About this place
One diner who came for the crab compared hon-zuwai-gani and maruzuwai-gani, enjoying the differences between them. In their account, the hon-zuwai-gani had tender, sweet meat, while the maruzuwai-gani stood out for the firm texture of the meat in its thick legs and claws. The crab had also been cut in a way that made the meat easy to remove, making a side-by-side tasting a natural focus for the meal.
There is more to the buffet than crab: diners can also pair it with roast beef, salad and carpaccio. Another visitor singled out the roast beef, carved in front of them, along with the wide selection of desserts.
To finish, crab miso can be added to rice and enjoyed as ochazuke, a rice dish served with tea or broth. One diner said they savoured crab right to the end of the meal. Their account suggests that guests can choose not only how to compare the star ingredient, but also how to round off their meal. For those with a sweet tooth, one visitor praised the matcha terrine, while an afternoon tea review mentioned treats ranging from refreshing to rich. Buffet themes and selections vary over time, so check what is being served when booking if crab or sweets are the main draw.
Sky Restaurant Etoile is a buffet restaurant on the 17 floor of the hotel. Some diners have mentioned the views from the window-side seats, making it an option for a meal accompanied by a look out over the city.
