POKOTABI / cafe chang
カフェ チャーン
At cafe chang in Saiin, Kyoto, midday brings daily set meals served with hearty soups and side dishes alongside baked curries, while evenings shift to Thai staples like pad thai and gapao over relaxed drinks.
01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
For a hearty, satisfying midday meal, the daily set at cafe chang is an easy choice. Accompanied by seasonal vegetable side dishes and a generous bowl of soup—ranging from hearty miso soup to rich kasujiru made with sake lees—it offers the comforting appeal of a home-cooked table. Beyond the set meals, the lunch lineup caters to different cravings with bubbling-hot baked curries and daily pasta specials.
The calm, wood-toned dining room offers a welcoming atmosphere where solo diners can feel right at home, lingering after a meal over hand-drip house blend or iced coffee. Lunch set options that include salad and a drink make it easy to settle in for an unhurried break.
In the evening, the kitchen turns its attention to Thai cuisine, revealing a distinct charm from the daytime service. Substantial gapao rice packed with chunky meat, pad thai, and spiced green curry pair naturally with beer or another drink, making the cafe a comfortable stop for winding down at night.
