About the restaurant

What is Lucky Cat Manchester?

Gordon Ramsay's Asian-inspired concept — rooted in the izakaya and robatayaki traditions of 1930s Tokyo — arrives in Manchester's Deansgate.

Lucky Cat was first opened by Gordon Ramsay Restaurants in Mayfair, London in 2019, where it quickly became one of the group's most popular concepts. The Manchester restaurant brings the same pan-Asian menu — centred on a robata charcoal grill, Japanese-influenced small plates and an ambitious cocktail list — to a purpose-designed space in Deansgate.

The menu draws from across East and South-East Asia with a Japanese sensibility running through everything: miso and dashi are foundational, robata grilling is the main cooking technique, and dishes like the Miso Black Cod and Wagyu skewers reflect both the Nobu-era Japanese fine dining tradition and the more casual izakaya style of eating and drinking.

The dishes that define Lucky Cat Manchester

These are the items the kitchen is proudest of and the ones regulars return for. On a first visit, anchor your order around at least two of these.

£38 · Most requested

Miso Black Cod

The restaurant's signature: black cod marinated in white miso for 48 hours before being robata-grilled. Sweet, lacquered, deeply savoury. Serves with pickled ginger and yuzu. This dish alone justifies the reservation.

£28 · Robata centrepiece

Wagyu Beef Skewers (3 pc)

Australian Wagyu beef cooked over the charcoal robata, finished with shichimi butter and yuzu kosho. The quality of the beef shows — order alongside a second robata item for a sharing meal that builds around the grill.

£22 · Signature roll

Lucky Cat Roll (8 pc)

Lobster and avocado inside, topped with tuna, salmon roe and truffle ponzu. The most technically accomplished sushi on the menu and worth the £22 if you're sharing.

£13 · Best bao

Pork Belly Bao (2 pc)

Braised pork belly, pickled daikon, spring onion and sriracha mayo in a fluffy steamed bun. The combination of fat-tender pork and sharp pickled daikon is textbook bao. Order two portions per person at a table.

£85 · For groups

Whole Roasted Duck

Cantonese-style whole roasted duck with pancakes, hoisin, cucumber and spring onion. Serves two to three people. Must be ordered 24 hours in advance — call or note it in the booking. The centrepiece of a sharing table.

£16 · House cocktail

Lucky Cat Cocktail

Vodka, yuzu, lychee, elderflower and prosecco — a fragrant, Japanese-inflected cocktail that's become the drink most associated with the brand. Light and approachable enough to start the evening with, interesting enough to order a second.
