menu changed with the time, which is great for big eaters. The price will increase to 2200 yen in two days, but it is still cheap and delicious. I highly recommend it for those who want to stay for a long time.

Visited on Thursday, September 23, 2021, around 11:30 AM. I stayed at Urban Hotel Kyoto Nijo Premium along Senbon Street. I had planned to have the breakfast buffet, but I was able to switch to the lunch buffet at no additional cost, so I headed there. The venue is on the first floor of the hotel. Not only guests staying at the hotel but also non-staying guests are welcome, and the lunch buffet is ¥1650 (tax included). Moreover, there is no time limit, so you can leisurely enjoy your meal from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM (last order). This hotel seems to put a lot of effort into their buffets, making it a hidden gem spot with all-you-can-eat options at a reasonable price. How many varieties? From Japanese to Western to desserts, there is a wide range of dishes available, and just when you think you've tried everything, new dishes are quickly lined up for a second round. The variety is wide, and there are menus that cater to children and elderly people! Everything is delicious and visually appealing, making it a fun lunch buffet! ('∇') While I didn't particularly feel the Kyoto vibe, they incorporate plenty of seasonal ingredients. COVID-19 measures are also thoroughly implemented, so be sure to wear gloves and a mask! If you don't, you will be promptly reminded! I had booked a plan with breakfast included, so the bill was ¥0 (free). (You can change from breakfast to lunch for free) I think the cost performance is quite good! ('∇') Instagram @moritapan7 There are also videos available.

A hotel located about an 8-minute walk from Nijo Station. There is a supermarket on the way, so it's convenient to buy snacks or drinks before check-in. I requested breakfast for the next day at check-in. The price is 1500 yen for adults (including tax, 1650 yen) for a buffet menu. Breakfast starts at 6:30 in the morning, which is great for those who want to start their day early for sightseeing. At check-in, I was given a card key, which is needed to use the elevator on the first floor and enter the room. The room does not have a bathtub, but it has a shower room with a large shower head. If you want to take a bath, there is a communal bath available. On the first floor, there is a service of lemon water, coffee, and tea bags, as well as a few newspapers. The next morning, around 6:22, there was already one couple waiting on the floor. At 6:29, a few more guests arrived, all seemingly eager to start their breakfast. Some of them had booked a rental car for 8:00, so they were conscious of the time. By 6:30, we were seated one by one, avoiding a frenzy. The buffet had a decent selection of food, and despite the crowd around 7:00, it was still enjoyable. It got quite busy by 7:00, with even foreigners in short sleeves despite it being November. Non-guests can also use the buffet, so it's recommended for guests to come early. The staff promptly cleared the used dishes, which was appreciated.

In the Nakagyo Ward of Kyoto City. Thanks to the Chinese herbal turtle jelly I ate at Daikoku the day before, I woke up not with indigestion, but with an empty stomach. When this happens, I can't wait for breakfast. The number of tables is not that many. The restaurant was crowded, so I had to wait a bit before being seated. (I didn't take any photos inside because it was full) It was a buffet style with a mix of Japanese and Western dishes. There were plenty of choices. There was "simmered pumpkin" next to the pumpkin dish. How Kyoto-like~♪ I thought to myself. And then, I remembered when I went to "Takasegawa Kurio" in Shimogyo Ward. There was "stir-fried Seigoin daikon" on the menu, and a customer nearby said, "Titan? What's this? Isn't it a game god? He seems strong, so let's order it." I almost burst out laughing when I heard that. Leaving that aside, I picked my favorite side dishes on a small tray that doubled as a plate. I tend to serve too much, so the photos don't come out well. (laughs) All the side dishes were delicious, but the "pasta of the day" was too mushy and limp. For dessert, there was pudding, matcha yokan, warabi mochi, ohagi, and more. I tried one of each. I finished with coffee. It was Kyoto World Coffee. A strong coffee with bitterness and depth. I'm so full!

While exploring Arashiyama, it started raining so I had to cancel my plans and headed to this hotel from Saga-Arashiyama Station, taking the JR train to Nijo Station. It was a bit further from the station than I expected, next to the Kaio Academy dormitory, just a short walk from the bus stop. The hotel is not very noticeable as it is lined up with apartment buildings and mixed-use buildings. Upon entering through the glass door, I was seated at a table for two at 11:20. I had to wait a bit until the starting time of 11:30, and looking at the spread of food, the variety was a bit limited. However, they had Western dishes, Japanese dishes, bread and soba, rice dishes, cakes and Japanese sweets, as well as drinks. The Western dishes included omelets, steak, hamburgers, and gratin. The Japanese dishes included stir-fried pumpkin, simmered dried radish, konjac sashimi, and shumai. There was also okayu, soba and pasta, croissants, roll bread, curry rice, granola and cereal, pudding, tiramisu, green tea, chocolate cake, warabi mochi, ohagi, miso soup, corn soup, hot coffee, tea bags for black tea, orange juice, apple juice, and oolong tea, among others. Additionally, they added items like prosciutto and stir-fried pork with vegetables. Despite thinking that the variety was limited, I couldn't try everything. I wonder why they didn't have iced coffee and iced tea. More customers kept coming in, mostly locals. There didn't seem to be many hotel guests, perhaps because they had a hearty breakfast or preferred to explore tourist spots rather than leisurely having lunch here. On weekdays, it costs 1404 yen (tax included), and on weekends, it's 1620 yen. It was a satisfying meal.

The variety of dishes was limited, but each dish was well-prepared and delicious. The dishes were promptly replenished as they ran out, allowing us to enjoy until the end. However, I was a little surprised when an elderly waiter tried to take my son's plate away even though there was still some food left. When I said, "Oh, he's not finished yet," the waiter still took it away forcefully.

This is the third time. It's a buffet. The individual dishes are delicious, but there are very few types of dishes. They have salad, main (meat, fish), and dessert, but the variety is limited. Buffets are expected to have a wide variety of dishes, so it's a bit disappointing. Also, it was surprising that some dishes were no longer available after just 30 minutes. It's a shame because they were delicious.

The lunch buffet (1650 yen) was delicious, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. The quality of the food was excellent, as expected from a hotel restaurant. It was a fun experience trying out different dishes. However, the dessert selection was a bit disappointing as it was limited.

Restaurant located on the first floor of Urban Hotel Nijo. While the buffet has a limited variety, the food is delicious. By registering on LINE, you can receive a 300 yen discount coupon.

I was able to eat a lot of delicious food slowly!
