P&O Arvia: Green & Co feat. Mizuhana Restaurant Review & Guide
If you are stepping onboard P&O Cruises' Arvia, you are spoiled for choice when it comes to dining. However, there is one venue tucked away on Deck 8 that completely subverts the traditional cruise dining experience: Green & Co feat. Mizuhana.
Originally launched as an exclusively plant-based and sushi venue, this restaurant has undergone a major 2026 menu refresh [search]. P&O Cruises listened to guest feedback and expanded the menu to include delicious Asian meat options, making it a fantastic specialty choice for mixed-diet couples and families alike.
Here is everything you need to know about Green & Co, from the current menu choices and pricing to our honest review of whether it deserves a spot on your cruise itinerary.
Green & Co At-A-Glance
Don't have time to read the full guide? Here is the quick-fire lowdown on everything you need to know:
Location: Deck 8 Midships (P&O Arvia only).
Vibe: Calm, contemporary, and uncrowded. It is Arvia's best-kept dining secret.
Price Point: £9.95 for a 3-course fixed menu (incredible value for specialty dining).
Food Style: Inventive plant-based small plates meets premium Asian fusion and fresh sushi.
Best For: Mixed-diet couples, sushi lovers, and anyone wanting a quiet, budget-friendly date night away from the main dining rooms.
Top Tip: Don't skip the Chakalaka Wellington on the plant-based menu, even if you are a dedicated meat-eater!
The Vibe and Concept
Located on Deck 8 Midships (right next to the bustling 6th Street Diner), Green & Co splits into two distinct but harmonious concepts:
Green & Co: Focuses on inventive, modern plant-based and vegan small plates.
Mizuhana: A sleek, open-fronted sushi bar where you can watch the chefs expertly hand-roll fresh sushi, sashimi, and nigiri.
The décor is light, contemporary, and incredibly tranquil. Because many cruisers wrongly assume the venue is only for strict vegans, it remains one of Arvia's best-kept dining secrets. It rarely suffers from the chaotic, crowded atmosphere found in other venues, making it the absolute perfect spot for a relaxed, upscale date night.
How Does the Pricing Work?
Unlike venues like Sindhu or The Epicurean which charge a flat, fixed cover charge, Green & Co operates on an à la carte pricing structure.
You only pay for what you order. Prices for individual dishes are incredibly reasonable, with small plates starting from around £2.50 to £4.50, and larger main dishes sitting between £6.00 and £9.00. On average, a filling three-course meal will cost around £12 to £15 per person, making it one of the most budget-friendly specialty restaurants on the entire ship.
The Menu: Plant-Led & The 2026 Meat Additions
The menu has been beautifully streamlined into a fixed-price concept, offering 3 courses for just £9.95 (though items can still be purchased individually à la carte).

The waiting staff recommend ordering a mix of dishes to get a full tasting experience. Here is exactly what you can expect on the current menu:
🥬 Green & Co (Plant-Led Small Plates)
For vegetarians and vegans, the plant-based menu is a masterclass in flavour, utilising creative ingredients rather than boring substitutes. Forget boring side salads; these dishes are inventive and beautifully presented.
Chakalaka Wellington: A rich, spiced South African-inspired bean and pulse filling wrapped in golden pastry. (Retained from the launch menu due to popular demand!)
Chili Jatis: A hearty chili made of mixed beans, topped with a creamy cashew-nut cheese sauce and fresh guacamole.
Hot and Sour Dashi Ramen: Golden, silky noodles served in a rich, tangy broth topped with fresh Asian greens.
Spiced Hargo: A unique, flavourful mock-lamb wrap utilising plant-based meat substitutes and aromatic spices.
Chilled Watermelon Sashimi: A mind-blowing starter where the texture of watermelon mimics premium tuna perfectly.
Crispy Fried Tofu Tacos: Packed with fresh slaw and a punchy chipotle mayo.
Jackfruit Rendang: A rich, aromatic, and deeply spiced curry that rivals anything found in the main dining rooms.
🍣 Mizuhana (The New Asian & Sushi Selection)
To broaden the restaurant's appeal, P&O successfully integrated high-quality meat items onto the Mizuhana side of the menu. If you are travelling with a partner who is hesitant about a plant-based meal, these additions are a total game-changer:
Singapore Noodles with Chicken: A classic stir-fried vermicelli noodle dish tossed with tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and a mild curry spice blend.
Slow-Cooked Beef Rendang Curry: Meltingly tender beef simmered in a thick, deeply fragrant coconut, lemongrass, and ginger sauce. (my personal favourite)
Bang Bang Chicken Skewers: Tender chicken grilled to perfection and drizzled with a spicy peanut satay sauce.
Crispy Pork Belly Gyoza: Perfectly pan-seared dumplings served with a sweet soy dipping sauce.
Bang Bang Chicken Salad: Crisp, shredded vegetables and grilled chicken skewers drizzled with a fiery peanut satay dressing.
Assorted Steamed Dim Sum: A basket of premium steamed dumplings featuring a mix of pork, prawn, and duck fillings.
Fresh Maki & Nigiri Roster: Hand-rolled spicy tuna maki, crunchy prawn tempura rolls, and vegetarian avocado California rolls
The menu is designed for sharing, and the waiting staff recommend ordering 3 to 4 dishes per person to get a full tasting experience.
🍣 The Mizuhana Sushi Roster
The sushi here is arguably the freshest onboard any UK cruise ship. Standout items include:
The Arvia Roll: A signature inside-out roll featuring crispy prawn tempura, avocado, and spicy mayo.
Spicy Tuna Maki: Fresh, fiery, and beautifully rolled.
Vegetarian California Rolls: Utilizing crisp cucumber, pickled radish, and avocado.

Is Green & Co Worth It?
