Opened on December 1st last year in Namba, Osaka, "Tokyu Stay Mercure Osaka Namba" is an urban luxury hotel located within a 5-minute walk from Namba Station and Shinsaibashi Station on the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line. The restaurant CENTRE M at this hotel offers an "Escape Minami" concept, providing a place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the noise of Osaka Minami, and enjoy a relaxing dining experience. The restaurant features a stylish modern space with contemporary art, greenery, expansive views from the windows, and a luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere. The spring-themed afternoon tea set includes a variety of savory and sweet dishes, along with a selection of teas from the renowned German tea brand Ronnefeldt. The high-quality food, attentive staff, and elegant tableware make dining here a truly luxurious experience. Enjoy a unique and elegant dining experience at this sophisticated hotel restaurant.

I made a reservation for the all-you-can-eat bread lunch that caught my attention. The hotel was very stylish and enjoyable to look around. However, I felt that it was a bit too elaborate. My friend who came with me also agreed, and we found the restroom to be dimly lit and the mirror hard to see. The restaurant is located on the second floor. It was a Saturday, and there were mostly young women, so it was almost full. We were seated by the window. The chairs were comfortable. The table was small, so there was no space to place our plates, and we ended up putting them by the window. The air conditioning was too cold. For lunch, you can choose from 6 types of fresh pasta, and bread and salad are buffet style. Drinks are an additional charge. The pasta sauces available were oil, tomato, and cream. It was nice to be able to choose from various types of pasta. I ordered the "Eggplant and Mozzarella Amatriciana" with fujilli pasta (incl. tax 2420 yen) and the "Cream Pasta with Plump Shrimp and Lemon" with pappardelle pasta (incl. tax 2530 yen). The bread I was looking forward to included fermented butter croissants, sausage croissants, soy milk salt bread, beet petit bread, mini red bean buns, chocolate whip, and black tea scones, among others. They were all delicious, but the fermented butter croissant was outstanding. There were 6 types of salads, beautifully arranged and quite luxurious. The pasta portions were generous on large plates. The amount was quite substantial, so I wanted to eat more bread and salad, but I couldn't. Both pastas were very delicious. I was pleased to see that there was soup available in addition to bread and salad. It was corn soup, but it had a slightly different taste from regular corn soup. The afternoon tea that other customers ordered also looked delicious. It was a very satisfying lunch with a full stomach.

This was my first visit to enjoy afternoon tea here. The seating was a bit cramped, which made it feel a bit uncomfortable. It was also quite noisy, so it didn't feel very relaxing. The menu mainly featured peach, melon, and mango dishes. The mango was particularly delicious and sweet. However, some of the less sweet items were a bit disappointing. Overall, I recommend this place for those looking for a chat over tea. It's more affordable compared to other high-end hotel afternoon teas. If you're looking for a more leisurely and delicious experience, you might want to try a high-class hotel instead. Thank you for the meal. [Menu] - APERITIF - - ORIGINAL DRINK - Peach Turquoise (Non-Alcoholic) - First Dish - Fruit Eating Comparison (Peach, Melon, Mango) - SPECIALITE - Top Tier: Fruits of the Season with Peach Sorbet - SWEETS - Middle Tier: Mango Yogurt Glass Shortcake, Melon Rare Cheesecake, Peach Mille-feuille, Mango Macaron, Peach and Earl Grey Roll Cake, Melon Tart, Peach Panna Cotta - SWEETS - Bottom Tier: Savory items including Colorful Tomato Caprese, Salmon and Avocado Croissant Sandwich, Prosciutto Melon, Quiche Fromage, Cold Corn Potage, Peach and Cream Cheese Bruschetta Scone, Clotted Cream [Includes free flow of 12 premium loose leaf teas from Ronnefeldt, Germany]

Part of the hotel has been turned into a cafe, with Wi-Fi and comfortable sofas for longer stays. You can also do work here. I ordered the seasonal "peach parfait" and it was a delightful treat with a whole peach inside. I was surprised to find a strawberry cake-like dessert inside as well. It was a great experience enjoying delicious food in a lively atmosphere. The place is perfect for a girls' night out with its Instagrammable vibes and great location.

I had a hard time choosing from the pasta options, as there were also different sauces to choose from. The bread was cold, but I wish they had some freshly baked ones available. The croissant was large and a bit difficult to eat since it was cold, but it was okay. The lighting was a bit off, and I was too busy chatting to take good pictures of the food, but it was delicious. The salad, or deli items, were all tasty, and I was satisfied with the deli, bread, and soup combo for a reasonably priced lunch. The pasta was also delicious. I ended up feeling too full. There were two types of croissants, and as my friend and I were discussing whether to split them, a male staff member kindly offered to cut them in half for us. It was a lovely gesture of service and consideration. Thank you so much.

The all-you-can-eat bread and salad were really delicious. Personally, I loved the ribbon pasta salad with basil sauce. The bread options included meal-type and dessert-type sweet items, and the croissant was particularly tasty. I couldn't resist ordering coffee to go with it, but it would have been perfect if it came as a set. The main pasta dish allowed you to choose the type of noodles and sauce, and it was filled with plenty of ingredients and tasted really delicious. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, allowing for a leisurely meal. I would definitely like to visit again.

