Koto Dining

Overview

Located in The Lobby building on King George Terrace, one of Canberra’s most prominent locations, KOTO is an integral part of the National Triangle’s new precinct, The Lawns of The Lobby. KOTO has been designed to protect the legacy of The Lobby building and continue the hospitality history in the 50-year-old Pavilion, including private dining. Traditional architecture and dramatic interiors by world-renowned company Odd Design. The KOTO design preserves and revitalizes the half-century-old, Japanese-heritage architecture of The Lobby, taking advantage of the strength and symmetry of the original plan. The juxtaposition of the materials expresses Japanese aesthetics, Wabi-Sabi, and the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The menu showcases a food style inspired by the kaiseki philosophy, one of the most prestigious dining experiences in Japan, following a deep-rooted set of guidelines including that your food must represent the area that surrounds you.
