Chotto Matte to open new Marleybone site this month

Chotto Matte will open its newest site in Marylebone on 20 May, expanding on its existing UK presence in Soho.

The restaurant group also has international sites in Miami and Toronto.

Chotto Matte has said its Marylebone location will provide a more “relaxed” hub, compared to the hustle of downtown Soho.

The new site will be designed by architect and long standing brand partner Andy Martin Architecture (AMA), with its design features inspired by Tokyo’s contemporary urban culture.

The Marylebone menu will include a range of new dishes drawing on classic Japanese themes. Additions include fatty tuna (O-Toro) and robatayaki salmon.

Chotto Matte’s founder, Kurt Zdesar, said: “We are delighted to continue our expansion plans for Chotto Matte. We cannot wait for the new phase of growth to allow more people to experience the very best of authentic innovative Nikkei cuisine in stylish architectural spaces across the globe.

“We are proud to expand our brand in such an elegant neighbourhood and bring the spirit of Chotto Matte to the Marylebone locals. We are confident the community will appreciate the brand and its values.”

Head chef, Begonya Sanchez, added: “I am so excited to bring the Chotto Matte experience to Marylebone and showcase my potential as their head chef. We are introducing a collection of brand new premium dishes for the launch, combining the essence of Chotto Matte with an elevated dining experience.”
