A new fusion restaurant blending Japanese and Brazilian cuisines is to take over the former site of the Artisan restaurant in Spinningfields. Called Sakku Samba, the new restaurant is set to open its doors in June.
It’s being launched by restaurateur Zack Isaak, who runs the Fleur Restaurant and Bar in Leeds - dubbed ‘Leeds’ most Instagrammable restaurant’ - and Casa Peri Peri in Wakefield. He also owns the chain of Estabulo Rodizio Bar & Grill restaurants, and will be adapting that concept along with his Sakku sushi restaurant, also in Leeds, for the new venture, in a first foray in Manchester.
The restaurant will span two floors, with downstairs being a cocktail bar and upstairs a dining room with enough room for 300 diners. There are also plans for a VIP room, and two separate private dining rooms.
