Across 29 on-topic guest reviews (primarily TripAdvisor, with limited Booking and Google coverage), the hotel demonstrates robust vegan-friendly offerings including dedicated vegan menus, vegan degustation experiences, vegan sushi, plant-based buffet sections, and specialized dishes like Indian vegan meals. Multiple guests highlight chef attentiveness and exceptional culinary execution. However, mixed signals emerge: three negative reviews note limited buffet vegan options despite expectations, including one report of high-cost-restricted vegan access, and one incident of mistaken dairy service. The hotel does not market these offerings based on available signals.

Breakfast at Canneli was endless - fresh juices, freshly baked goods, omelette, pancakes, crepes, fresh charcuterie, a real honey comb, and then plenty of vegan/vegetarian options.
Had the best vegan food
The vegan degustation is the best we have ever eaten
the dishes we were served were excellent with the "vegan" sushi a standout for me as I'm not a big raw fish fan.
As an all plant based eater, they took great care of me, and I had some incredible grilled and marinated tofu dishes. Hats off to the chef who really looked after me. I was delighted to see Vegan croissants, and plenty of gluten-free options.
More vegan food options please. Was served dairy when allergic to dairy so it ruined stomach. Be more careful about not serving dairy to vegans and have more vegan options in buffet
L'esperienza della cena con menù vegano nel ristorante 5.8 è stata emozionante
Over the six nights we ate there perhaps 8-10 times and never ran out of fantastic choices (though I noticed that vegetarians / vegans would have not found many choices).
I am somewhat of a pescatarian and wife a vegan – and we had never even had a Michelin star restaurant satisfy our appétit and these guys rocked it. There was a day that Chef Harshal went to the other property of the Group but left instructions with the staff to take care to make a Indian vegan diet for my wife
we especially appreciated how well they accommodated vegan dietary needs
Food and beverages were great. Very vegan-friendly too.
Food variety at Conelli was good as vegans.

The Canelli restaurant (buffet) is high quality, variety of food, well cooced, vegan, celiac options, live cooking...
The buffets were the only place vegan options were and they cost $47 per person...for lunch! ($80 per person for dinner) There was not one vegan or vegan by request menu item in any of the restaurants.
There's variety, all kinds of cuisines, a vegan buffet, healthy options, great desserts.
so many tasty vegan options in the buffet and al-a-carte restaurants
Unfortunately there was only 1 or two items on the buffet for vegans.. This was extremely disappointing
Though we all are vegetarian their vegan Menu was too good to miss
plant-based vegan options for food
My husband is vegan and loved being able to experience a 5 course vegan menu
some amazing cocktails and vegan options (since my wife and I are both vegetarians, we had to go for those options)
there is a good range of gluten free options as well as vegan/vegetarian all food was amazing
So much variety, so tasty, healthy and junk food options, local cuisine and vegan choices
At JFK the GF britticosa pizza is really tasty and my partner who can eat everything ended up sharing one with me for lunch everyday with the Vegan Salad there.
