Cafe & Bar Maru ＠恵花

Food was very good! Limited options, but both very tastful. Only remark was that rice or any other side dish was not included in the price (making it quite expensive).

Great ambiance and not very busy when we were there. Limited food options, large list of alcoholic beverage options though. Our food was tasty and I would go back.

Other Characteristics

• Good for dinner

Gluten free chicken karaage and French dessert, plus other yummy dishes. Also I had wanted to find a place with a sake flight, and ended up trying the sake on offer at this swanky bar. Local sake is the best I've ever had. More modern, and spacious, plus up on the 3rd floor, this place would be easy to miss. If you are gluten free, this is a must stop in the evening for light bar snacks and drinks. Daytime, it is a good cafe. I didn't end up trying the GF beer because the sake was so delicious. The English menu is a disservice to the actual quality of the food. Though the menu is not extensive (large for a bar, small for dinner), there are traditional Kyoto dishes that may not be as well known but are authentic. As well as bar bites to complement whatever you're drinking.The native English speaking bartender made the place fantastic. He said there are other English speakers besides him. The place is 100% gluten free, as the owner has Celiac. My dessert was made to order and delicious, allowing me time to savor a different glass of sake. Though the chef didn't speak English, she was warm and attentive. Both tourists and locals frequent this establishment. You never know who might be there on your night. Maybe a geisha? It is close to the pontocho but is more of a relaxing, refined environment, where you could have a conversation. Highly recommend. (It is there, just look around at the small signs to find the building entrance and the elevator.)

It’s gluten free and as a celiac I appreciate that, but it’s over priced for what it is. Service wasn’t great and food was meh. Liked the ambiance.

Beware this restaurant is on the 3rd floor of a building, so you might not immediately see it. Loved the ambience, the service, and the food. All the options in the menu were gluten-free, and they also had gluten-free beer. We had a very good curry. Recommended!

This place is hands down the best gluten free (non-sushi) meal I've had in Japan. Even without being gluten free their ingredients are top-notch. Do yourself a favor and check it out for yourself. We're in Kyoto for 4 nights and would happily come back for another meal. All gluten free and they ask about other allergies as well. I'm so glad I found out about it from a gluten free map on google. Take the elevator (not stairs) up. It's on the 3rd floor. Beautiful interior and nice music. Enjoy!
