Dining options at the hotel include Yakimono, which serves traditional Japanese dishes including sushi and sashimi on the top floor of the hotel, overlooking the Red Sea. Makeda serves an array of Mediterranean salads, mezze, antipasti and desserts from the buffet, while grilled meats are served in the Buffalo Steak House.
