A moment to unwind in the city.
Set in Matsumuro, Nishikyo Ward, Kyoto, the cafe People pairs hearty yoshoku staples—such as popular fried shrimp lunches, baked curry, and omurice—with coffee and sweet treats in an easygoing, comfortable setting.
01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
Step through the door of People in the residential neighborhood of Matsumuro, and you are met with a friendly, relaxed ambience. The unpretentious table seating makes it easy to drop in alone without feeling out of place, offering a quiet, gentle interlude buoyed by the host's warm hospitality.
For those arriving with a solid appetite, the menu provides a satisfying lineup of classic Western-influenced Japanese yoshoku dishes. Highlights include the well-regarded fried shrimp lunch, as well as omurice (omelette rice) and shrimp pilaf, both accompanied by salad and soup. The curry selection is equally well appointed, featuring options such as baked curry and katsu curry. Sandwiches offer a lighter choice when you only need a quick bite, making it easy to tailor your order to the occasion.
Freshly brewed hot coffee and warm café au lait are natural choices to round off a meal or punctuate an afternoon pause. On the sweet side, the kitchen prepares apple pie, pancakes, and vanilla ice cream, which pair nicely with tea or hot cocoa. The drinks list also extends to bottled beer, wine, and whisky, making it just as pleasant to wind down with a quiet drink as evening approaches.
Payment is cash only, so having bills or coins on hand before your visit is recommended.
