Business for Sale Overview:
Formerly a wine bar, but operating in its current format for just over a year, this is a rare find within the restaurant sector – a Caribbean restaurant rooted in fine dining. Masterfully blending Caribbean, European and Asian cuisine, this business has taken the undoubted demand there is for Caribbean food within its catchment area and elevated it to culinary heights rarely found outside the West Indies.
Situated just off the main road of one of South London’s most up and coming areas, this is a very well designed concept with all elements carefully combined to recreate an authentic Caribbean fine dining experience – from the typically warm and very friendly welcome from staff right through to the ‘beach-shack’ style restaurant design, marrying very attractive light oak flooring, leather backed chairs and tables adorned with crisp, cotton napkins with bamboo which dominates both the walls and ceiling. Beautifully painted, tasteful murals of Caribbean sunsets together with very atmospheric, low lighting and soft reggae background music all go towards giving the place some real authenticity.

Market Competition and Expansion:
