Cafe & Restaurant CAVA

Cafe & restaurant CAVA is located along the Kamo River, on a 15-minute walk from either Karasuma Line’s Kitaoji Subway Station or Kitayama Station and a 2-minute walk from Kamigamo Shobuencho Bus Stop.

The cafe is situated on the ground floor of a small maisonette with a large green canopy that has ‘cava’ written on it. Inside you will find a cozy and rustic interior. There are 3 tables of which two are near large windows that have a scenic view over the Kamogawa River and its river bank. In the spring you will be able to see beautiful cherry blossoms.

The menu is mainly pasta or pizza, but there are also a number of appetizers available. The cafe also has a sweets menu.

The pasta in the photos had gnocchi with rape blossoms and Gorgonzola sauce! Gnocchi is a slight C-shaped pasta, but there aren’t many shops that sell gnocchi, so Cava is a recommended for gnocchi lovers.

Cava has a cozy atmosphere, delicious lunch menu and a beautiful view over the Kamo river. Also highly recommended to combine with an outing to the nearby Botanical garden.
