Kyoto University is what you should visit after tasty meals at this cafe. You will be served International cuisine at Camphora. Visit this place for a break and try perfectly cooked pasta. Get your meal started with good coffee.
The well-trained staff meets you at this spot all year round. Prompt service is something that people note in their comments. You will appreciate fair prices. At this cafe, guests can enjoy the enjoyable atmosphere. But visitors rate Camphora below average on Google.

We are visitors; we originally intended to go to the Central Cafeteria, but since it doesn't open to non-students until after 1:00 PM, we ended up coming here for lunch instead. We seem to have walked in just minutes before morning classes let out; we were incredibly lucky to snag the very last empty table—no sooner had we sat down than a line of seven or eight people formed at the entrance. The food wasn't anything extraordinary—it was Western-style cuisine—and while the prices were certainly higher than at the Central Cafeteria, they were comparable to those of a standard restaurant. From our seats inside, we had a view of the university's magnificent old tree—a highlight that was even more impressive than the food itself. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Visit : meeting doctor/professor at Kyoto university for research and catch up was suggested this location and we used on 2 consecutive days for late lunch (after the main traffic 11:30-1).Not quite sure on the reviewers below and their 5 star ratings - it seems on google maps people just either put 5 or 1 star - really not much thought goes into it - i certainly wouldn't describe this as excellent food or wonderful service etc etc ..... the best way to describe this place is being a little better than a canteen with worn furniture / fixtures and fittings. The service is rather drull and the food is mediocre at best. The thai curry (and/or some form of bland curry) which i had on one day was virtually devoid of meat and sauce and had almost rubberised salad with it - i don't even think i can call it 'value for money' either as if i compared spending 1,300 inc drink to central Tokyo i can get a better quality set lunch in all number of places including, for example, a 8 piece sushi set in decently decorated restaurant in b1f of the 'Kitte biru' in Otemachi ( now figure that is prime real estate / high rent ) - so in a sense Camphora is quite poorI believe on the second day i chose a beef dish and my friend had a pasta .... her reply to me was that within the area the choice is quite limited and it is either this or a students buffet type location or one of the smaller places near to demachiyenagi station ( which if i had known i would have said we should go )Notes : I would not recommend anyone from outside the university heading there to eat and if you are meeting anyone from / at the university suggest to them to walk 7-10 mins and head to somewhere that serves a decent set lunch at pretty much the equivalent pricesAnd as for those comments and reviews below i personally think they have such low standards and/or really do not consider the 'quality of food' important ........ each to their own i suppose though i visit all number of restaurants of types and this place really isn't good
