Last night and this morning, the breakfast buffet was splendid. I decided to focus on Japanese food today because I remember how delicious it was the last time I had breakfast here. I ordered onigiri and the chef made it right in front of me. It was really delicious. There is a Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant on the 5th floor of the Ritz, so Japanese cuisine is definitely top-notch here. Chinese cuisine aims for one star, and French cuisine aims for two stars. The Western food is also delicious and healthy. The breakfast was mostly filled with foreign guests, and even the foreign staff spoke to me in English, despite clearly being Japanese. By the way, many people seem to misunderstand the rating of this restaurant. While many rate it below 4, this restaurant is not a main dining establishment but more of a cafeteria. The service is casual, almost stubbornly so, and there is a lot of space with heavy tables and chairs. The walls are adorned with real paintings, and all the staff can speak English. The live music every day is a rare treat not found in other luxury hotels. The Italian chef's cuisine is outstanding. It's understandable why some mistake it for a main dining restaurant. A rating of 4 or higher is more appropriate. I ordered the breakfast buffet for 4,500 yen (including tax) for non-guests it is 5,000 yen. Thank you for the meal.

I made a reservation and visited the hotel around 12 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. The hotel itself had a very luxurious atmosphere and was very comfortable. For the main course, I chose the roasted pork shoulder, while my companion chose the red wine-braised Japanese beef for an additional ¥3200, which we shared. The meat was very tender and delicious. The buffet dishes were also very tasty, and the desserts were delicious, especially the oranges at the buffet corner. Although the variety of dishes at the buffet was not extensive, we were satisfied enough.

This time, I stayed at The Ritz-Carlton Osaka. I had wanted to go to the sushi counter, which I always love, but unfortunately, it was closed on Wednesdays. So, I ended up going to the Italian restaurant Splendido on the first floor. Since I was in the mood for sushi, I was a bit disappointed to have Italian instead.

What a shame! It's a restaurant that I quite like, so it would be nice if they also offered courses during the day. All the dishes are delicious, so I would like to enjoy a leisurely meal without having to leave my seat. I hope to experience the sincere service and stance unique to Japan's first foreign-owned hotel!

▫️ Breakfast buffet (included with stay) was excellent this morning (￣∀￣) Delicious^ ^ The service and atmosphere were top-notch ☆ The attention to detail was so good that I would be willing to pay just for that alone, it was so pleasant（╹◡╹） The staff spoke English and were very quick to assist! Thank you very much^o^

Hello, this is the usual Osaka gourmet show (@gourmettigarcat) who is struggling to make a video or reel soon. We are currently in the rainy season, where we sometimes get lost in admiration for the hydrangea flowers seen in parks and at The Ritz (laughs). It's june, the season of weddings and hydrangeas, and it somehow feels like a romantic season. It also feels a bit emotional, doesn't it? Now, the restaurant I will introduce today is the Italian restaurant "Splendido" (@ritzcarlton.osaka) at The Ritz-Carlton Osaka. Afternoon Buffet "Summer Vacance" is an afternoon buffet inspired by the Italian vacation. I was lucky to visit at the start of the event this time! Last year was the first time I visited, and if it weren't for a certain opportunity, I wouldn't have come this time either. Last year, I was brought here by someone I am very grateful to (laughs). I realized how important it is to have a start. Without a beginning, there is no end. It's strange because in the past, I would have rejected this kind of environment immediately. Now, I feel that I have changed my actions and thoughts, and I want to aim for higher places, see beautiful things, and visit luxury places. I feel like I'm experiencing fate by sitting at the same table as last year, but in a different state. It was an afternoon on a rainy day spent in a castle-like environment. This article is the first part, so please look forward to the second part! Thank you for reading today as well! Let's meet again♪

I made a reservation for the weekday afternoon tea buffet and visited the restaurant. It was very popular, as weekend reservations were quickly filled. This time, the theme was "Spring Strawberry Fields" starting from March 22, 2023 (Wednesday). There were 20 types of sweets including roll cakes, tarts, a "Rhubarb and Strawberry Mousse" combining rhubarb widely used in Europe, and an "Eton Mess" loved in British homes. In addition, there were 8 types of savory dishes and 2 types of fresh branded strawberries. Drinks included a welcome drink and you could have one refill from the menu. The strawberry macarons and savory dishes were particularly delicious this time. The atmosphere and quality of this restaurant never fail to meet expectations.

It's the Ritz Carlton's afternoon tea. You can eat unlimited two types of strawberries, but they weren't too sweet. You can have as many refills as you want for the welcome tea and the second drink you choose. As it is an Italian restaurant, the farfalle in cream sauce was delicious! The food is served in a buffet style, which makes it a bit difficult to plate neatly. The salmon and strawberry sandwich were also delicious. There were several Italian appetizers, not just sweet desserts, but the desserts were quite sweet, so it would have been even better if there were pizzas or something like that.

