Hotel Okura Kyoto (Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto) will serve Christmas-only menus at the three restaurants on its top floor from December 19 (Saturday) to December 25 (Friday), 2026. The lineup covers French cuisine, teppanyaki and a buffet, each offered in a different style. Separately, Café Lec Cour (カフェ レックコート) will serve a seasonal sweets plate and a course menu from December 1 (Tuesday) to December 25 (Friday).
The "Christmas Menu 2026" gives each restaurant its own Christmas menu. At Sky Restaurant Pittoresque (スカイレストラン ピトレスク), classic French cuisine using winter ingredients is served for lunch and dinner, with a choice of two courses, including "Menu de Noël," whose meat course features Japanese Black beef fillet and foie gras "Rossini style." At Teppanyaki Tokiwa (鉄板焼 ときわ), chefs grill selected ingredients such as lobster and branded Wagyu beef in front of guests in a dinner course. At Top Lounge Orizzonte (トップラウンジ オリゾンテ), a dinner buffet of about 60 dishes, including roast chicken and meat pie, is held, suited to lively get-togethers with family and friends.
At Café Lec Cour, a sweets plate with Christmas motifs, "Joyeux Noël" (ジョワイユ ノエル), and a special course, "Saint Nuit" (サンニュイ), let guests enjoy a meal from appetizer to dessert in a more casual setting.
