Best restaurants at Ace Hotel Kyoto

Ace Hotel Kyoto is the first Asian location of an American hotel chain “Ace Hotel.” Here’s a list of all restaurants/cafes/bars at Ace Hotel Kyoto.

Piopiko

A trio of tacos: chicken, Atka mackerel (hokke/ほっけ), sweet potato & Kujo negi green onion (九条ねぎ) from Kyoto.

Piopiko is an uber-contemporary Mexican restaurant supervised by Chef Wes Avila who is known for his signature Alta-California cuisine. An eye-striking bar clad in copper panels exhibits the spectacular work by a Japanese metal casting company “Nousaku (能作).”

Tips:

Ace Hotel Kyoto is kind of like a super cool food mall of selective America. Ace Hotel is also kind of like Europe: three-Michelin-star Noma from Copenhagen opened a pop-up in 2022. It’s not surprising that Ace Hotel Kyoto is one of the few openly LGBTQ-friendly venues in Kyoto. ShinPuhKan – where Ace Hotel Kyoto is located – is one of the best shopping malls in Kyoto.