When I went back to my hometown in May, I had a sleepover with a friend the night before and had lunch at The Ritz-Carlton Osaka. We had reserved a weekday lunch with free-flowing sparkling and white wine at the Italian restaurant "Splendido." The interior was elegant and the food was of high quality. The appetizers were simple but good. The warm dishes, like the mussels, were delicious. We had a choice of two pasta dishes and freshly baked pizza. The desserts were simple but tasty. The staff was attentive and the service was good. The appetizers were nice, with smoked salmon and prosciutto. I chose the meat for my main course, which was tender and delicious. The portion sizes were just right, allowing us to enjoy the pizza and appetizers fully. We had seconds because it was so enjoyable. With unlimited wine and fresh juice, we had a great time eating and drinking. The desserts were also satisfying, especially the tiramisu. Overall, the experience at The Ritz-Carlton was enjoyable, although it lacked a bit of flair for a Ritz-Carlton restaurant. The price was reasonable for a Ritz-Carlton, especially with drinks included. The afternoon tea buffet seemed popular, and we were recommended to try it next time. The service at The Ritz-Carlton Osaka was excellent, unlike the disappointing service at a hotel in Tokyo. I look forward to trying the highly-rated French restaurant "La Baie" next time. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I stayed at The Ritz-Carlton Osaka and had breakfast the next morning. The restaurant offers a buffet with a mix of Japanese and Western dishes. I enjoyed salmon, sausages, omelettes, and a latte while listening to live piano music. The service was excellent, with attentive waiters and waitresses quickly clearing empty plates. The regular price is 4,500 yen per person, but as a Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite member, I received a 2,000 yen discount, so my friend and I paid a total of 7,000 yen which was a great deal. I hope to stay at a Ritz-Carlton overseas someday!

I visited for lunch during my stay. It is located inside The Ritz-Carlton Osaka. We arrived slightly off lunch hours and just before afternoon tea, but they welcomed us warmly even though they were preparing for the next service. The restaurant was reserved for us, and we were grateful for their hospitality during a busy time. Since we had dinner plans later, we ordered a light a la carte meal - Margherita pizza, salad, and Italian beer. The staff was friendly and the service was impeccable. They even divided the pizza and salad for us. The beer was chilled and served in a nice, thoughtful manner. The pizza dough was soft and the seasoning was elegant. I wish we had ordered more items from the menu. I definitely want to visit again.

I look forward to the Ritz Strawberry Buffet every year♡ In 2023, it will be held from December 29th to May 31st! The theme is "The Strawberry Fields," and they once again delighted us with plenty of delicious strawberries.

I visited with a friend who had a baby half a year apart to celebrate. Although the buffet was fully booked, I really wanted to have it, so I had requested to be informed if there was an opening for the buffet when booking for another afternoon tea. They actually called me to inform me of the availability. The hospitality and phone service were excellent, just as you would expect from The Ritz-Carlton. The buffet itself was very satisfying, with a sense of cleanliness, hospitality, and each item was like an artistic masterpiece due to its vibrant colors and beautiful presentation. The price is high, but I believe you will get the corresponding hospitality, service, taste, and relaxation.

This is an Italian lunch buffet with free-flowing drinks, focusing on dishes from the Tuscany region of Italy. The concept is inspired by Italian markets, with an open kitchen where you can enjoy pizza, pasta, and desserts of your choice. For the main course, you can choose one dish from four options. The drinks offered include sparkling wine, white wine, orange juice, grapefruit juice, and oolong tea.

I visited an all-you-can-eat strawberry buffet! The entrance was so cute ♡ There were around 15 different strawberry desserts, all in mini sizes, which were delicious and sweet. Besides strawberries, there were also chocolate, cookies, and mini cream puffs. The all-you-can-eat strawberries had both sweet and slightly sour options. For savory dishes, there were mini hamburgers, sweet potato tarts, and risotto. The mini burgers were tasty but I wished there was more saltiness, maybe some curry or pasta would be nice. There was live piano music playing, adding to the lovely atmosphere with chandeliers. I would love to visit again!

The place was crowded and a bit chaotic, but the buffet food was of a higher quality compared to other hotels. After a disappointing experience with room service Japanese food last time, I think going for breakfast here is the right choice.

