Casual Gourmet Quest

~2023 Kyoto Trip⑩~ 2023/9/XX (Breakfast) "Tysons and Company" is an American restaurant along the Kamo River. We decided to have breakfast here on our last day as it was close to our accommodation. We made a reservation through TableCheck. The interior was simple and modern, different from what we had imagined. They have a cooling floor seating area (at an additional cost) from May to October, but we reserved a table inside. We were seated by the Kamo River, but the sunlight was strong and it was hot, making it a bit challenging for a meal environment. For two people, I think sitting at the counter would be a better choice for breakfast. We chose the following from the brunch menu. Orders are placed by scanning a QR code. ■ Buttermilk Pancake Combo Plate @ 2,200 yen (tax included) ■ Coffee @ 680 yen * Free refills The pancake combo comes with bacon, eggs, sausage, and kale salad. The bacon, scrambled eggs, and sausage were all delicious. Especially, the sausage was juicy and flavorful. The pancakes were light and fluffy, and the whipped butter was high quality, creating a nice balance of sweet and savory with maple syrup. With a drink, it's close to 3,000 yen, so opinions may vary on the value. Whether or not you feel that the price is justified considering the space, view, atmosphere, and service may be the deciding factor. For those who feel that the price is reasonable for the experience of this unique restaurant, it may be a good choice. We personally did not find the value matching the price. It seems that naturally, tourists would be the main target audience, but the service was very polite and hospitable. Thank you for the meal.

I forgot to take a photo of the food, but I used it at a cafe. I had cheesecake, chocolate terrine, and matcha latte. They were all delicious, and the view from the window was nice! I heard their breakfast is famous, so I want to come back again. Dinner seemed a bit expensive.

I visited the restaurant for the second time with my friends, wanting to have a little bit of alcohol after the meal. The pork rillette was especially delicious, and I enjoyed it with a summer beer while chatting. It was a happy night in Kyoto after a long time.

Located along the river, this restaurant offers seats with varying views of the river. There are plenty of terrace seats as well, so you can enjoy dining by the river. I visited for breakfast and it was quite crowded. It's a popular spot from the morning. I ordered the pancake combo, which was satisfying in portion size and delicious in taste. The restaurant has a stylish atmosphere, making it suitable for a girls' get-together or a date. I definitely want to come back again.

I visited the restaurant after making a reservation the day before. Although the web reservation was full, it seems that they can hold a table if you call. The interior with a river, greenery, and wooden decor is lovely. I ordered the most basic pancake plate, and it was delicious. The place was full of female customers, but it was relatively quiet, allowing for a relaxed time. However, hmm... adding a drink makes it close to ¥3000, so I can't say it's cost-effective.

In Gion, there is a French cafe called Natsuba where you can enjoy lunch and dinner on a cooling floor during the summer. However, on extremely hot days, the staff may advise against it because it gets really hot. I tried the seasonal fruit pancakes, which were topped with berries. The pancakes were stacked in three layers, making it a satisfying dish. Although I was seated on the opposite side of the Kamogawa River, I still had a lovely view of the stream flowing through Gion. Looking at the photos, you might think it looks quite sweet, but the raspberries on top provided a refreshing touch, making it a dish that didn't feel too heavy on sweetness. The best part about this place is its excellent location! The dinner menu also offers many stylish options, so I would like to visit during the evening next time.

I went to this cafe with 5 friends from college for breakfast. We ordered pancakes with eggs, sausages, and cafe lattes. The portions were quite generous and filled us up! One of my friends ordered a burger, which also came in a huge portion. Everything was beautifully presented and looked great. The sausages and pancakes were delicious! The cafe had a bright and stylish atmosphere. There was a 2-hour time limit, and the staff kindly reminded us when our time was up. It was crowded, but the seating was comfortable and we had a great time chatting.

I arrived early and managed to get there without waiting in line. It was a scorching hot day, so I opted for indoor seating, although there was also the option of dining on the riverbed, which was deemed dangerous today. However, the indoor area felt hot as well, as staff kept coming and going from the riverbed. I ordered a plate with buttermilk pancakes topped with sausages and fried eggs, which cost 2200 yen. The pancakes were generously drizzled with syrup, and the combination of sweet and salty flavors with the sausages was delicious. I had no problem finishing my meal.

This is my third visit. I had sea urchin and seaweed risotto, scallop tartare, green gaspacho, peach mango crumble, and vanilla gelato. There is always something new to discover here. The prices are reasonable and the staff are always friendly. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I visited during lunchtime on a regular day and it was quite crowded. From the counter seats on the second floor, I could enjoy the view of Kiyamachi street and the greenery along the river while having my meal. The pancakes were popular, so I ordered the seasonal fruit pancakes. They were described as having a slightly firm texture, but they were voluminous and satisfying to eat. There is also a bar counter on the second floor, and there were customers of various ages enjoying their meals at the counter seats or the table seats along the Kamogawa River. The staff were relatively friendly and easy to talk to, making the atmosphere very pleasant. As it is a popular restaurant, reservations are necessary, but I highly recommend this place.

I was hungry and ordered a variety of dishes. Besides the fried chicken, everything was to my liking. They had two types of craft beer, both of which were easy to drink and enjoyable. Personally, the most delicious dish was the fried potatoes. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was comfortable and not too noisy.