Afternoon tea with peaches, melons, and mangoes for 5,000 yen with free refills! It looked delicious and seemed like a good deal for an afternoon tea, so I made a reservation. Honestly, the quality of each item was like convenience store level... The fruit assortment was sweet and tasty, but the melon on the plate was hard like cucumber, and the tart crust seemed like it was from a 100 yen shop. They had a good variety of teas and the place was clean and nice, with cute plates, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for great taste.

Santoru Emu is located on the second floor of the Tokyu Stay Melucure Hotel, which opened last December. It's a hotel restaurant that is child-friendly, so I decided to give it a try. My friend made a reservation about 3 days in advance, and it was easy to get a table. I didn't even realize that there was a restaurant like this in the hotel, and it doesn't seem to be well-known yet. It was a bit tricky to find because it's not listed on food review websites like Tabelog, and even with the address on the map, I got a little lost. For lunch, they only offer pasta with a choice of 4 different sauces and pasta types. I opted for the Creamy Shrimp and Lemon Pasta priced at 2,530 yen. It seemed a bit expensive for lunch, but it comes with unlimited freshly baked bread and salad. The salad was not just a regular salad, but more like a carefully prepared dish, and it was enough to fill me up on its own. The staff recommended the fresh pasta with cream sauce, and it was indeed filling. I couldn't even finish the bread and salad. However, since drinks are not included, it made me hesitate a bit about the value for money. The place is new, has a nice atmosphere, and is child-friendly, making it ideal for a lunch outing with mom friends. It doesn't seem to be well-known yet, as there were plenty of empty seats inside, and it seemed like you could walk in even on the day of your visit.

I arrived at 11 o'clock. The location of the restaurant on the 2nd floor of the hotel was a bit hard to find, but the atmosphere was stylish and calm. I had made a reservation for a seat-only lunch, so I chose the pasta lunch menu after arriving at the restaurant. There were many types of pasta to choose from, with a total of 60 combinations available by mixing 5 seasonal sauces with 12 types of fresh pasta. I ordered the following two combinations: juicy shrimp and lemon cream pasta, and spinach and truffle-scented rich carbonara with fettuccine. The dishes came with freshly baked bread and a healthy deli salad buffet, which was very voluminous but incredibly delicious! The staff were friendly and provided attentive service, making it a very comfortable and enjoyable time.

"CENTRE M is a restaurant located on the 2nd floor of the Tokyu Stay Melrose Namba in Shinsaibashi, Osaka! Their lunch menu includes all-you-can-eat freshly baked bread and healthy deli salad with a pasta lunch. You can choose from 5 different sauces and 12 types of pasta, so you can enjoy your favorite pasta. The deli dishes are visually appealing and delicious, with a focus on vegetables, so you can eat without feeling guilty. The bread is small in size, allowing you to try various types. You can enjoy this even without staying at the hotel, making it a great option when you feel like you need more vegetables!"

[Regarding the ordered fresh pasta lunch] - Piping hot prawn and lemon cream pasta for 2530 yen (including tax) - Pasta (choose from 12 types): Comes with all-you-can-eat Trottolle "freshly baked bread" and "6 types of deli salads" (there were also other options like fried chicken) [About the restaurant] - The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of "Tokyu Stay Mercure Osaka Namba" - There is a receipt provided (with the total price including tax) - Payment is made at the register - Credit cards and PayPay are accepted for payment (displayed as a QR code)

The restaurant at the small but stylish hotel had many Instagram-worthy points. You can choose your pasta by looking at samples in a case and selecting the flavor. Each type of pasta has recommended flavors written as a reference. Aside from pasta, there was a half-buffet with about 10 types of bread, including croissants and round bread, which were delicious. The buffet was average. The pasta was presented beautifully in large bowls and tasted delicious. If only they had free drinks, it would have been perfect.

Colorful and delicious! The pasta has a wide variety of noodles to choose from, making it enjoyable to decide which one to try. The atmosphere is stylish, the staff is friendly, and the chairs are comfortable, allowing you to relax and enjoy. I would definitely like to go back again! (⑅•ᴗ•⑅)

I was attracted by the delicious pasta, all-you-can-eat bread, and salad, so I made a reservation. It was easy to choose a pasta from a variety of noodles, and they even showed us samples of the noodles, which was helpful. My wife had the anchovy peperoncino with Genovese, and I had the eggplant and mozzarella cheese Amatriciana with spinach pasta with a difficult name. The eggplant and tomato were well combined with the pasta and tasted very delicious. The ratatouille and croissants were also incredibly tasty, especially the croissants, which I wanted to take home! The atmosphere of the restaurant was stylish and had a moderate sense of luxury, with mostly female customers. The only downside was that the entrance was hard to find!笑

The atmosphere inside the hotel was perfect. I ordered a pasta lunch and enjoyed customizing the pasta noodles. I tried to enjoy the buffet while waiting for the pasta, but by the time I returned, the pasta was already on the table. I wanted to start with the salad, but if I left the pasta, it would clump together, so I alternated between the two. The noodles were chewy and delicious, and the portion of pasta was satisfying. There were a few staff members in the kitchen, so I had to raise my hand multiple times to get their attention. It's even more enjoyable when there is attentiveness, consideration, and smiles from the staff.

We went to this restaurant for a friend's birthday surprise! We reserved the lunch afternoon tea and ordered a birthday message plate. The actual plate was very luxurious and cute, and my friend was very happy^ ^ It was perfect for Instagram! It's worth more than the price! Thank you very much!
