Yoshoku Ogata

※ As of 2023, Yoshoku Ogata no longer takes reservations from overseas visitors. This fusion restaurant is not only popular with the tourists but also locals. Ogata is Kyoto’s most popular yoshoku restaurant — a restaurant that specializes in Western-style cooking. The chef at this fine eatery used to work for a bistro that was a hit with the people as well, and many of his loyal customers followed him when he opened his very own restaurant. Despite opening for both lunch and dinner, Ogata is extremely known for being one of the hardest places to make a reservation — so difficult that it’s recommended to make one at least a month in advance. This highly acclaimed Japanese-Western fusion restaurant serves dishes like hamburgers and stew, and cutlet with the rare Ozaki beef, topped with carious just-as-tasty a la carte and mains. Packed with top-notch service, delicious treats, and great interior, Ogata is always a full house brimming with liveliness. Don’t miss out on the wondrous edible craft of Japanese and Western fusion cuisine, and only the finest at this reputable restaurant.
