I visited for lunch at The Ritz-Carlton Osaka, located on the 5th floor. The interior of the restaurant is extremely gorgeous and elegant! With a large red chandelier, red velvet chairs, and classical decor with red flowers as the main theme, the luxurious atmosphere is overwhelming. I had the 12,700 yen course menu, which included: Amuse-bouche of apple mousse, shiso meringue, and duck rillette. A pre-appetizer of shrimp flan. Foie gras canard and squab terrine with bread and spices, beets, and arugula declension. The foie gras was very smooth and had a great mouthfeel. The combination with squab was amazing. The bread and spice crumble added a nice sweetness and crunch. A wonderful dish. Steamed sea bass with seaweed, white asparagus, vermouth-flavored juice, and yuzu bearnaise sauce. The sea bass was paired with nori powder, complementing the umami flavor. The white asparagus had a perfect texture. The yuzu-scented bearnaise was light like whipped cream. Roasted venison loin with coffee butter, turnip fondant, croquant kohlrabi, apple and geneva vinegar. The venison had a fine texture, no gamey taste, and was moist and tender. The robust umami flavor paired perfectly with the coffee butter's richness and bitterness. Avant-dessert of Yuge Ranch fresh cheese mousse and fruit compote. Crepe Suzette traditional, vanilla ice cream, almond praline. The tableside service for Crepe Suzette was enjoyable to watch. The crepe was soft and chewy. The orange-flavored caramel sauce soaked into the crepe was delicious. The accompanying ice cream was excellent. Coffee or tea. Petit fours of pistachio chocolate, chestnut macaron, lemon tart, and chocolate and lemon truffle. The food was traditional French with beautiful presentation and delicate flavors. The perfect balance of flavors and the meticulousness in the dishes were impressive. The outstanding service sets this restaurant apart from others in hotels. The ambiance, hospitality, and taste all come together for a high-quality experience. Highly recommended for a special occasion!

【La Baie】Ranked 1st in Umeda for lunch on Tabelog and Ikkyu, this renowned restaurant lives up to its reputation with exquisite cuisine and service. The French restaurant exudes luxury, with a large bouquet of roses at its center and a mix of opulence and a woody ambiance. I reserved a table and visited the restaurant to experience a taste of indulgence. The 6-course lunch set costs ¥13,500 (with an additional charge for upgrading the dessert to crepe). The dishes included: - Kinmedai Grilled Flower Celery Marinated, Tomato Blancmange, Confit Vegetables - Kasago and Shellfish Beignets Bouillabaisse-style Juice, Aromatic Nori - Roasted Wagyu Beef, Coffee Butter, Red Wine Sauce - Yumegato Ranch Fresh Cheese Mousse, Fruit Compote - Crepe Flambé Traditional/Vanilla Ice Cream and Citrus Verrine - Petit Fours Each dish was not only delicious but also a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate. The butter was freshly carved in front of us, the crepe was flambeed tableside, and we got to choose our petit fours from a display case. The live cooking element added to the overall enjoyment, and before we knew it, two and a half hours had passed. It felt luxurious to spend so much time on a lunch, but it was a truly indulgent experience. The attentive service from the staff, who explained each dish with warmth and engaged in friendly conversation, made the meal fly by in a blink of an eye.

I used it for dinner. The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent! Every dish is beautiful and you can enjoy flavors beyond what you see! It is a special restaurant that I would like to use for anniversaries and celebrations. I think it is the best French cuisine in Osaka. Thank you for the meal!

I always go for a Michelin ⭐️, it's really something special. I feel the most at ease using this place in Osaka. It's convenient in many ways. The taste is delicious, maybe because it has a Japanese touch to it. They don't use fancy French ingredients like foie gras or truffles here. That's another reason why this place is great. I'll definitely be back again soon!

The skillful craftsmanship was evident in every dish! I was initially recommended champagne, which was the perfect choice. The scallops wrapped in daikon with scallop liver on top were rich in flavor. The button shrimp had a basil aroma. The chicken liver was wrapped in beets and raspberries. They provided unsalted butter and seaweed butter. Geranium salt and freshly ground pepper were also on the table. The bread was warm and cozy like a blanket. The turnip flan was bursting with turnip flavor. The seared bigfin reef squid made occasional appearances. The grilled golden threadfin bream was accompanied by a tomato blancmange with summer vegetables. The sea lettuce worked its magic with the rockfish and crustaceans. The chicken fillet was topped with truffles and had a crispy skin. The fresh cheese mousse was refreshing. For dessert, I chose a savarin, which surprised me with its shape. I limited myself to three pieces of sweets. The meticulously crafted French cuisine was truly impressive. The wine pairing included white, white, and red wines, which made me quite tipsy. This restaurant has become a favorite spot for private dining with family.

This is a French restaurant inside The Ritz-Carlton. The way the dishes are presented is amazing, and I get excited every time a dish is brought to the table. The staff's service is also excellent. For lunch, I ordered a set course. I was recommended to add truffles for an additional fee. The seasoning of the dishes is also superbly delicious! The dessert, Crêpe Suzette, is a must-try dessert with its presentation.

