The Restaurant Trishna is a contemporary Indian restaurant with a focus on coastal cuisine from south west India. The wine list is constantly evolving, representing extraordinary examples from classic and emerging regions, each selected to pair with the diverse range of flavours found in the food.

Within the basement is a private dining room in informal and discrete surroundings with the wine cellar setting the backdrop.
Trishna has held a Michelin star since 2012, following the award of a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2011.
