I went to Manchester's Trafford Centre to visit the Alice in Wonderland food experience and it was amazing
If you’re wondering what to do or more specifically, what to eat this Easter break with your children, then you should certainly check out the Alice in Wonderland experience in Nichi.


As soon as I entered I was invited down the rabbit hole themed entrance adorned with tea cups and playing cards inside the beautiful restaurant.

Upon entering I was greeted by the General Manger Ajai Sharma would couldn’t have been more attentive during my time. The set menu for the experience is more suited for meat-eaters but at £25 per person you can enjoy flowering tea, Chicken Kaarage slider, egg sliders, salmon and tuna hand roll, prawn tempura roll, mochi ice cream, pandan cake and Madagascan ice cream.
These tasty tiered treats look like a dream and are a lovely new twist on the classic afternoon tea.
Head chef at Nichi, Kentaro Yanagisawa who has previously worked at Sexyfish and Nobu said; “We wanted to entertain people and its designs looks like an English tea ceremony but with a lot of Japanese food. Also in the Trafford Centre we have to nicely accommodate kids and choose things that kids would like.”


The kids ‘Eat me, Drink me’ menu included sticky chicken teriyaki muddled with savoury umami udon noodles, torched salmon nigiri, chicken wings and nori dusted chips along with a choice of fruit juice.

As a vegetarian, I had food specially made which included: vegetable gyozas, amazonia sushi and a plain cucumber role as well as an assortment of fresh vegetables.
The food at Nichi is top quality with its fresh produce bought from their London suppliers.
If you want a magical experience and beautiful food head down to Nichi for your wonderland experience.
