An Inspired Fusion of Japanese and Mexican at The Edwardian Manchester
Nestled in the heart of Manchester’s bustling Peter Street, Peter Street Kitchen at The Edwardian Manchester, a Radisson Collection Hotel, brings an electrifying fusion of Japanese and Mexican flavours to the city’s luxury dining scene.
With floor-to-ceiling windows that offer chic views of Rudy’s and Albert’s Schloss, this award-winning restaurant boasts a sleek, modern aesthetic: soaring ceilings, pendant lighting, elegant marble tables, and tasteful wood accents, all served up by impeccably dressed waiting staff who introduce guests to the restaurant’s signature cocktails and exquisite menus with quiet expertise.
The concept? A unique “fusion” of two globally celebrated cuisines, each represented by distinct menus that invite you to mix and match, creating a meal that’s as diverse as it is delicious. The experience is designed to encourage culinary exploration, all paired with premium wines, sakes, and handcrafted cocktails. Following our server’s recommendation of six plates per couple, we took our time – cocktails in hand – contemplating the tempting array of dishes. The dining experience is dynamic, with dishes arriving as soon as they’re ready, in no set order, each one a burst of artistry and flavour.
Our culinary adventure began with Grilled Lobster Tacos adorned with chilli and cilantro (£18), a dish that quickly became a favourite. The procession continued with Crispy Filo King Prawns dipped in wasabi mayo (£16), delicately fried Prawn Tempura in ama ponzu (£16), and the exquisite Black Cod served with a spicy green chilli shiso salsa (£45) – a hearty portion we couldn’t resist finishing. The Stone Bass seasoned with Andean chilli lime sea salt (£24), skewered Beef Tenderloin cooked on a hot lava stone with habanero and jalapeño salts (£32), Roasted Corn with salted chilli and lime (£8), and a Chargrilled Cabbage Steak laced with jalapeño truffle butter (£12) rounded out our selection, each plate a distinctive twist on tradition. We enjoyed it all with a crisp bottle of Nyetimber Classic Cuvée Brut NV (£80), adding a celebratory touch.
Beyond the main dining area, Peter Street Kitchen offers special experiences for those looking to elevate their evening. The Hibachi Experience, with its fiery ambience, is perfect for semi-private gatherings of up to 12, while the curated Omakase tasting menu provides an intimate, chef-driven exploration of the restaurant’s signature style across six unforgettable courses.
Peter Street Kitchen’s acclaim is well-deserved; recently voted ‘Best Culinary Experience’ by the British Restaurant Awards 2024, they continue to captivate Manchester’s dining scene, following previous wins in 2022 and 2019.
Luxurious, lively, and utterly delicious, Peter Street Kitchen delivers a dining experience that feels both exclusive and unforgettable. It’s an indulgence that’s well worth every penny – just don’t look at the calories!
