Dinner at The Dining - Edit
Really helpful, friendly & accommodating staff.

Beautifully presented food.
They went out of their way to make sure I could have a dessert - great experience.
Would give 5 stars if it was allowed.
Pros: Friendly , Helpful with menu options , Beautiful presentation

Interesting Set Menu - Edit
This hotel has three vegan set menus in the evenings that you can choose from - there are no vegan options before dinner. You can choose Japanese, Chinese, or western. We went for the Japanese menu, which had five courses.
Read moreThe appetizer was three small bites. The vegetable rice crackers were just like vegetable crisps, and were pleasant but unremarkable. The deep fried aubergine was nice, but suffered from being served cold, in our opinion. The yuba, served in a little glass, was slippery and fun.
The pureed seasonal vegetable soup was a bit bland and boring, despite the little pots of pepper and rice cracker to liven it up.
The biggest course came next, the yuba and mushroom hot pot. This was basically a big plate of different kinds of mushrooms, vegetables, and tofu skin that we cooked at the table in a pot of broth. The mushrooms were tasty, and I loved the texture of the yuba.
Three kinds of sushi came next - one with courgette, one with turnip, and one with red pepper. To be honest, they were not super flavourful, I've definitely had better. But it was nice to get some rice for something a bit more filling.
Finally, the dessert was rice cake in sweet red bean soup, and warabi rice cake. As long as you like that kind of gelatinous texture, this is a good dessert! The red beans were nice and sweet. The warabi had a great texture and a nice matcha flavour. This was a nice ending to the meal.
It wasn't mindblowing food, but we really enjoyed the yuba appetizer, hot pot, and dessert. It's always good to see more places adding vegan options to their menu, and this seems like a fairly ambitious entry point. Hopefully they'll make some tweaks to bring a bit more flavour as they find their feet. If you're dining with meat eaters or looking for somewhere a bit more spacious and quieter than a typical restaurant, this is a nice option. We reserved our table online in advance.
