I enjoyed breakfast at around 6:50am on a weekday at Dining & Bar LAVAROCK on the 3rd floor of the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, located right next to JR Shin-Osaka Station.
This restaurant is near Shin-Osaka Station, and even non-guests can enjoy the breakfast buffet (all-you-can-eat breakfast) from 6am to 10am for 3,900 yen including tax, which is great.
Reservations are not accepted, so you can use it freely without making a reservation.
The restaurant is very bright, spacious, and clean, with about 100 seats. You can choose your seat at any time, and I chose a seat by the window at the back of the restaurant.
There are newspapers such as the Nikkei newspaper near the entrance, so you can read them freely.
The restaurant was playing quiet, calming Western music in the background.
As for food, salads, bread, fruit, Japanese food, and drinks, you can eat and drink as much as you like. The following were ordered at the table, and were also all-you-can-eat.
<Egg dishes>
・Osaka rolled omelette
・Omelette or scrambled eggs (choose from ham, bacon, chicken, mushrooms, herbs, spinach, tomato, jalapeno, onion, emmental, red cheddar, or feta cheese)
