"Maribel Kyoto Main Store" is a popular restaurant located in Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City. Currently, it has a Tabelog rating of 3.74 and ranks 188th in the Tabelog ranking for Kyoto Prefecture, out of approximately 22,000 restaurants. Additionally, it is ranked 2nd in the Tabelog ranking for "Chocolate" in Kyoto Prefecture. I visited the cafe section before lunch. The restaurant is located to the east of Karasuma Oike Station on the subway, about a 7-8 minute walk from the station. Upon arrival, I entered the restaurant, and on a holiday at 11:05 AM, there were no customers in the cafe area on the right side of the entrance. I had previously encountered a full house during afternoon visits, but it seems that it's smooth to use if you visit right after opening. I took a seat at a high-quality table. I checked the menu and ordered gelato this time, which cost 1,430 yen (tax included). I also added a hot coffee, bringing the total to 2,090 yen. After a short wait, the long-awaited dessert arrived. I was able to enjoy delicious gelato. "Maribel Kyoto Main Store" has been selected as one of the "Top 100 Restaurants" that have received high ratings from Tabelog users in various genres. It was chosen for the "Tabelog Sweets Top 100 2022." It has received evaluations like, "If you want to encounter something delicious now, you absolutely can't miss this place." During the morning hours, I successfully finished two types of gelato. I was able to confirm its taste. Kyoto Prefecture has many wonderful famous restaurants.
