Contemporary Chinese restaurant Tattu is to debut in Scotland, after signing a 20-year lease to open in Edinburgh at Chris Stewart Group’s development The Registers.
The space, which measures 4,680 sq ft, covers ground and basement levels at The Mint Building, which is part of the £85m mixed-use development.
Family-owned Tattu plans to open the restaurant in late spring 2019.
Edinburgh will be its fourth location in the UK, alongside development of its third site in Birmingham’s Colmore Row later this year and existing restaurants in Manchester and Leeds.
Adam Jones, managing director of Tattu Restaurants, said: “Completing on our fourth site marks the start of an exciting period of growth for Tattu. Location is key for us, and as an independent business we have made a point of being rigorous in our approach to site location to ensure that each restaurant offers guests an entirely unique design aesthetic and dining experience.
“Edinburgh is a fascinating city steeped in heritage and culture with a thriving dining scene that’s attracting some of the most exciting operators in the UK.”
The Mint Building, which is currently under construction, is expected to complete in spring 2019. It will additionally offer 65,000 sq ft of grade-A office space.
It is adjacent to the former Royal Bank of Scotland headquarters at 42 St Andrew Square, which Chris Stewart Group acquired in summer 2014.
Savills advised Chris Stewart Group on the letting.
