Enjoy exceptional dining experiences at our French
restaurant Le Chene during your stay.
Chef Hashimoto visits Kyoto’s Ohara village and
Shiga’s lakeside markets each morning to select the
very best seasonal fruit and vegetables. His artful dishes
are prepared to let the natural flavors of the ingredients
sing and render the seasons of Kyoto on the plate.
Chef Hashimoto’s creations are a culinary concerto reflecting his
personal philosophy of telling a story with each meal.
From the first dish—perhaps a colorful, jewel-like entrée of freshly
picked vegetables—savor a progression of textures and flavors,
each carefully crafted to lead into and elevate the next course.
Finishing touches performed before your very eyes enhance your
experience by playing on all five senses.
Le Chene is located in the former dining room, the most
formal space in the house during Chourakukan’s days as
a guest house.
Opulent Neoclassic-style décor, ornamental plasterwork
and soft chandelier light add a dramatic touch to your
culinary journey.
Take a seat in the elegant surroundings of our main house
for a delicious, fresh breakfast prepared by Le Chene’s chefs.
Showcasing the natural goodness of local ingredients, the
menu includes freshly squeezed juice, seasonal soup, salad,
and free-range eggs. Our simple, unpretentious fare will get
your day off to a great start.
