01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Preserving the character of a Kyoto machiya townhouse, Locanda Kidaya invites guests to take their time over thoughtfully composed set courses. The dining room carries the relaxed ease of visiting an intimate friend's home, with dishes arriving in a smooth, unhurried rhythm.
At the heart of each meal are daily handmade pastas and fragrant, freshly baked breads. The course progressions at both lunch and dinner offer a satisfying journey from an assorted antipasto through to the main dish, with the evening menu expanded to include an amuse-bouche and soup for added depth. A thoughtful wine list complements the cooking, inviting diners to linger over a pour through dessert and coffee.
Seating is limited and the restaurant operates entirely by reservation, requiring advance bookings for both services. Open from Thursday to Sunday for lunch and dinner, it is well suited to small parties seeking quiet conversation and focused cooking.
