Modern Chinese restaurant group Tattu has signed for a 13,200 sq ft floating restaurant at Canary Wharf on a 15-year lease.
The group intends to open its second London restaurant at 5 Water Street in the winter. Led by Studio WYZE, the restaurant’s design draws inspiration from the historic floating restaurants of China and will feature a striking exterior of glowing lanterns and neon signage that reflects across the water.
The restaurant will comprise a double-height Grand Hall serving as the primary dining area, the Red Dragon cocktail bar with the Black Dragon mezzanine dining space located above, in addition to the Azure Dragon private dining room.
Stuart Fyfe, managing director for retail, leisure and hospitality at Canary Wharf Group, said: “Tattu, owned by Permanently Unique are a hugely sought after brand internationally, who continue to make a statement wherever they open. Permanently Unique choosing Canary Wharf for their third London restaurant is a real statement of confidence in what we’ve built here.
“This is a brand that could have gone anywhere in London, and they chose here. Canary Wharf is fast becoming one of the most exciting dining and leisure destinations in London with more than 80 cafes, bars, and restaurants catering for visitors, workers and residents and we’re excited to see Tattu open later this year.”
