A planning application has now been validated by the City of Edinburgh Council for the applicant, James Gould-Porter, to erect the Island Poke signage on the exterior of the property.
As luck would have it, Island Poke's trademark blue décor fits is the same as the previous two tenants have sided with, meaning there is not a huge deal of work planned for the building.
The listing is currently under offer on the Savills website, meaning a change of use could be set in stone. Island Poke recently opened their 15th venue in London, with most of their dishes based around fresh fish and vegetables.
Island Poke also went international opening their first restaurant in France in 2020.
