About the Halloween Sweets Lunch & Night Buffet

The buffet showcases creatively designed sweets inspired by Halloween motifs like ghosts, eyeballs, and coffins, alongside autumn ingredients such as pumpkin, eggplant, and mushrooms. The hotel is decorated with Halloween-themed ornaments and photo spots to create a festive atmosphere.

Dinner guests can enjoy the unique Black Cat Cupcake, a visually striking treat with jet-black cream. Other notable sweets include vibrant cassis mousse shaped like coffins, pumpkin pudding with a quirky twist, baked potatoes, sweet potato tarts, pumpkin cheesecake, Mont Blanc, caramel pear, grape and lemon jelly, persimmon dumplings, pear sherbet, and orange sherbet.

The savory buffet offers around 70 dishes inspired by the autumn harvest, such as grilled eggplant capellini with shiso aroma, mushroom potage, gnocchi in pumpkin cheese sauce, and creamy gratin with salmon and avocado. Guests can also create their own original curry using three types of special sauces and toppings like fried shrimp. Other main dishes include pork rotisserie porchetta, tandoori chicken, and seafood stew cacciucco.

To enhance the Halloween spirit, the hotel hosts a word search game where guests find hidden letters in the restaurant to complete a secret phrase and receive a sweet reward. On weekdays, groups of four or more adults get one person’s meal free, while on weekends and holidays, children under elementary school age can enjoy a candy grab event.
