Dining in Hotel Granvia Kyoto

The Hotel Granvia Kyoto is directly connected to Kyoto Station by the JR Kyoto Station Central Gate, so its restaurants are easy to use even if you are not staying at the hotel. Its restaurants, bars and bakery are spread across four main levels: 2F for casual dining, lounge, bakery and bar; M3F for Japanese, kaiseki and tempura; 6F for private dining; and 15F for view dining, teppanyaki and Chinese cuisine. Some restaurants on the 15th floor also have fine views over the city.

The hotel dining rooms are useful for several different situations: breakfast before sightseeing, a casual buffet meal, coffee and cakes near the lobby, private dining for a group, or a higher-end lunch or dinner before returning to your train. Hours, menus and prices vary by restaurant and season, so check the hotel restaurant pages before making a reservation or planning around a train departure.
