Chinese Manor House is a family run Cantonese restaurant at 2 Glasgow Road in Corstorphine, Edinburgh. It has served the local community since 2008, combining its family recipes with attentive table service in a warm dining room.
Traditional Cantonese techniques sit beside dishes refined for British tastes, creating a style the restaurant describes as British Chinese fusion. Signature choices include salt and chilli haggis, Szechuan Morning Glory chicken, Legacy Kung Po chicken, lime duck and braised aubergine.
The wider menu covers soups, spring rolls, ribs, fried rice, noodles, sweet and sour dishes, curries and seafood, with set dinners making group ordering straightforward. Vegetarian selections, dishes made without gluten containing ingredients and vegan options prepared on request broaden the choice.
A children's menu and private function room support family occasions and larger celebrations, while wine and other drinks accompany the full restaurant service. Guests with allergies must inform staff before ordering because the kitchen has no dedicated allergen free preparation area.
Address: 2 Glasgow Road, Corstorphine, Edinburgh EH12 8HL, Scotland

Spicy, Sweet Black Pepper Sauce
A mild spicy dish but rich in texture and bursting in flavour at the same time, a very indulgent dish. Choice of Chicken, Prawn, or Tofu (v).
Szechuan Hot Morning Glory
A fiery authentic Szechuan dish, served dry. (No sauce) Using succulent chicken thigh (not the breast), each piece of chicken has a slight crispy coating and is served with 3 types of sun-dried chilli for colour, aroma and the extra enhancement of spice (Dry chillies for garnish only, not intended to be eaten.) Choice of Chicken, Prawn, or Tofu (v).
Braised Stir-Fried Sliced Aubergine (v)
This dish is perfect to share as a starter for two or enjoyed as your Main Course dish. A unique vegetarian dish, cooked with sun-dried chilli. Served dry, with no sauce. The aubergine is sliced long, caramelised and double-braised, creating a spicy sweetness. With all these flavours rolled into the one dish, you can’t wait to tuck in!
