The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Osaka Midosuji (4-2-3 Hiranomachi, Chuo-ku, Osaka) will begin accepting reservations for its holiday-season-only menus on Friday, October 9, 2026. This year's lineup includes a dinner course prepared with French techniques and luxurious ingredients such as truffle, foie gras, and caviar, a lunch buffet set that incorporates winter flavors, and an afternoon tea that pairs strawberries with pistachio and chocolate. From dinner or lunch with someone special to afternoon tea and a drink to enjoy alongside a meal, the menus are designed to suit each occasion with the flavors of winter.
During the serving period, "Osaka Hikari no Kyoen 2026" (大阪・光の饗宴2026) is held on Midosuji, the symbolic street of Osaka. Visitors can enjoy the seasonal menus while illuminations decorate the city for the holiday season.
Noël Dinner With Winter Delicacies
At the French restaurant "La Belle Assiette" (ラ ベル アシェット), the holiday-season-only dinner course comes with a selection of pairing wines that bring out the flavors of each dish. On Thursday, December 24 and Friday, December 25, live music by professional musicians adds to the occasion.
The course opens with amuse-bouches that layer winter flavors. One plate combines a robust pâté de campagne with sweet lily bulb and truffle, and another wraps marinated trout salmon in daikon cut into a long, thin sheet (katsuramuki). The "Truffle and Potato Kromesky" is made to look black like a truffle, and a quiche is paired with a mousse made from monkfish liver (ankimo) prepared in the style of a terrine, adding further winter flavors. The soup is a nourishing chicken consommé with the umami of mushrooms and shijimi clams.
For the fish course, sea bream and shrimp in a cream stew are wrapped in pie pastry and baked, so guests can also enjoy the moment of breaking open the pastry. The meat course pairs tender grilled beef fillet with a foie gras flan and is finished with Madeira sauce. Dessert is a strawberry and vanilla ice cream millefeuille, with the contrast of red and white giving it a festive Christmas look. As a playful Osaka touch, it is served with a financier made to look like takoyaki.

Tableau – Noël Afternoon Tea at THE BAR
From December 1 (Tuesday) to December 25 (Friday), 2026, the bar and lounge "THE BAR" serves the holiday-season-only afternoon tea "Tableau." Strawberries, a winter fruit, are combined with pistachio, chocolate, berries, and more to depict a sparkling winter scene. The tea is built around red, green, and white, with layers of different ingredients.
The signature parfait layers strawberry sauce, elderflower jelly, red currants, and white chocolate mousse, and is decorated with strawberries, vanilla ice cream, custard, and chocolate. Custard cream is piped onto the vanilla ice cream and caramelized to add a toasty aroma and a crisp texture, and the elderflower jelly leaves a light aftertaste. The pistachio tree hides strawberry jelly inside a tart and is topped with piped pistachio and white chocolate cream. The chocolate cream brownie pairs a rich brownie with strawberry-flavored chocolate cream, accented with dried strawberries.
The savories are colorful as well, including a rosace of cured duck ham and strawberry, chicken ham and pistachio espresso sheet, green pea mousse with shrimp and consommé jelly, and cheese panna cotta with a strawberry and tomato salad. A chilled beet potage and a matcha flan made with snow crab add contrasting flavors suited to the holiday season.
