Hotel Granvia Kyoto (Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto) will host a "Dinner Buffet" at its 2nd-floor cafe restaurant "Le Temps" from April 1 (Wed) to June 30 (Tue), 2026.
The buffet features all-you-can-eat dishes made with seasonal spring ingredients such as shirasu (baby sardines), sakura shrimp, new potatoes, and spring cabbage, combined with Kyoto staples including Kujo negi (green onion), Mizuo yuzu, and Saikyo miso. Popular stations include roast beef and a sushi counter where a sushi chef prepares nigiri right before diners' eyes.
Monthly Changing Menus
Each month, the chef highlights ingredients at their seasonal peak in a specially curated monthly rotating menu, included in the all-you-can-eat selection.
April
Tamba Free-Range Chicken Kyoto-Style Pot-au-Feu
Tamba free-range chicken is simmered together with cabbage, onion, and carrot, with yomogi fu (mugwort wheat gluten) from Hanbei Fu adding a flavorful accent. It is served in a broth seasoned with yuzu pepper for a light, refreshing kick.
Fish Poché with Morel Mushrooms and New Onion Étouffée
Delicate white fish is gently poached and paired with steamed morel mushrooms and new onions that lock in their natural umami. The rich, distinctive aroma and flavor of the morel mushrooms is a highlight of the dish.
May
Saikyo Miso-Glazed Lamb Roti (Jus d'Agneau)
Lamb is coated and roasted with Saikyo miso, bringing out the full flavor of the meat and finished with a sauce that draws out its umami.
Firefly Squid Confit in Clam and Spring Cabbage Soup
Firefly squid is slow-cooked at low temperature and served in a soup that draws out the natural umami of clams and spring cabbage.
June
Duck Roti with New Potato Gratin
Roasted duck is served alongside a creamy gratin made with fluffy new potatoes.
Herb-Crusted Salmon Baked in the Oven with Citrus Chai Sauce
Oven-baked salmon with a crispy herb breadcrumb crust is paired with an aromatic citrus sauce that stimulates the appetite.
Sweets Corner: Paris-Brest with Matcha
The sweets corner features a Paris-Brest—a traditional French baked pastry—made with a crispy ring-shaped choux pastry. It is filled with two types of cream: a matcha custard cream using Marukyu-Koyamaen matcha and a matcha whipped cream, then topped with Tamba grape black soybeans.
