Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
This Chinese restaurant is run by a family, who all support each other. The father’s offerings, which have pleased the locals for generations, sit side-by-side with authentic Szechuan cuisine from the son’s gastronomic studies. One dish for which Taiho has been renowned since its opening is the ‘Teridon Kinshi’. This quintessentially Kyoto dish consists of rice topped with pork and kinshi tamago (ribbons of omelette). Also recommended is the ‘Yodaredori’, steamed chicken with a spicy sauce.
