In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Scarlet & Violet arc
The Kofu Lounge was first mentioned in PASV19 when Violet mentioned that he would visit the place every week with his rich parents before starting his journey, not being aware that it was much harder for regular people to get a reservation there.
The Kofu Lounge appeared in PASV23, where Violet and Arven attempted to go eat there while stopping by at Cascarrafa, only to find out that it was closed due to Kofu having gone to search for a missing worker from Medali's Treasure Eatery in the Asado Desert. Since they were planning to head to the desert anyway to fight the Quaking Earth Titan, Violet and Arven departed to search for the missing people right away.
