Honestly, for the price you pay for this meal and the food you get, people can't really complain or compare it to higher end Kaiseki restaurants. It's just not fair! Giro Giro Hitoshina serves a set 10 course meal for dinner that changes their menu monthly depending on what's in season. It's priced at ¥3,680 (or approximately $37 CDN) for... More

It is not easy to get a reservation here, because the place is very popular. After having been there, I can certainly understand why. There is only one menu, no choices, but allergies and restrictions are worked around. The kitchen is a modern take on kaiseki, with some French influences as well. We had the luck to be seated downstairs... More

I really don't know how to explain but it was so perfect. It was my first time in Kyoto and he booked this restaurant for us. What a perfect meal. I enjoyed watching when they were cooking for us a lot. My umeshu was nice as well. Love it a lot.

This restaurant is located in the beautiful kiyamachi neighborhood along a canal. We sat with our two children at the counter, apparently the best experience. If you enjoy seeing passionate chefs at work, this is a great experience. They have some excellent sakes. Dinner featured course-after-course of small plates. Not extreme fusion, rather modern interpretations of japanese kaiseki food. Although... More

This was definitely an experience. I had read about this restaurant (Giro Giro Hitoshina) on Rough guides and made reservations a couple days in advance. We had a 9 course meal, which each small dish was well thought out and delicately prepared. There were a couple things that I wasn't crazy about, but as a whole, it was delicious. Definitely... More

We were blown away by our meal at Guilo Guilo (Giro Giro). We were treated to 10 courses of exquisite and innovative modern Japanese dishes for less than 4,000 yen per head! What's more, the meal was supremely fun! Although it was quite an ordeal to communicate our destination to our taxi driver, we ultimately realized that Japanese taxi GPS... More

This was one of the best values we had while dining in Japan. Having just returned from a two week trip, this was a special treat in Kyoto. We had a unique Kaiseki style dinner for two for approximately $110 with Sake included. All of our courses were nicely prepared and while it was not a traditional Kaiseki meal, it... More

Awesome, modern restaurant with a great updated take on the Japanese classic multi course menu. Great service, lively, fun, zany atmosphere (book a seat at the bar and watch the amazingly busy chefs at work in the completely open kitchen if you can) and delicious and imaginative food make this a one of a kind place in Kyoto. We had... More

The Kaiseki set is fixed at 3900yen, and the menu changes with the season. Well it is autumn now and it should be good! For the price it is hard to beat anyway, no wonder they are extremely popular and featured in many guide books and newspaper travel reviews. The food is very interesting in presentation and taste. The chef... More