I was taken to this restaurant for my birthday. It is a high-class restaurant, so we were both excited even before arriving at the restaurant. The interior of the restaurant was beautiful, with slightly dim lighting, and the staff were all very friendly, which helped ease my nerves. It truly lived up to its good reputation. The food was also delicious. One dish that stood out was the steamed lobster in a cocotte, with the perfect balance of tenderness and freshness that left a crisp texture. They have a large live lobster tank in the kitchen, so the lobsters are very fresh. Since it was my birthday celebration, the staff took a photo of us and gave us the photo on a card as a gift when we left. It made me very happy. I had a full stomach and heart, and had a wonderful birthday celebration.

Celebrating special occasions at La Vé is always a treat, thanks to the thoughtful service provided by the staff. The exquisite French cuisine and wine in a lovely setting make for a truly memorable experience. From the amuse-bouche to the foie gras, each dish is a delight for the senses. And the crepe dessert is a personal favorite, bringing a perfect end to a perfect meal at my beloved Ritz-Carlton restaurant.

Prestige 40,000 yen Ritz-Carlton Osaka French restaurant Michelin one-star ⭐️ All the dishes were beautiful and delicious, the crepe dessert made in front of us was fun, from petit fours to the final chocolate, there was nothing left to be desired in this world, a truly enjoyable and luxurious time. Highly recommended for a special anniversary.

I enjoyed a French full course meal at "La Vé" in The Ritz-Carlton Osaka in Kita-ku, Osaka. The hospitality of the sommelier and concierge, as well as the furnishings, truly live up to the Michelin one-star standard. I am grateful for the opportunity to experience such top-notch quality.

After a long time, I revisited Ritz for a daytime drink. The dress code was elegance style. I thought that being elegant myself, I could even be naked, but the beautiful female waitress told me that my "thing" was not up to par, so being naked was a no-go (laughs). Well, whatever. By the way, I usually visit in a limousine with a driver, but this time I entered through the back entrance for commoners, so I will explain with photos later for the common folk. And while drinking beer, I listened to the conversations around me. The customer on the left was a "pootaro" who will soon go to Tokyo to start work after getting a qualification, with his girlfriend. The customer on the right was a group of two beautiful mature women from Osaka debating whether there should be tiger print in an elegance style. By the way, the conclusion of the debate was that there should be no tiger print, but leopard print is fine. Well, who cares. In my opinion, it's a high-class place but both the customers and the staff are human, so there's no need to be too nervous. As a commoner, I ordered the seasonal bay lunch with a 3-glass pairing. And my favorite beer as an aperitif. The avant-amuse was a tart, quiche, and aspic amuse-bouche of sea bream and turnip. All of them were delicious and went well with beer. The appetizer was white asparagus with buttery roti. The knife cut felt fibrous but when chewed, it was soft and tender, cooked to perfection. The appetizer sauce of blue crab broth was rich in flavor, with the cream adding a creamy richness that paired well with wine. The fish was mebaru etuve. I realized it was my first time having mebaru this way. The mebaru was coated with seaweed powder and the bouillabaisse-style sauce enhanced the fish's natural flavor. The fish was tender yet firm, and the rich sauce was elegant and had no fishy smell, pairing well with wine. The meat was roasted deer loin. The meat was from Ezo, and despite being game meat, it was tender with a perfect pink center. The sauce was a classic game sauce poivrade with a hint of cassis, subtly sweet and elegant, with added truffle shavings for an exquisite flavor, pairing well with wine. The pre-dessert was fresh cheese mousse. The dessert was a rum-flavored savarin. Lastly, petit fours and chocolate. The restaurant had an atmosphere of an 18th-century British nobleman's mansion. The hospitality of the three sommeliers and the female maître d' and servers was impeccable. The cuisine by Christophe Jibert, who held the position of head chef at La Ve for 16 years and earned 12 Michelin stars, was perfect in every way. In simple terms, I was completely satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

The customer service was truly wonderful. Just that alone made me very satisfied. The food was delicious, especially the amuse-bouche. Overall, it was tasty, but the dessert was too sweet and maybe it could have been omitted... I might have been more satisfied without it. However, it is still The Ritz-Carlton. I would like to use it for special occasions.

The food is delicious, and the service is excellent. I have visited twice for lunch and enjoyed a leisurely meal both times. Choosing the crepe for dessert means it is flambeed right in front of you, which is a nice touch. The crepe itself is moist and delicious, as they let the batter rest overnight. I also love the chocolate served in a box with a picture of Mont Saint-Michel during the post-meal drink.

