About this spot
At MALEBRANCHE Kyoto Kitayama Honten, the chef's monthly rotating cakes like the Luxury Napoleon with Kyoto no Shizuku showcase a refined Western style that feels distinctly Japanese. You must try the seasonal Burning Iceberg Baked Alaska or the Uji tea-infused Langue de Chat before they rotate off the menu. The quiet Kitayama neighborhood offers a serene escape from the city center, perfect for savoring these delicate desserts.
💡 Tips before you go
- Takeout prices are 8% lower than dine-in rates, so consider picking up a seasonal slice to-go if you're in a rush.
- Inquire directly with the staff about current limited-period items, as the Autumn Jam Dessert Cookies and Winter Mont Blanc Couture change monthly.
- Visit near Kitayama Station early in the day to avoid crowds while enjoying the calm atmosphere of the Kinkakuji area.
