Modern Chinese restaurant Tattu will officially open its doors on Friday 1st<\/sup>\u00a0February 2019 in Birmingham city centre.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In what will be the restaurant group\u2019s third site and largest fit-out to date, the 160-cover, split-level restaurant will occupy a\u00a0charming\u00a0space within the city\u2019s historic Grand development with a design concept that takes inspiration from the ancient Chinese philosophy of Yin Yang.<\/p>\n

The restaurant will serve its renowned Chinese-inspired cuisine, taking traditional ingredients and classic flavours, combined with innovative ideas and cooking techniques. The result is a distinctive and contemporary take on the much-loved style of food, with moreish dim sum and delicious seasonal sharing plates that encourage an interactive dining experience.<\/p>\n

Guests will be greeted on the ground floor where the\u00a0bar area and private dining room spaces represent the Yang element. This area introduces a new design to Tattu\u2019s collection with light, masculine and fiery details. Reflective gold finishes and temple-like rock create a warm and engaging space perfect for enjoying a cocktail or two before or after dining.<\/p>\n

Downstairs, the main restaurant reflects the elements of Yin with a dark, feminine and immersive space featuring oriental fretwork, imported precious rock and Tattu\u2019s signature blossom trees.<\/p>\n

Adam Jones, managing director and co-owner of Tattu, explains: \u00a0\u201cAs we approached the design process for the\u00a0restaurant, we knew the concept\u00a0would need to fit with the character of the heritage space while also\u00a0reflecting the contemporary look and feel of Tattu\u2019s interior\u00a0design and modern\u00a0Chinese cuisine. As we explored the\u00a0Chinese philosophy\u00a0of\u00a0Yin Yang – when two\u00a0seemingly opposite forces can\u00a0actually be\u00a0complementary to\u00a0each other – we knew this was a concept that would work perfectly within the unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with the space, we decided to use properties of Yang on the ground floor to\u00a0introduce a new design to Tattu\u2019s collection that\u2019s completely unique to\u00a0Birmingham.\u00a0The walls are constructed from travertine rock \u2013 a hard, masculine\u00a0surface\u00a0imported from Hong Kong. The tactile nature of the surface reflects the warm light, creating shadows within the space and contrasting the silk-like Calacatta marble that is used across the floor and bar.”<\/p>\n

Diners can look forward to a selection of Tattu\u2019s signature dishes such as Beef Fillet and Caramel Soy and the delicate Saffron Black Cod. New menu additions include\u00a0Chilli and Sesame Roasted Scallops served with Chinese sausage, crushed edamame and mint, as well as an Asian Pear Crumble with green apple, almond and a pink custard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Adam continues: “The main lower-ground dining space seats up to 130 guests\u00a0who will overlook our first open kitchen which has been created to service our team of talented chefs, from the dim sum masters\u00a0through to the wok chefs.\u00a0The main\u00a0dining\u00a0area has been carefully sectioned by fretwork to create several different dining spaces, so we can ensure guests a unique experience each time they visit. We have incorporated more booth-style tables, as Chinese food is all about the concept of sharing and we want guests in\u00a0Birmingham to\u00a0embrace this when they visit. The\u00a0response we\u2019ve received from the public has been overwhelming, we feel at home in\u00a0Birmingham already and look\u00a0forward to opening\u00a0our doors on 1st February.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tattu is located in The Grand development on Barwick Street. For more information please visit\u00a0www.tattu.co.uk\/birmingham<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
