Located between the Nijo and Oike bridges along Kiyamachi dori, Takeshima's patio looks out on the Kamo river and the Higashiyama mountains. Originally established in the late 19th century as a ryokan (traditional inn), Takeshima continues now as a traditional Kyo-ryori (Kyoto cuisine) restaurant. Open for both lunch and dinner, Takeshima specialises in seasonal dishes using traditional Kyoto ingredients. Summer patio dining available from May-September ** Credit cards accepted **
