About this place
At Gold Roll, diners can choose between curry made with Kyoto vegetables and curry with a cutlet. Reviews include people who have tried both: the Kyoto-vegetable curry is described as featuring traditional vegetables from the region, while one diner said the cutlet curry was among the most memorable meals of their trip. Whether you’re in the mood for a vegetable-led curry or one topped with a cutlet, there are options to consider for lunch near Kinkaku-ji.
For something sweet after your meal, consider a matcha latte or matcha parfait. The menu is said to offer a wide selection of teas, making the matcha drinks and desserts worth a look. One visitor who stopped by for a roll cake took home the nama chocolate version as well as strawberry and chocolate rolls, so there’s the option of picking up a treat to take away. Another diner, returning after some time, said they still enjoyed the nama chocolate roll cake. You could stop in for curry and dessert, or make the roll cakes the reason for your visit.
Visitors describe Gold Roll as a small restaurant near Kinkaku-ji, and a convenient stop for a solo lunch or a break during sightseeing.
