Stardust

We had a delicious vegan lunch (cous-cous with roasted veggies and tomato sauce) with a choice of black tea or herbal tea,(1500Y) and after , we shared a fabulous slice of raw cake (fig-grapefruit).

Stardust is in a lovely setting, a restored machiya, with a small garden space, about 15 minutes walk from the Kamigamo Shrine, or the Kyoto Botanical Garden. We requested a reservation for lunch by email, through the Stardust website link, and got a positive reply within 30 minutes. (This was the same day, so we were lucky to find a way to make a reservation with little advance planning.)

There is a small sales area at the entrance with teas, organic cotton or wool clothing and other attractive items . The friendly owner speaks English. Although there are maps on this site, on Tabelog, and directions on the cafe's website, we used GPS to find it!

I made a special trip here, and despite not saying so on their website, found out that a reservation is needed three days in advance for a 1500 Yen lunch. They did offer some tea, but at that point I was starving so went back into Kyoto for lunch.
The place seemed very nice, and had a great vibe. If someone tries the place and finds it amazing I'll happily update or remove this review, but since there are no reviews I would suggest the short-term visitor to Kyoto to not reserve ahead and travel this far for this meal.
