My colleague and I were drawn in by so many people claiming this was authentic French cuisine. Maybe only in name. The atmosphere is charming, but that's about it. I ordered a glass of Cotes du Nuits Burgundy wine, only to find that it was old and vinegary, and the steak-frites I ordered included just a thin piece of meat that they managed to cook unevenly and leave completely unseasoned. In some places it was pink, in others completely well done. And the fries and bread may as well have been from a cheap American diner. Honestly, don't bother.

We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant, once we found it! A word to the wise, it is located inside a building called Cocon Karasuma. Once inside, we were in an authentic French brasserie. Salads were delicious, steak frites tasty, and fish was fresh. Service was very friendly, but a little slow.

An excellent casual French bistro, and fairly reasonably priced for Kyoto. It had all the atmosphere of a French restaurant, the staff is friendly and multilingual and the food authentic French, we had the steak frites and we were pleasantly surprised that it was really authentic. After two weeks of sushi it was a nice change.
