This event will temporarily open the restaurant, which normally operates only during lunchtime, for dinner service. It aims to create demand for nighttime dining during the summer and offer a new weekend evening experience for local customers. With a "Southern European" theme, guests can enjoy an elegant time with dishes reminiscent of resort destinations, such as "Mussels Marinière," "Pizza Margherita," and "Gazpacho with Capellini."
The main dish is a prix fixe style where guests can choose one out of four options. Additionally, appetizers, hot dishes, and desserts are available in a buffet format, allowing guests to enjoy as much as they like. It is recommended not only for family meals during the summer vacation season but also for girls' nights out, dates for couples, and for those who want to "experience a travel mood nearby."
■ Background of Implementation
While demand for travel to distant locations is increasing, the persistent extreme heat is also driving a growing need to "enjoy the extraordinary close to home." Therefore, Kawagoe Prince Hotel will open its buffet restaurant, which does not normally offer dinner service, for a limited time in the evening. They aim to propose a new way for local customers to spend their summer by offering a high-quality hotel space and cuisine that evokes a sense of travel.