Kacto, a trendy cafe along the Kamo River ❤️ Their meaty wagyu patty with teriyaki sauce was amazing ❤️ The sweet potatoes were also delicious and I ended up finishing everything quickly. I'm curious about their pancakes, so I'll definitely come back for them next time! This season, they also have a Kyoto-style "cooling floor" where you can relax and enjoy your time. ✨

I have been looking forward to visiting this restaurant since it opened. Finally, I was able to go, and the pancake brunch was indeed delicious as rumored! The pancakes were tasty and they also pay attention to the eggs and vegetables, which made me very satisfied. The view from the table was also enjoyable, making it a wonderful brunch experience!

The trendy cafe lunch was hard to get a reservation, so I recommend booking early. I made a reservation three weeks in advance this time. I thought it was just about the atmosphere, but it was delicious. The pancakes were not too sweet and light, so I think it's good even for men who don't like sweet things. However, spending around 3000 yen for a drink and pancakes is a bit expensive in terms of cost performance.

I chose from the brunch menu. It was my first time trying kale salad, and I found that it was surprisingly good even raw, without any strong taste. The sausages were crispy and juicy! I ate the fried egg in one bite without breaking the yolk. Delicious! The pancakes came with maple syrup, so I ate them after finishing my main dish. The pancakes themselves were not too sweet, so I enjoyed them with plenty of syrup! So tasty! (laughs)

This is my second visit. I was able to have lunch outside because they had set up a riverbed, which wasn't there before. The strong sunlight was a bit of a bother, but the view of Kyoto scenery lifted my mood. The bridge right next to us meant there were quite a few passersby, but dining amidst the picturesque Kyoto landscape was a delightful experience.

I made a reservation around 18:00 and visited the restaurant. It was located along the Kamo River and had a riverside seating area. I recommend making a reservation early if you want to secure a good seat! This time, I sat at the counter on the second floor. I ordered three appetizers (Tamba black pork prosciutto, mixed olives and smoked nuts, burrata cheese with Kyoto green onions in miso marinade and bacon chips, sea bream carpaccio with perilla and pickled turnip relish) and the main dish, domestic beef sirloin steak with roasted new onions, pickled wild vegetables, and chimichurri sauce. I was surprised by the thickness of the prosciutto. It was cut thick and very tender and delicious! The sea bream carpaccio was refreshing with perilla and pickled turnip. I forgot to take a photo of the drink menu and the burrata cheese dish, but for drinks, I had a fruity sangria for the first round, which was sweet and easy to drink. For the second round, I ordered wine. When I described the type of wine I like to the staff, they selected one for me. Since the main dish was meat, I chose white wine as I am not a big fan of red wine. I enjoyed a Gerard Bertrand Orange Gold orange wine, which had a strong flavor and aroma that didn't overshadow the main dish. By the time the main dish arrived, the restaurant had dimmed its lights, creating a nice atmosphere. This restaurant opens at 8:00 in the morning, so I would love to visit again.

A popular chain from Tokyo has opened in Kyoto! It seems to be the most talked about place in 2023. The restaurant has long opening hours, a nice atmosphere, and seating available, but it is quite expensive. I made a reservation for 5:30 pm on a holiday. There were some customers without reservations who arrived before me, but it seemed like the restaurant was almost fully booked with reservations. [What I ate] Bellini ¥1,050 Lychee Mojito ¥950 Ham Plate ¥1,200 Crispy Fried Potatoes ¥980 Carpaccio ¥1,200 Roasted Bamboo ¥2,000 I'm sorry, but it may be good for breakfast or lunch, but it's difficult to use for dinner. I'm not sure who they are targeting with their concept. There were a lot of nuts and potatoes, but only a small amount of fish. Is it a place to eat or a place to drink? There is only one food menu option with limited choices. The taste itself was neither good nor bad, just "expensive." The service was also lacking. You have to ask for a new plate, they won't change it automatically. The same goes for refilling your glass, they won't ask if you want another drink. I also forgot something and called 40 minutes later, but they didn't notice until I mentioned it. The service was not bad, but for this price range, I would expect better service. If you are specifically looking for seating, be aware of the following information on their official website: - We do not charge a seating fee, but we have a minimum charge for food and drinks. Brunch: ¥3,500 per person (¥2,000 for children) Dinner: ¥7,000 per person (¥3,500 for children) - If your food and drink bill does not meet the minimum charge, you will be asked to pay the difference. It's quite a bold pricing strategy. This restaurant is part of the Tyson's and Company group, which also operates popular restaurants like CICADA, IVY PLACE, and CRESSCROSS. I have visited several of their establishments and have always thought they were nice, so I may have had high expectations. But for fans of this group, I cannot particularly recommend this place, especially for dinner. I apologize for being critical. Thank you for the meal.

I went to a stylish cafe located just across the Acorn Bridge and tried their recommended buttermilk pancakes. I was worried about finishing the three pancakes, but I managed to eat them all. They tasted even better with the whipped butter and maple syrup on top. It was quite crowded, probably because of Golden Week, so I had to get a numbered ticket and wait to be called via text message. The interior of the cafe was lovely and relaxing, but I recommend going early.

I made a reservation as soon as the cool seating area opened and visited. Online reservations are available from 8:00 the day before. There are seats available for walk-ins as well. But this is the only place with a view of the Kamogawa River! It was a brunch during Golden Week, so I ordered a cocktail and just exceeded the minimum spending of 3500 yen. Solo activities are tough. The pancakes were consistently delicious. Since it was a cool seating area, I'll give it a 4.5 rating.
