The answer depends on your budget, time and travel style; the breakdown below shows who gets the most value.
Why
- 01
Half the fun is the speakeasy-style entrance — into the hotel's back courtyard, ring an unmarked bell, past a chandelier, up to an industrial-chic loft.
- 02
The food earned a Michelin star making the serious case that vegetarian cooking belongs at the very top end.

The plates that decide it
- The Parmesan dumplings — the long-running signature dish people come back for
- The five-to-seven-course vegetarian set menu — the dishes are built as a sequence — take the full menu
- Coming only for a drink — the room is best experienced over the full menu, not as a quick stop
Plan it well
- Cost
- Upper-mid to high-end; multi-course vegetarian menu
- Allow
- 2–3 hours
