Tattu Bar and Restaurant signs up to join Leeds city centre’s Bond Court development

Tattu Bar and Restaurant is set to open a brand new site at the Bond Court development in Leeds city centre.

Evans Property Group struck a 20-year lease agreement with Tattu Bar to open a 5,500 sq ft ground floor unit, providing 180 covers, with external seating beneath the Grade A Minerva office building.

The redevelopment of the two ground floor units forms part of Evans’ ongoing £25m investment programme which commenced with the extensive refurbishment of the Minerva and Capitol office buildings.

Work is currently underway on the 95 bed 5* Dakota Deluxe hotel which will open in Spring 2017.

The announcement follows recent news that Living Ventures’ Blackhouse Grill restaurant and bar has committed to Bond Court with a 25-year lease extension after Evans secured planning permission from Leeds City Council to create a new terrace and introduce elevation improvements and Bond Court public realm works amounting to around £1m.

Alan Syers, portfolio director at Evans Property Group, said: “The new restaurant has the right cosmopolitan feel to complement the new Dakota Deluxe hotel and will create a real sense of unity between East Parade, Bond Court and Greek Street.

“By opening up the outside space, we can further enhance the significant public realm works that form part of the new hotel scheme.

“We have worked closely with Leeds City Council throughout the process to ensure that the whole project seamlessly blends together and the result will be a new restaurant with outstanding internal fit-outs and strong customer appeal.”

Adam Jones, owner and managing director of Tattu, added: “This is a hugely exciting development for the Tattu brand. We’ve been looking at several sites across the north of England but have been patient in finding the right location for our second venue.

“The plans for the development of Bond Court are very impressive and Evans Property Group has provided a fantastic service throughout.

“We’re looking forward to getting on site in the new year and creating a venue we hope Leeds will be proud of.”
