Godfrey Hotel Boston Debuts New Peruvian-Asian Restaurant
The lively, mural-clad restaurant is accessible from the hotel's lobby, which houses a lounge bar, and the always-buzzing George Howell Coffee shop. With all three dining establishments, the luxury lifestyle hotel offers guests a variety of culinary and beverage options, making it one of Downtown Boston's top destinations.

Led by Executive Chef Preston Miller, formerly with The Breslin in New York City, RUKA's concept offers the city's first Nikkei (Peruvian-Japanese) and Chifa (Peruvian-Chinese) menu. Each dish embraces the exquisite presentations and bold flavors of Nikkei and Chifa cuisines while expressing the harmony of South America's dramatic landscapes and vibrant cities with organic design and dynamic service. In addition, the beverage program is designed to take guests on a journey. As the menu progresses, the options become more adventurous but each cocktail is crafted to accentuate the tastes of Peru and palates of the dishes.

The innovative new concept is the latest from the team that created Yvonne's and Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar. The unique menu offers a melting pot of options, including Fuego Wagyu featuring A5 Miyazaki Wagyu, beef bulgogi futomaki, scallion, and peppers, Crunchy Salmon Tacos with salmon ceviche, avocado, roasted tomatillo salsa, and pickled radish, Grilled Long Bone Short Rib served with shiso chimichurri, mixed radishes, and Okinawan sweet potato, Lima Style Fried Calamari with leche de tigre-garlic butter, red onion, chilies, and bonito, Chilled Oysters Chalaca, a selection of east coast oysters with salsa criolla, aji crema, and Peruvian black mint, and Eggplant Motoyaki, grilled eggplant dressed with miso mayo, okonomiyaki sauce, and sesame. The restaurant's dedicated sushi bar is spearheaded by Oishii Sushi Bar's Ting Yen and Bing Liu.
