Monk is a great place, reservation is highly recommended. The owner has a pizza oven and use it for baking his original pizza but also fresh local vegetables. Dinner only, they have a 5000 set menu which is a delight. Good choice of craft beers, wines and Japanese sake, our favorite restaurant in the area.

Opens at 10 am but a relaxed place at the entrance of the philosopher's path. They have a good choice of cakes and light food for enjoying a coffee.

Gospel is run by Nobu, the place is awesome in a Japanese western style; the building is surprising too. Nobu does also have a good collection of jazz records and the place is cosy and comfortable.
