The Green

The Green is a little eatery located on a corner between Kyoto Gyoen National Garden and Demachiyanagi Station. It has a weathered white stucco exterior and looks a little shabby but don’t judge a book by its cover. The outside might look a little shabby but the inside and the food tell a different story.

The interior of the green is simple. It has an all white interior with a lovely tiled kitchen counter and wooden furniture that gives it a rustic feel. Especially when the sun is shining, the light shining through the windows light up the interior and gives it a really warm and cozy feeling.

Instead of a paper menu the green has two blackboard painted walls in the back of the café with the menu written in chalk on it. The lunch and sweets menu is in both English and Japanese, the a la carte menu however is only in Japanese. One of the lunch items is a delicious lunch set of ‘sausage, mashed potato, salad and bread’.

The Green is a nice, somewhat unknown café that has a delicious lunch menu and is located right next to Kyoto Gyoen National Garden, which is a ideal for having a lovely walk before or after lunch.
