Japanese and Brazilian fusion restaurant Sushisamba will be opening a branch in Covent Garden where it has secured space at Capital & Counties’ Opera Terrace, WC2.
The Opera Terrace, located at the top of the Grade II listed Market Building, comprises 9,000 sq ft.
The site will be renovated to replace the existing conservatory with a new Eric Parry design.
Sushisamba is expected to open in 2017 and will join a number of independent restaurants already on the estate, including LIMA Floral, The Ivy Market Grill, Balthazar and Ladurée.
Shimon Bokovza, managing partner and CEO of Samba Brands Management, commented: “The energy of Covent Garden and its international appeal make it a natural fit for Sushisamba’s second London location. We look forward to unveiling our cutting-edge plans and are honoured to join the growing list of pedigree brands that make up Covent Garden’s iconic estate.”
Sarah-Jane Curtis, director of Capco Covent Garden, commented: “Our strategy at Covent Garden is focused on providing a world-class retail and dining environment for our visitors. Covent Garden’s Opera Terrace is a premier location and a prominent dining pitch in London. We are delighted that Sushisamba will bring its creative blend of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisine to the estate.”
