About this spot
Escape the tourist crowds near Kinkakuji at Dessert Cafe Chourakukan for homemade cakes and savory surprises like the Kataifi-Wrapped Lobster with bread. The menu shifts daily, so you might find a seasonal Strawberry feuillantine or a hearty beef stew to share with friends before heading out. It's a perfect stop after temple hopping where the focus remains on high-quality ingredients rather than flashy presentation.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the Today's cake set for ¥900 if you want to try multiple flavors without committing to a full dessert course.
- Save room for the Kyoto duck confit, which pairs perfectly with a glass of wine or green tea after a long day of walking.
- Visit before 5:00 PM to catch the lunch service featuring savory options like the beef cutlet sandwich.
