Kyoto Pescetarian Fugu Restaurants

This was such a fun experience! The food was amazing! The atmosphere was perfect. The place is very small so the service is very personalized. One of my favorite dining experiences.

Amazing dinner. Super ambiance and staff. Entertaining chef!

Absolutely amazing! So fresh and delicious. Prepared right in front of us. This was a really special evening.

Our meal here was so amazing. Everything from start to finish was delicious and presented beautifully. It was so fun to watch the chef prepare each course. He was so fun and laughed with us and seemed to enjoy cooking as much as we enjoyed eating the food. We were allowed and even encouraged to take photos of the food. I was nervous about liking the fancy food but it was so nicely prepared with interesting flavors I ate everything and enjoyed the experience. Truly a one of a kind meal worth every penny.

The food was exceptional, definitely would come back to try on a different season and see how different the dishes would come out. Service was great from start to end. The atmosphere was very welcoming.

The service is fantastic at Gion Fukushi! Located in a quant alleyway, you’ll find an intimate dining experience where you can watch the amazing one Michelin-starred chef prepare your meal with precision. Highly recommended!

Our recent family dinner in Kyoto, where we indulged in the delicacy of Fugu (pufferfish), was nothing short of extraordinary. The whole fish was artfully used, and each course was a delightful revelation. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the chef and his lovely wife, who turned out to be the perfect hosts. Their passion for their craft was evident from the start, and they took the time to explain every course, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. The meal began with the finest slices of Fugu sashimi, beautifully presented and incredibly fresh. This was followed by a series of dishes that showcased the versatility of the fish, each prepared with meticulous care. From Fugu tempura to a delicate Fugu hot pot, every bite was a testament to the chef’s expertise. The hospitality of our hosts added a personal touch to the evening. They patiently answered our questions, sharing insights about the preparation and safety measures involved in serving this delicacy. Overall, our Fugu dinner in Kyoto was a culinary adventure that left us with not only satisfied palates but also a deeper appreciation for the art of Japanese cuisine. We learned a lot and enjoyed a delicious meal that we will remember fondly for years to come.

This was an exceptional meal. We had 10 amazing courses, each different and wonderful flavours. Luckily each course is small and very well balanced so you don’t feel like you can’t savour each one. We also had matcha tea which was creamy and a great end to the meal. Thank you so much Chef and wait staff. A night to remember forever!
