A new Uzbecki restaurant will replace Spanish restaurant Fino at 33 Charlotte Street, W1.
The Hart Brothers has assigned the leasehold interest on the remainder of an existing 20-year lease, due to expire in September 2027, at a passing rent of £170,000 per annum.
A substantial premium was paid for the lease.
The new operators will open as Samarkand and offer traditional and contemporary Uzbecki fare.
Rob Meadows, director at Davis Coffer Lyons, said, “This deal goes to show that the market is strong for well-located but unusual and discreet spaces.”
The team behind Samarkand includes David Moore, owner of Michelin-starred restaurants Pied à Terre in Fitzrovia and L’Autre Pied in Marylebone, and known for his appearances on Masterchef: The Professionals.
Davis Coffer Lyons acted for The Hart Brothers.