Lunch at a French restaurant, La Baie, was delicious! The total bill came to 13,500 yen (including 15% tax) for a meal that included Perrier water for 2,500 yen. The meal started with a delightful appetizer of marinated scallops with cauliflower cream and yuzu vinaigrette, followed by steamed rockfish with bouillabaisse-style juice and condiments. The main course was roasted venison with coffee butter and turnip fondant. For dessert, there was a selection of dishes including fresh cheese mousse, rum-flavored savarin, and strawberry compote with cocoa mousse. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I went to a long-established French restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton to celebrate my female friend's special occasion! I was a bit nervous about going to such a high-class French restaurant that I don't often visit. We ordered the following course: Dinner Course: Classic 27,000 yen Wine Set (3 glasses): 10,500 yen - Appetizer - Caviar - Lobster Salad - Grilled Thai Sea Bass - Roasted Duck - Fresh Cheese Mousse - Rum-flavored Savarin - Tea Treats - Chocolate Every dish was beautifully presented, delicate, and very delicious. There were so many desserts that came out, even though it was the smallest course, I was very full. The service at The Ritz-Carlton was impeccable, with the staff being very attentive and professional. I can't go often, but it was a luxury experience and the best! Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Each table is assigned a dedicated servant who provides impeccable service, reaching even the most hard-to-reach itchy spots. This is what they mean by thorough attention to detail. They provide attentive service without being intrusive. Of course, the main dishes were delicate yet hearty. The chef's thoughtfulness is evident in the incredibly delicious dishes. They do not stray from the classic French cuisine. It truly lives up to the reputation of the Ritz. It goes without saying, we were thoroughly satisfied!!

I experienced first-class French cuisine and felt like a celebrity. We visited as a family to celebrate a special occasion. There is a dress code. You can enjoy from start to finish. The food is all elaborate and classic French but with a new twist. It's super satisfying to have wine with the dishes. Everything is intricate and delicious, but the butter in the middle was impressive. We also enjoyed the dessert performance. I would like to use it again if there is another opportunity.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is outstanding. The service is also excellent. It is a top-notch restaurant! It is perfect for special occasions like birthdays. Men are required to wear a jacket or a collared shirt, which may be a bit strict for some people. However, since it's not a place for everyday dining, it's not a big deal. I will probably visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I visited for a New Year's lunch from afar. When I entered the hotel, I was overwhelmed by the impressive wooden interior. According to the hotel's website, the interior concept is "18th-century English noble mansion". The restaurant's interior is also in wooden tones. I felt a sense of strictness and order. As a side note, I have an image that places like Osaka and Kobe like Rococo style. Perhaps it's because of Bell La, Marie Antoinette, and the influence of Takarazuka who played these roles. The image of the set of the TV show "Tantei Night Scoop" when Ryutaro Upoka was the host is also strong. Is it a bit of an old image? Also, when it comes to the 18th century, it was the outbreak of the French Revolution! The end of the elegant Rococo era. Thinking about it, it's quite profound. Going back to the story, I was a bit nervous when I entered the impressive restaurant. But I quickly realized it was unnecessary. The staff were all kind and friendly. I felt very at ease. Now, onto the meal. I had requested a wine pairing with 3 glasses in advance, so I also ordered a champagne separately. There were several types of champagne for the glass on the menu, which was amazing. During this season, many French restaurants have fewer open bottles for glasses. Some places don't even have champagne, only sparkling wine, which can be disappointing. The appetizer of crab ephelides with fennel cream and delicate bouillabaisse jelly was served first. The abalone sautéed in butter with liver and white wine sauce, black truffle, and seaweed ecume was delicious. The deer loin roast with coffee butter, turnip fondant, croquant kohlrabi, apple and geneva vinegar was refreshing and tasty. The rum-flavored savarin with fruit confiture and Yumegata Ranch fromage frais was delightful. The elegant dessert to celebrate the New Year with chestnut and orange was superb. Finally, espresso and petit fours were served. The canapé served at the beginning had a strong salty taste. The wine pairing was excellent. The main course of abalone was delicious. The main course of deer was light and tasty. The baguette was outstanding. The dessert was delightful. The atmosphere of the restaurant was lively and enjoyable. The female staff's swift movements were impressive. The classic BGM was elegant, but the loud voices of the customers were more prominent, creating a lively and fun atmosphere. It felt like a brasserie but with a lively and enjoyable vibe. Finally, as it is a foreign-owned hotel, there were foreign guests, which added to the cosmopolitan atmosphere.

This week, just before Christmas, I will visit three French restaurants in one week. La Vé was the first stop today, and I requested the Blue Lobster. They reduced the number of dishes and improved the quality of the ingredients for me. Also, I had the beef fillet as the main dish, and it had a taste that I couldn't experience at other restaurants. Lately, there have been a lot of charcoal-grilled meats, but the cooking method of grilling on an iron plate and finishing on a grill seems surprisingly fresh now. Many places serve olive oil and butter with bread, but La Vé offers seaweed butter and unsalted butter. Butter can sometimes change the taste of the food, but I didn't mind La Vé's butter. The private room had very dim lighting, so I apologize for the dark photos of the dishes. Please refer to the September menu for menu items and photos. Thank you for the delicious meal today.
