先斗町 京の居酒屋 「ぽんと」

A tourist spot really, outside terrace overlooking the river, if you want. And at a price I think. Some rules to stop tourists from just having a beer and just staying. But all that was OK, we just wanted a beer and some food. Lots of choice in the menu, bit tapas like. We enjoyed all the option...s we ordered. Not much was open at late afternoon when we wanted to eat.

A nice little Izakaya on Pontocho Alley. The food is good and reasonable, and the service is great. They charge an extra fee if you want to sit at a table facing the Kamo River. I can't remember exactly how much, but it was like 300 yen per person. It was a perfectly OK place but it didn't feel ver...y authentic as I was the only one who spoke Japanese. The rest were all foreign tourists. Nothing wrong with that but I prefer more of a local place. Visiting once was OK but I'll probably never go back.

Walked in here not knowing they will have vegetarian/vegan food. And oh man! Was a in for a surprise. Their tofu salad was out of the world. I have never had tofu like this. Soft and melts in your mouth. I’m so glad I came to this place. The tempura was very good. We also got the Ava dashi tofu with...out the dashi(broth) because it had bonito flakes. But fried to perfection and ate it with soy sauce and some green onion. The drinks were top-notch! And service was so good, very kind and welcoming people. Must come here if you want to try tofu/ vegan snacks with drinks!

You can have it all here. Menu items include sushi, chicken and beef skewers, grilled meats and seafood, tempura, just to name a few. The location is great in Kyoto center across the bridge from Gieon. Large seating area suitable for large groups, family and kids. Not expensive and very good service....
