Our Experience at Peter
Recently, two of my colleagues and I had the opportunity to have lunch at the Peter restaurant.
As soon as the elevator doors open, the simple yet elegant design captivates you, transporting you to a sophisticated world and leaving behind the noise of the city.
But the best is yet to come: as you walk through a small corridor and enter the main dining room, incredible views greet you. On the day we visited, it was sunny with a clear, blue sky—a perfect day for an amazing culinary experience.
For lunch, there are two menu options. The 3-course option includes an appetizer, a main course, and dessert for 6,900 yen, while the 4-course option includes the same with two appetizers instead of one, for 9,000 yen. In our case, we chose the 3-course menu.
For drinks, I recommend trying the house sparkling wine ‘The Peninsula Champagne Deutz Brut N.V’ crafted exclusively for Peninsula hotels worldwide. It has a smooth, easy-to-drink flavor that pairs the dishes perfectly. If you prefer a non-alcoholic option, Peter’s bartender has crafted a menu of mocktails that rival regular cocktails in flavor and refreshment.