Buffet at The Ritz Carlton✨＊Osaka, Nishi Umeda. *☼*―――――*☼*―――――. The Ritz Carlton Osaka @ritzcarlton.osaka. *☼*―――――*☼*―――――. Enjoyed lunch buffet at #splendid on the first floor. Splendid Mercato: 6,700 yen on weekdays, 6,000 yen on weekends. The restaurant is designed like a villa in Tuscany, Italy. We sat at a cute round table by the window with 5 people. The main dishes include fish, seafood, and meat where you can choose one. We all chose the braised beef cheek which was delicious! They also served champagne as a bonus, which was very nice. The salad bar had a variety of dressings, salts, 3 types of olives, etc. The octopus and shrimp marinade were tasty, and they had a great selection of Italian cold cuts and delicious mozzarella cheese. They also had desserts like Catalana, tiramisu, and whole persimmons. They cut the persimmons for us. Thank you for the wonderful meal!✨.✽・:..｡o￠o｡..:・✽・:..｡o￠o｡..:・✽・:..｡o￠o｡..:・The Ritz Carlton Osaka, 1st floor, Italian #Splendid✽・:..｡o￠o｡..:・✽・:..｡o￠o｡..:・✽・:..｡o￠o｡..:・#RitzCarltonOsaka #UmedaGourmet #NishiUmedaGourmet #NishiUmedaLunch #LunchBuffet #HotelBuffet

On the day with a high temperature of 3°C on Christmas Eve Eve, I ran down the road in front of the Ritz-Carlton, holding my earlobes tightly to prevent the luxurious earrings I had received from falling off. The sound of my heels echoing softly in the warm lobby, where the Christmas tree sparkled, was quite pleasant. I had asked in advance to bring the present during dessert to surprise my companion. Alright, the preparations were complete. As we entered together, we ordered drinks that would complement the dishes. Each dish that was brought to us was sophisticated in flavor and aroma, with Ritz-Carlton's unique seasonal touches. The standout was the appetizer of yellowtail, udo, and caviar. The appearance, taste, and the delightful crunchy texture were truly wonderful. The main dish of venison had just the right thickness and tenderness, with no gaminess, and paired perfectly with the fig's fruity sauce. Being a Christmas special course, everything was adorned with Christmas decorations, making the experience even more exciting. The surprise with the present that came with dessert was well received! It seemed to bring great joy. Thank you for the wonderful food and the help with the surprise. And to my companion, thank you for a lovely evening.

During my stay at The Ritz-Carlton Osaka, I had dinner at this Italian restaurant. While they offered set courses, I decided to order a la carte. I ordered the following dishes: - Napoli Pizza (2,600 yen) ★ - Domestic Carnaroli Rice and Abalone Risotto (3,900 yen) ★ - Grilled Naniwa Black Beef Sirloin (6,900 yen) - Romaine Lettuce, Chicken, Poached Egg, Crouton, Caesar Dressing (2,700 yen) - Chocolate Cake (1,900 yen) The ★ marked dishes are highly recommended. The pizza was hot, juicy, with a thin crispy crust, which I really enjoyed. It was one of my favorite dishes that I would definitely want to have again when in Osaka. The risotto had a rich and intense flavor with a good balance of firm rice, making it delicious. The black beef sirloin I ordered for the main course was a bit thinner than expected and had a strong marbling, so I wish I had chosen a leaner meat. It was also on the smaller side for the price. The chocolate cake for dessert was very rich! It paired perfectly with red wine, almost too well. It was a chocolate lover's dream. Overall, the restaurant was a bit on the pricey side being in a hotel, but the excellent service made it worth it. If I stay at The Ritz again, I would definitely revisit this Italian restaurant. ----- I also update here ♡ Tokyo gourmet, cafe, and delivery information posted Instagram → miogourmet_8 https://instagram.com/miogourmet_8?utm_medium=copy_link Google → gourmet_m8 https://goo.gl/maps/zpP62wsr821yF63i8 I was able to secure a seat at the last minute with a same-day reservation, so booking in advance is recommended.

I stayed at The Ritz-Carlton Osaka for the first time in about 20 years. The renovated areas with the latest designs and the preservation of history blend harmoniously, creating a pleasant atmosphere. I had breakfast there, and was given the option of choosing between a spacious area or a bright terrace seat. The staff introduced themselves and explained the breakfast menu before I even headed to the buffet area. I selected a "Truffle Omelette" from the various egg dishes and a "Cafe Latte" for my drink. Although the buffet selection was not extensive, the quality of all the dishes was high. I was tempted to have multiple servings of the grilled mackerel marinated in miso, but refrained. The "Simmered Eggplant" had a delicate sweetness with a rich dashi flavor. While there weren't many side dish options, they prepared a fluffy rice ball and freshly baked French toast with whipped cream and maple syrup. The salad featured unique yet delicious vegetables, and the bread was homemade. The staff promptly cleared used dishes and kept the table clean, making the dining experience luxurious. In contrast, I recalled a recent experience at a business hotel where I had to request for used dishes to be taken away during breakfast. The staff at The Ritz-Carlton Osaka offered champagne upon my inquiry, which made me happy. The lobby was transformed into a Christmas-themed setting, and I felt that even a 5,000 yen breakfast was justified by the luxurious ambiance.

I participated in a sweets buffet at Splendido in The Ritz-Carlton hotel. It was so enjoyable to both look at and eat the sweets, and I was very satisfied♪ The 90-minute time limit went by in a flash! I was able to experience something out of the ordinary(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)
