Le Bouchon

Le Bouchon is a French bistro north of Kyoto City Hall, a seven-minute walk from Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Station. Its signature course pairs harami grill with french fries and a choice of appetizer and dessert. Lunch is busy enough that walking in without a reservation is difficult, and payment is cash only. Seating is closely spaced, and corner seats are uncomfortable.
