Looking for Dinner or Wine near the Silver Pavilion?
The area around Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion) and the Philosopher's Path is famous for its beauty, but finding a place for dinner can be a challenge. Most local eateries close by 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM, leaving visitors wondering where to eat in the evening.
Bello Vero is located in the quiet Kitashirakawa neighbourhood, just a 15-minute walk from Ginkakuji. We are open until 10:00 PM (L.O. 9:30 PM), making us a rare late-dinner option in Northern Higashiyama. Whether you want a full meal or just a glass of wine after your walk, you are welcome here.
Q. Is there lunch or "day drinking" near Ginkakuji?
A. Yes — we are open continuously from 1:00 PM. You can enjoy a late lunch, or drop in for a glass of Champagne or natural wine in the afternoon.
Q. Do I need a reservation? Is solo dining welcome?
A. Walk-ins are always welcome — solo travellers stopping by for a plate of pasta and a glass of wine fit right in. If you would like to be sure of a seat (especially at the counter), it is best to send us a quick reservation by Instagram DM.
Q. Are there vegetarian options?
A. Some of our dishes can be prepared vegetarian. Please feel free to ask us when you arrive, or mention it when you make your reservation, and we will do our best to accommodate.
Q. Can I come by bicycle?
A. Yes — there is space to park a bicycle right in front of the restaurant. A handy stop while exploring the Kyoto University / Kyoto University of the Arts area on two wheels.
