Cross Hotel Sapporo's lunch buffet, available only on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, will be renewed in April 2024. With the concept of "SHEF'S SHOW STAGE, where creativity and curiosity spark," the buffet has become more entertaining. It is very popular and has a reputation for being hard to get reservations. Each dish is made with refined French techniques using mainly Hokkaido ingredients.
