Benoit is a well-established bistro that opened in Paris in 1912 and has been in operation for over 100 years, and has been loved by customers in Paris as a warm and comfortable restaurant. Since 2005, Ducas Paris, which operates Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, has taken over and introduced a new style to traditional stores, while spreading its spirit to Tokyo and New York.

Benoit Kyoto was born as a warm and authentic Parisian bistro as a meeting place for Japanese-French culture with contemporary and Japanese architecture. A black wall of traditional French Boisley surrounds the kitchen, imposing an entrance and a counter leading to the dining room. Alan Ducasse will also decorate the wall with antique posters of his own choosing. Dining furniture, counters and bar counters also use antiques selected by the flea market in France.

In addition, Karl Hansen’s chairs create a contemporary atmosphere. You can also see the Yasaka Tower, which is a symbol of the Higashiyama area, from Benoit Kyoto, which stands on the hotel grounds with a panoramic view of Kyoto city.
