Matou Pan Asian Restaurant

Matou Pan Asian Restaurant occupies the second floor of the Mersey Ferry Terminal on George Parade, Pier Head, Seacombe. Set beside the River Mersey, the restaurant and bar combines waterfront dining with views across to Liverpool, creating a setting that works for food, drinks and time spent watching the river.

The menu brings together flavours from Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Japan and China, with fusion dishes adding a broader contemporary Pan Asian approach. The range makes Matou suitable for different types of visit, from a relaxed lunch to an evening à la carte meal or drinks at sunset. Diners travelling from Manchester can pair a visit with time around the Pier Head and the Mersey waterfront.

Matou’s style is centred on a restaurant-and-bar format rather than a single national cuisine. Familiar East and Southeast Asian influences sit alongside Japanese and Chinese elements, while the drinks list includes hand-crafted cocktails. The result is a flexible option for visitors looking for a meal with a waterfront backdrop, as well as for those planning a shorter stop for drinks.

A terrace provides outdoor seating when alfresco dining suits the occasion. It gives the venue an alternative to the main indoor setting and makes the restaurant relevant across different parts of the day. The combination of river views, cocktails and a terrace lends itself particularly well to sunset visits, while the lunch and evening menus provide a fuller dining option.

Located at Liverpool’s Pier Head, Matou is easy to identify within the Mersey Ferry Terminal complex. Its Seacombe address places it on the opposite side of the river from Liverpool city centre, with the waterfront forming the main part of the setting. The venue’s broad Pan Asian menu and bar offering make it a useful choice for diners seeking an Asian-inspired meal without limiting the occasion to one style of dining.
