Dinner followed by a case to solve
The story began with an invitation linked to events at Belle Vue a year earlier. Four people and a detective were brought together, and the guests’ task was to connect what happened in front of them with the earlier incident. It was a live, dialogue-led format, with performers embodying the people under suspicion. The operator presented the story as self-contained, so knowledge of the previous edition was not required.

The dining room has tall windows overlooking the resort’s slopes, pale panelling and cloth-covered tables. Small brass-coloured table lamps and upholstered chairs make the window seats a distinctively hotel-restaurant setting. The illustration shows that documented corner of the room, rather than inventing a permanent theatre stage. Belle Vue also appears in the resort’s music programme, but those performances are separate from the mystery production. Operator’s photographs and music feature
What was served
The 2026 adult menu included roast beef salad, smoked salmon and scallop preparations, chilled potato soup, and roasted Rusutsu pork with summer vegetables. Chocolate fondant, bread and coffee or tea completed the course; children had a separate menu. Season menu
Outside that event, the restaurant’s regular offer centres on steak and seafood, including T-bone steak and seafood platters. An ordinary Belle Vue reservation should therefore not be treated as a booking for an interactive mystery. Restaurant
