The French restaurant Evantaille was established in 1984 in Higashiyama Nijo, Kyoto, and moved to a new location in 1995 near the International Conference Hall by the Choshiro-Minami Bridge. The restaurant is tucked away in a quiet residential area away from the hustle and bustle of the city, providing a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere.

Since the opening of the restaurant, Chef Yukio Moriya has placed special emphasis on Kyoto vegetables. He uses a wide variety of vegetables, mainly from Kyoto vegetables that are full of character, and also offers a vegetable course that consists entirely of vegetables, from hors d'oeuvres to main courses. He also uses Ohara-grown deer and wild boar, and his motto is to make the most of nature's bounty in his cuisine, with an emphasis on local production for local consumption.
The combination of Kyoto's seasonal ingredients and the French techniques Moriya learned in Paris makes for a unique dining experience. The menu also includes a sugar-free course, which shows Mr. Moriya's strong desire to have as many people as possible enjoy French cuisine.
Shokudo Rive Gauche, located right next to the restaurant, offers the same course meals as Evantaille, as well as a la carte dishes such as hamburgers and wine alone. This restaurant is also popular because children are welcome and can use it casually. In addition, bento boxes, hors d'oeuvre platters, and a variety of a la carte dishes are also available for takeout, making it a great choice for a variety of occasions.
