Christmas dinner in Kyoto?

Hi, usually I'd avoid going to typical Western pubs, etc whilst in Japan, however, I'll be in Kyoto over Christmas. Is there anywhere I'm likely to get a Christmas dinner? Thanks in advance,
Paul

You could always go to KFC and get a typical Japanese chrisms meal of fried chicken and Christmas cake (No Joke).

Someone posted the KFC response before in another thread, and I think it's really unhelpful unless you are meaning it as a joke. KFC is pretty ordinary. oily fried fare that isn't very much liked by most people I know. Except for their fries and sundaes :)

A traditional Christmas Dinner for Europeans, Australians and Americans consists of Roast Meat (Pork, Lamb, Chicken or Turkey), Roast Vegetables (Potato, Pumpkin/Squash, Carrots and Onions), Gravy, Sauces etc and Plum Pudding as a dessert.

I think you would have to do a lot of searching to find something like that in Japan - perhaps try the traditional english pubs or a large western hotel chain like The Hilton?

There is an Australia Club I think - or you can contact the local consulate for your country and ask them?

I was completely serious. I was suggesting that if you want to pursue a traditional Japanese Christmas meal then KFC fried chicken would be appropriate. They also offer whole roasted chickens during Christmas with all the fixings, which is a rare treat in Japan considering most people don't have ovens and it is difficult to find a whole bird at the grocery store. The meal also includes the traditional Christmas cake which is basically a strawberry shortcake.

It's also surprisingly expensive considering it's fast food with a typical meal for four costing between 5000-10000 yen. Personally though, I'll be roasting my own chicken (because I have the chicken and the oven), cause yea, I kinda find the idea of fast food on Christmas to be a little ridiculous too. But considering most people don't have the means to make their own Christmas dinner, the KFC option isn't that bad of a choice as it is the closest you can get to a traditional western Christmas meal in most parts of the country.

Thanks for the ideas. I guess the hotel thing could be an option. To be honest more of a sit down thing sounds good and I'll be there with a Japanes female friend so don't mind going somewhere a bit nicer (though a pub option sounds fine). Ironically the couple of Irish/English pubs I found were actually shut on the 25th. I'm sure there are some more options though. Sayint that I head Mos Burger are also doing a Christmas pack, though I think that's maybe for a different day...

Christmas dinner in Kyoto can be found in some of the nicer hotels, such as the Westin Miyako, Hyatt, ANA, Granvia and Okura. You'll need to make a reservation and prepare to pay a big $$.

not all Europeans, besides the English, have a roast or turkey , squash etc, and plum pudding for christmas!
in my part of Europe we had fresh oysters with special sausages stuffed with truffles, a whole roasted goose with stuffed tomatoes, brussel sprouts, scalloped potatoes, wild mushrooms etc and the dessert was a Yule log generously sprinkled with brandy. Since I moved to North America I can' t be bothered with these old Christmas dinners and sure wouldn't want one in Japan. .
