Waldorf Astoria has made its grand debut in Japan with the opening of Waldorf Astoria Osaka, bringing its legacy of fine hospitality and culinary innovation to one of Asia’s most exciting food capitals. With 252 rooms designed by André Fu, the hotel sets a new standard for luxury and taste, especially through its four distinct restaurant and bar concepts.
Each venue blends global refinement with local artistry, creating immersive dining experiences that celebrate both the brand’s history and Osaka’s title as the “Kitchen of Japan.”
Peacock Alley at night
Peacock Alley – Refined All-Day Indulgence
A nod to the original New York classic, Peacock Alley in Osaka serves up artisanal pastries, a decadent afternoon tea, and elevated light bites by day, before transforming into a sleek evening spot for fine wines and cocktails. Highlights include lobster rolls, caviar-topped macarons, and mango-lychee gâteau, paired with champagne or their exclusive tea blend.
Canes & Tales – Speakeasy Chic with a Jazz Soul
Inspired by the glamour of the Jazz Age, this 47-seat cocktail bar channels speakeasy sophistication with storytelling-driven mixology. The debut menu draws from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Tales of the Jazz Age, with each cocktail capturing a different short story in drinkable form. Expect theatrics, table-side pours, and world-class concoctions.
Jolie Brasserie – French Classics with a Japanese Twist
Open all day, Jolie Brasserie offers classic French cuisine reimagined with local Japanese ingredients. Signature dishes such as Kyoto duck confit and Kumamoto wagyu steak frites are paired with a global wine list. The centrepiece? A stunning Molteni cooking suite that turns every meal into a culinary performance.

Tsukimi – Omakase Excellence Rooted in Tradition
The most intimate of the four, Tsukimi presents a minimalist, moon-viewing-inspired setting for an omakase journey rooted in traditional Japanese cuisine. Teppanyaki counters serve up aged Tajima Kuroge Wagyu, while curated tea ceremonies and sake tastings offer a deep dive into Japan’s rich food heritage. Wine and sake pairings enhance the experience, along with signature Japanese cocktails.
From elegant afternoon teas to theatrical omakase, Waldorf Astoria Osaka brings a truly global, yet deeply local, culinary experience to Japan’s gourmet capital. Whether you’re sipping a cocktail inspired by the roaring ’20s or indulging in a modern French feast, the hotel’s dining concepts promise to delight the palate and the senses.
