ANTONIO

Antonio-san, thank you. I had a great time at your restaurant with my friends. You are very funny man but also great chef. I love you. I want to eat your spare libs and oishi chicken paella again. Your dishes are the best. Please teach me how to cook like you. I will come back soon with all my work ...colleagues. They want to taste best Spanish food as well.

Finding Antonio’s restaurant was the highlight of my family’s trip to Kyoto. Honestly, it might be, not just the best Spanish food I’ve ever had, but the best food period. Going in, my family wasn’t actually that hungry but from the very first plate of bread and garlic butter we just kept wanting mo...re and more. I would recommend the seafood paella to anyone but it’s best to call ahead and make a reservation as the chef is a perfectionist and makes sure to cook every dish himself from scratch. After the meal we spoke to the chef and he told us about a recent attempted break in at the restaurant. I can only assume that whoever tried to break in was trying to steal the recipes because the food at Antonio’s is very special indeed. An absolute must if you are in Kyoto!

While visiting our friends in Kyoto, we were brought along to Antonio’s Spanish restaurant. I haven’t had Spanish food for many years since my trip to Barcelona. As a result, I wasn’t sure what to expect but from the very first tapas dish, I was hooked. What a genius, the chef is. Every dish he make...s is touched with greatness. Particular highlights for me were the mushroom ajillo, steak, ribs and of course the amazing paellas. We had a meat paella with melt in your mouth beef and an amazing assortment of fresh vegetables and also the vegetarian paella as one of our friends is strange and doesn’t eat meat. All of the dishes were amazing and made me wish that I could go to the restaurant every week. We got to talk to the chef briefly and he seems like a lovely guy too. He made a point of coming out to talk to every diner even though he was extremely busy. Mia also recommended some amazing drinks we had never tried before like orujo and poitin which is a taste sensation. All in all, a fantastic experience. I hope to go back someday.

I recently recovered from illness and decided to celebrate with a nice night out and dinner at a good restaurant. My wife chose Antonio based on reviews from other diners on Trip Advisor. Reading some of the reviews, our expectations were extremely high but somehow Antonio managed to surpass them al...l. What a restaurant! Every dish is exceptional. As a Spaniard myself, I know what great paella tastes like and Antonio has mastered the art. His meat dishes are exceptional but it was the seafood paella that stole the show for us. Also, everyone in the restaurant is extremely friendly. It seems to have a loyal clientele and feels like a family experience. Go to Antonio. You won't regret it. There are some other restaurants in this area near Antonio that are way overrated but if anything, Antonio is underrated. I was blown away by the experience. I will definitely be back.

After a long day, we just wanted to sit down and relax. We discussed Antonio’s by chance in Kyoto and I’m so glad that we did. Everything was amazing - the food, ambiance and service. We couldn’t get enough of the paella and the wine selection was excellent. The server and the chef were both very wa...rm and friendly. I will definitely go back again on my nezt visit.
