What is there to eat at Montcalm East?

You aren’t short of choices for restaurants and bars nearby, but the hotel’s Moor & Mead is the best option for a dinner without leaving the hotel.

It has a taste of everything including sourdough pizzas and steaks, although my favourite was the vegetarian gnocchi with whipped goats cheese.
