Level 5 Rooftop • Corner of Cathedral Square

Where East Meets
The French Riviera.

Perched atop KYND Hotel on Level 5, KYND Bar & Eatery (formerly Lounge 505) is a rooftop sanctuary where the artistry of modern Asian cuisine entwines with the elegance of French culinary tradition. We invite you to ascend above the city and surrender to an evening of sensory discovery.

Timeless and elegant in design yet approachable for all, our restaurant and outdoor dining balcony seats up to 45 guests year-round, making it the perfect setting for a pre-show drink and nibble from our shared plate menu or an intimate dinner.
