Mercure Kyoto Station: Floral Garden Afternoon Tea Inspired by Blooming Gardens Available for a Limited 2 Months Starting May 1!

TRATTORIA M KYOTO, a restaurant located inside Mercure Kyoto Station (288 Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture; General Manager: Tomoaki Sato), will offer a 'Floral Garden Afternoon Tea' inspired by seasonal flowers for a limited time from Monday, May 1, 2026, to Tuesday, June 30, 2026.

Flowers representing the fresh green and rainy seasons, such as hydrangeas and peonies. We will deliver a variety of visually gorgeous sweets and savories inspired by the gardens where these flowers breathe.

We have prepared a lineup that allows you to enjoy the feeling of the season, including a panna cotta expressing hydrangeas with the vivid purple of butterfly pea, and 'Cassata', a refreshing Italian sweet perfect for the hot and humid season.

For savories, a highly creative menu unique to an Italian restaurant will be lined up, such as a green salad expressing a sprouting green garden using vegetables from Nara Prefecture, and farfalle (bow-tie pasta) expressing butterflies dancing in the garden.

Please enjoy a high-quality, relaxing time in a spacious, photogenic hotel restaurant, whether chatting with loved ones or treating yourself.

- Hydrangea Panna Cotta
- Garden-style salad with beets and Terada Farm vegetables

Menu Details:

Cassata with dried fruits and almonds:
Served on a separate plate, the 'Cassata with dried fruits and almonds' is an exquisite harmony of creamy cheese and the sweet and sour taste of dried fruits. Its refreshing sweetness, similar to a rare cheesecake, is its charm.

Raisin and ricotta cheese ice cream:
The 'Raisin and ricotta cheese ice cream' is a dish where you can enjoy the sweet and sour taste of raisins and the richness of cheese in one bite. It features a refreshing aftertaste that is delightful during the humid season.

Scones:
Scones are prepared with a matcha flavor inspired by the green of the garden. You can enjoy the elegant matcha scent typical of Kyoto along with clotted cream enriched with cheese and honey.

In addition to these, we have an assortment of sweets that will make you want to reach out for them, such as a deeply flavored 'Madeleine' and a 'Pistachio Macaron' inspired by the garden's greenery.

One of the charms of the afternoon tea at Mercure Kyoto Station is the wide variety of savories available.

The gorgeous 'Flower Roll' adorned with seasonal flowers is a dish where you can enjoy a sweet and salty taste, adding the texture of walnuts and the refreshing flavor of marmalade as an accent to the saltiness of prosciutto and the richness of mascarpone cheese.

The 'Edamame mousse and cheese sable topped with prosciutto' is finished with a deep flavor where the faint sweetness and umami of edamame overlap with the richness and saltiness of cheese.

The hearty 'Marinated chicken breast and tomato sandwich' features a refreshing but satisfying bite, accented by the acidity of the tomato and an herb-infused sauce.

Furthermore, we offer an abundance of bite-sized, easy-to-eat savories, such as the 'Spinach and bacon quiche' and the heartwarming 'Potato potage'. The structure is designed to satisfy you not only for cafe use but also as a meal.
