A JAPANESE restaurant is set to open at a new £130 million residential and commercial development.

The Circus Street site in Brighton includes 142 affordable and private homes, 450 student accommodation bedrooms, 30,000sqft of office space and food, drink and shop units.

Later this year, Wolfox will open a Japanese restaurant called Fumi on the ground floor of The Office section of the development.

It will offer coffee and breakfast in the daytime before transforming into a fine dining Japanese restaurant in the evening.

Wolfox also runs plant-based Japanese restaurant Kusaki in New England Road, Brighton.

Fabio Lauro, Wolfox boss, said: “Our superb Japanese chef will be elaborating a mixed meat, vegetarian and vegan menu, creating something special and unique for this exciting new space.

“Despite the popularity of Japanese cuisine, there is not currently a fine dining experience on offer in the city and we are creating a place for people to enjoy special occasions and smart dinners, inspired by nature and seasonality, which will be a real treat for Japanese food lovers.”

The team is due to start fitting out the space next month, focusing on using sustainable products and local, seasonal ingredients where possible.
