Higuchitei

The Kyoto-raised Japanese Black wagyu hamburg steak is a natural place to start at Higuchitei. One lunch diner praised its satisfyingly meaty texture, paired with a gentle demi-glace sauce. On another visit, a diner also enjoyed sole meunière and pumpkin soup alongside the hamburg steak. The menu offers several mains to choose from, making the steak an appealing option as part of a course.

Other menu choices include sole meunière with white wine sauce, lobster cream croquettes and cod gratin with a curry flavour. For a meat dish, consider Kyoto-raised Japanese Black wagyu stewed in red wine or a sirloin steak.

Lunch courses range from a combination of the soup of the day, an appetiser selection and a main, to options that include dessert and a drink or let you choose two mains. You can keep things to one main after enjoying the appetisers, or choose two and try both fish and meat. The range makes it easy to match the meal to your appetite and mood, and suits a leisurely course lunch. Reservations are recommended for both lunch and dinner, so consider booking once you have a date in mind.
