The Ritz-Carlton Osaka has launched new autumn-themed lunch and afternoon buffets at its Italian restaurant Splendido, available from September 1 to November 12, 2026.
The buffets focus on seasonal Japanese autumn ingredients like chestnuts, pumpkin, grapes, and pears, making Splendido a convenient dining spot in the Umeda area for those enjoying the fall season.
The afternoon sweets buffet is priced from ¥7,000 for adults on weekdays and ¥7,500 on weekends, with children’s prices at ¥3,500 and ¥3,750 respectively. The weekday-only lunch buffet is ¥7,000 for adults and ¥3,500 for children.
About the Autumn Buffets at The Ritz-Carlton Osaka
The afternoon sweets buffet, “Stars of Autumn,” features 13 desserts and 9 savory dishes highlighting autumn’s best flavors such as chestnuts, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, grapes, apples, muscat grapes, figs, and persimmons. A live dessert station offers a Japanese chestnut Mont Blanc, freshly prepared by the pastry chef.
Executive Pastry Chef Frédéric Moreau from France blends French pastry techniques with Japanese autumn ingredients to create elegant sweets like a Breton-style tart with muscat grapes and Bourbon vanilla cream, and an original “Gâteau Nantais” inspired cake with persimmon cream. Savory options include pumpkin velouté with shrimp and cashew nut confit, chestnut and mushroom risotto, roast pork with gorgonzola and walnut sauce, and truffle scrambled egg gratin.
The lunch buffet, “Flavor of Autumn,” offers Italian dishes rich in autumn tastes, such as polpette with mushroom cream sauce, roasted salmon with maitake mushrooms in red wine sauce, and carved sirloin roast with mushroom gravy served live. Seasonal desserts like toffee blancmange with persimmon sauce and tonka bean panna cotta with apple and fig jelly complement the savory dishes.
Guests can enjoy these buffets in the refined atmosphere of Splendido, evoking a Tuscan villa, and from October 1 to November 5, Halloween-themed sweets add a playful touch to the autumn menu.
