Lunch & Cafe Crews

Situated on the 1th floor of the Welfare and Health Care Center in Cluster B at Kyoto University’s Katsura Campus, Lunch & Cafe Crews is a dependable choice for a hearty midday meal. While offering the casual, easygoing ease of a campus cafeteria, the kitchen turns out well-seasoned, substantial food with a selection of standard and daily teishoku set meals.

A standout choice is the satisfying aji fry set meal, featuring 2 large, crisp fried horse mackerel fillets paired with tartar sauce. The generous spread comes with potato salad, fresh greens tossed in sesame dressing, vegetable soup, and a plentiful bowl of rice. Beyond the seafood dishes, weekly and daily specials add plenty of variety whenever you drop in.

Orders are placed at a touchscreen terminal by the entrance, which supports a wide range of cashless payment options. Guests collect their food when their number is called and help themselves to water and cutlery. This self-service flow makes for a comfortable, low-pressure setting where solo diners can feel right at home. The dining hall is spacious enough for a relaxed sit-down lunch, and takeout options are also offered to fit around afternoon plans.
