Cafe around 200 m from the Kyoto aquarium. Delicious fried chicken and drinks. Good place to bring kids as it's close to Umekoji park.

A small restaurant inside the Umekoji Park, next to the outdoor playground. A lot of families and kids in this restaurant, thus it’s not so clean with kids dropping food on the floor. But the food itself was nice, especially the kids meal curry rice.

A good place for those with young families and pets to rest at. There were kids books and baby chairs readily available to keep the little ones entertained. A decent kids and lunch menu.

Lovely place. We really enjoyed their shaved ice with pineapple flavour. They even have a Vegetarian Pizza option.
