The interior of the restaurant, adorned with high-quality furnishings, exudes luxury. The beautifully set 12-seat counter welcomes guests to the beginning of an luxurious time of fine wine and exceptional cuisine.

This establishment is produced and managed by TAKAMI BRIDAL, a leading company in Japan’s wedding industry with a history spanning 100 years. This company’s extensive knowledge and experience in providing special days, events, and service are all brought together at Gion Vitra,.

The head chef is committed to local production for local consumption, as well as serving seasonal ingredients, so he personally visits different locales frequently to procure the finest ingredients. These are then used to create “Kyoto French cuisine” which skillfully blend French culinary techniques with Japanese elements. Various artistic pieces and tableware made by renowned artists further enhance the vibrancy of the dishes.

This is truly the perfect Japanese-French cuisine restaurant for guests seeking a taste not found in everyday life.
