The seating is limited, but the food was delicious and the service was excellent! Today's pasta was tomato and watercress pasta.

I made a reservation understanding the Jalan points! The stylish BAR on the first floor of the hotel has a nice atmosphere. Lunch on weekends is a great deal! This time, I chose the shrimp and mushroom tomato cream pasta. While waiting, I had salad and bread! After the meal, I had coffee and this time, Basque cheesecake! It was delicious!

My name is Keinsuke! Today, I will introduce the lunch I had at the hotel "Agora" in Shijo, Kyoto. Located in Kyoto Shijo, the hotel "Agora Kyoto Shijo" houses the bar "BAR AL BOCADILLO" on the first floor. I visited around 1 pm and enjoyed lunch at the bar counter in a spacious and almost empty atmosphere. <FOOD> ◎ Agora Black Curry & Pork Cutlet (1000 yen) The pitch-black beef curry is filled with chunks of beef, topped with freshly fried crispy pork cutlet. Although I usually prefer spicy curry, the occasional European-style curry with a mild and flavorful taste was enjoyable. I added a hot spring egg for an extra 100 yen, making the curry even milder and creamier. You can also add vegetables for an additional 200 yen. I opted to have a separate plate of salad with my curry. Additionally, you can add cheese for 200 yen if you like. ◎ Homemade Basque Cheesecake (450 yen) A moist and soft cheesecake that is just the right size for a light dessert after a hearty curry meal. Other dessert options include caramel cake and tart. <Summary> A hotel lunch that you can enjoy without staying at the hotel! With a relaxed atmosphere and delicious food, I recommend visiting when you are in Kyoto.

I used it for the third stop of my bar hopping in Kyoto Shijo. There was one customer before me, and no customers after me. Perhaps due to the season, there were few people, so I was able to spend a very relaxing time. It is a dining bar on the first floor of a hotel, and the atmosphere is solid as expected from being attached to a hotel. The small tapas-style snacks were just right for hopping between bars. The house wine, both red and white, was also affordable at 480 yen. The prosciutto and shrimp aioli, smelt escabeche, and shrimp and mushroom ajillo were all delicious. My impression might have been different if it was my first stop, but as the third stop, I think it was a hit.

A stylish bar near the intersection of Shijo Street and Shijo Horikawa serving lunch. The popular choice on the lunch menu is curry, with toppings available as an option. The most popular topping is the pork cutlet! The interior of the restaurant has a bar-like atmosphere. Even on a holiday lunchtime, there were customers enjoying a drink. The curry is more like a black curry, with a decent level of spiciness and a rich flavor. The cutlet topping is a thick piece of freshly fried pork loin, which complements the curry well. This restaurant has earned a spot on my list for a revisit.

Lunchtime on this day, I was recommended by a female colleague to try this new restaurant located inside a hotel. Without someone telling me about it, I probably wouldn't have come all the way here for lunch. The interior of the restaurant is much larger than it looks from the outside, and I was seated at a table near the entrance. I was intrigued by the "Black Curry" but ended up ordering the "Chicken Leg Roman-style Stew (1,300 yen)." First, a salad set was served. Then came the main dish and bread. It was a hearty portion. The snap peas and komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach) on top of the chicken were beautifully presented. The meat was tender, and the gentle seasoning was comforting. I enjoyed dipping the chewy bread into the tomato sauce. By the way, if you go further into the restaurant, it connects seamlessly to the hotel section without a door, so you can also access the smoking area during your meal. Looking at the hotel's official website, the atmosphere seems lovely at night. I had a relaxing meal in a calm atmosphere. Thank you for the meal. ◎ Blog [Kokoromanoma] https://ameblo.jp/39lohas/entry-12690957816.html

The pasta was rich and delicious. The cheesecake was a bit light for my taste.

I stayed at a hotel and felt a little hungry, so I went to the bar. I had the black curry, which was delicious with tasty meat. It had that hotel curry feel to it. The price was reasonable and convenient to use.

Located on the 1st floor of Agora Kyoto Shijo, Bar Al Bocadillo is a restaurant with a classic modern sophistication that is inspired by the essence of a townhouse where people can casually visit.

During lunchtime, you can enjoy daily specials like pasta sets, Agora Black Curry, paninis, and a variety of drinks. I chose the pasta lunch, panini, and tart. The pasta lunch comes with bread, salad, and coffee. The shrimp and mushroom tomato cream pasta was cooked al dente and had a good balance with the creamy sauce. The optional homemade Basque cheesecake had a silky texture with a mild sweetness, making it a perfect dessert. The panini with bolognese and two types of cheese was delicious with the rich flavor of the meat and crispy bread. The restaurant has a luxurious yet casual atmosphere, making it suitable for both lunch and cafe use with a variety of sweets and drinks.
