New signature menu appears in an all-inclusive buffet

Our approach to local production for local consumption, connections with local communities, and sustainable attitudes are packed with hotel initiatives and thoughts.
On April 1, 2026, the buffet restaurant Le Sensoriel began offering a new signature menu inspired by Food & Beverage's new CONCEPT Marche. In the word "Marche", which means "a place to carefully select seasonal ingredients", "the fun of discovery" that makes you want to stop inadvertently, the "excitement" of a live kitchen where you can finish dishes in front of you, and the unique "fresh experience" is packed. In the menu development, in addition to the local cuisine of Europe, which is the starting point of Marche culture, the growing interest in food diversity in recent years, we valued staying close to various eating habits and lifestyles, and enhanced the vegetarian menu. In addition, "Kids Corner" offers menus that are easy for children to eat so that guests with small children can come with peace of mind. New menus include "corn soup with popcorn" and "Teruriyaki salmon (breakfast only)".
