FALAFEL GARDEN¥

OFFLINE MAP
( ファラフェルガーデン ; 712-1856; Sakyō-ku, Tanaka Shimoyanagi-chō 3-16; 11.30am-9.30pm;
falafel from ¥670; 2min walk from exit 7, Demachiyanagi Station, Keihan line) Close to the Keihan and
Eizan lines' Demachiyanagi Station, this funky Israeli-run place has excellent falafel and
a range of other dishes, as well as offering a set menu (from ¥1150). We like the style of
the open-plan, converted Japanese house and the small garden out the back, but the main
draw is those tasty falafels! It's easy to spot, across the street from a post office.

ZAC BARAN¥

( ザックバラン ; 751-9748; Sakyō-ku, Shōgo-in, Sannō-chō 18; 6pm-4am, closed Tue; meals ¥1500;
5min walk from Kumanojinja-mae bus stop, bus 206 from Kyoto Station) Near the Kyoto Handicraft
Center ( CLICK HERE ), this is a good spot for a light meal or a drink. It serves a variety of
spaghetti dishes as well as a good lunch special. Look for the picture of the Freak Brothers
near the downstairs entrance. If you fancy dessert, step upstairs to the Second House Cake
Works.

( 日の出うどん ; 751-9251; 36 Kitanobō- chō, Nanzenji, Sakyō-ku; noodles from ¥450; 11am-5pm
Mon-Sat; ; 15min walk from Keage Station, Tōzai subway line) Filling noodle and rice dishes are
served at this pleasant shop with an English menu. Plain udon (thick white wheat noodles)
are only ¥400, but we recommend you spring for the nabeyaki udon (pot-baked udon in
broth) for ¥800. This is a good lunch spot when temple-hopping in the Northern Hi-
gashiyama area.

SHINSHINDŌ NOTRE PAIN QUOTIDIEN¥
OFFLINE MAP
( 進々堂 ; 701-4121; Sakyō-ku, Kitashirakawa, Oiwake-chō 88; 8am-6pm, closed Tue; coffee from ¥340;
; 2min walk from Hyakumamben bus stop, bus 206 from Kyoto Station) This atmospheric old Kyoto
coffee shop is a favourite of Kyoto University students for its curry and bread lunch set
(¥780), which is kind of an acquired taste. It's located near the university. Look for the
glazed tile bricks and the big window out the front. There's a small English sign and Eng-
lish menus are available.
