Cafe Millet

An easy bus ride from Kyoto, Cafe Millet serves a lunch set in their sunny dining room overlooking the family farm fields. Our meal included squash potage , tofu, grilled and pickled veg, vegan pizza, rice with aduki beans, edamame , vegan quiche , green salad, apple tart, herb tea/coffee. Home baked bread was served with (optional) honey harvested from their hives. The ambiance is tranquil, the staff is friendly & the owner speaks English. She kindly offered to drive us to a nearby village , Ohara, to visit temples & gardens. Portions are moderate , Japanese -style (2500 yen). The beauty of the setting and the quality/presentation of the food makes it worth the price. The cafe sponsors art, music, craft events .

Transport: take Kyoto bus 34 from Demachiyanagi station. Use exit 7 (escalator ) from the Keihan line; bus stop E is right outside, in front of the station. Take bus to terminus Shiroyama. Walk 3 mins straight ahead to farmhouse on left side of main road, down small incline (old road). There is a sign outside the house "Millet."We reserved our meal by email since we don't have a phone.
