Nikkei

Daring to do something different is Nikkei, the restaurant that is fusing Japanese and Peruvian food and winning over countless diners whilst doing it.

Before we get to what this remarkable fusion looks like, let's start with the restaurant itself which is as unique as the food it offers. Boasting a wholesome handcrafted vibe, Nikkei is effortlessly intimate with hand-stitched visions of Japan displayed gracefully over the bar and a ceiling composed of different coloured threads, much like a loom. Add to that the understated, rustic seating that comes in limited quantities and you have a really special restaurant that always has something new to offer.

Delicately treading the line between these two very different cuisines, the menu delivers on all fronts. The menu focuses on sharing, serving up delicacies like ceviche, coming in with classic raw fish as well as a Caribbean edition with tiger's milk and fried plantain. The Jalea Mix is also worth your attention with a whole host of seafood blessed with a yuzu kosho mayo and criolla sauce.

Nigiri holds a special place in the heart of Japanese cuisine. At Nikkei, you can enjoy yours with wagyu and quail egg, raw white fish with a sweet eggplant miso or raw Hokkaido scallop and parmesan. How's that for something different? As for their sushi rolls, your evening's about to get a whole lot better with some surf and turf, crumbed prawn and salmon rolls. Toast a brilliant new find with a Sake Ale or Pisco Sour cocktail and clink glasses to the new cuisine you never thought you needed.
