Its least expensive dinner course is ¥12,000 (on Tabelog), 23% below the ¥15,500 median of the 21 French restaurants in Kyoto ranked nearest to it. It takes bookings online only in Japanese, on Ikyu Restaurant; 32 of the 63 French restaurants in Kyoto can be booked online in English. Good for a seat at the counter, an anniversary (it prepares a celebration if asked when booking), and dining alone (Tabelog's users recommend it for one). Course prices that sources agree on: ¥12,000 on both Tabelog and Ikyu; ¥8,500 on both Tabelog and Ikyu.
