The Original Aman
Claiming an entire peninsula and one of Phuket’s finest white sand beaches, Amanpuri offers the idyllic Thailand escape of days gone by.
This convivial dining space rests at the heart of Aman Kyoto, offering elegant interiors and a bar arranged around a central fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open onto an ornate terrace, with beautiful views of the surrounding gardens and forest. Open throughout the day and into the night, the restaurant serves both local as well as innovative and comforting Western dishes.
Finest local ingredients
We source our ingredients – from milk and meat to vegetables – from the finest local purveyors. These include Ohara free-range eggs, Kyoto Rice from Kobatake, and miso from Matsuno Shoyu, founded in 1805 just a 10-minute walk from Aman Kyoto.
Home-cooked Kyoto-style cuisine and Western dishes
Inspired by Kyoto’s diverse food culture, The Living Pavilion offers both Western and local dishes – all focusing on the natural flavours of the ingredients used.
Based on the freshest seasonal produce available, our chefs handcraft a range of dishes inspired by cuisines from the West, ranging from Italian to Latin American. Options include pastas, salads and grilled meats and seafood.
