Courtyard by Marriott Osaka Honmachi (2-3-7 Minamihonmachi, Chuo-ku, Osaka; General Manager: Shohei Nagao), a Marriott International hotel, has completed a partial renovation of its restaurant STITCH and renewed its popular semi-buffet lunch, which lets guests choose their own main dish.
The name "STITCH" means a seam or a milestone, reflecting a hope that the restaurant would become a place where people of many generations gather and connect, much like threads woven together. On the hotel's 2nd floor, the restaurant offers an open space with gently filtering natural light, private rooms for a quiet meal, and large tables for spending time with friends, adapting to a variety of needs. It serves as the breakfast buffet venue for hotel guests, while dinner hours are used mainly for parties, gatherings, and private bookings.
Following the restaurant's partial renovation, completed in August, the popular semi-buffet lunch, featuring a chef's special main dish of the guest's choice, has been refreshed with new content.
Fresh, seasonal vegetables rich in moisture and sweetness, such as Senshu eggplant and Senshu onion, are delivered directly from Senshu Tatsumi Farm in the Senshu region of southern Osaka Prefecture, and are used across five kinds of seasonally rotating appetizers and about eight kinds of salad.
The lineup has also grown with more sweet options alongside the vegetable soup, including 10 kinds of bread and 3 kinds of donuts.
For the main dish, guests can choose from 6 options, including chicken, pasta, and an omelette rice served with a daily rotation of three sauces (demi-glace, tomato, and white sauce). New additions include tagliatelle pasta with meat sauce and a grilled Reuben sandwich with corned beef and sauerkraut, both brought to the table freshly made.
Enjoy the semi-buffet lunch, now featuring the chef's special main dishes alongside plenty of vegetables, for a relaxed girls' lunch, a meal with friends, or a leisurely weekend lunch.
