“I expect our wild smoked salmon, which I’m proud to say we smoke ourselves, with asparagus and a seaweed tartar; heritage carrot and confit duck dishes to become best sellers as they are real crowd pleasers.”
Proudly named after the Robata Grill, ROBA’s meat selection will include 48-day aged sirloin and rib eye steaks, organic lamb chops and corn-fed chicken from Scotland, and grilled prawns, which like all of their seafood, is from the UK.
It also boasts ‘the ultimate beef burger’ which contains a 21 day aged Aberdeen Angus mince, mustard, smoked paprika and home-made ketchup patty, served on brioche with pickled cucumber, smoked Cheddar and streaky bacon, to give London’s finest burger joints a run for their money.
Classics including fish and chips, chicken curry and seafood pie are also available and expected to be particularly popular with tourists as part of a menu which will change at least six times a year to reflect the changing seasons.
Bob Touray, General Manager, says of the launch: “It’s fair to say that Paddington’s gastronomic star is rising and we are very excited to be a part of it. A huge amount of thought and care has gone into every aspect of ROBA, and we are particularly proud of our sourcing: our head chef Andrea, our ingredients and interior design. The result is a fantastic menu, served in stylish yet relaxed surroundings which we know will appeal to those who live and work locally, as well as tourists”.
