Kurt Zdesar’s Japanese-Peruvian restaurant brand Chotto Matte is continuing to push forward with international expansion having secured a site in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Set to launch next year, the new restaurant will open at the five star Central Park Towers Hotel lifestyle complex in the centre of Tbilisi.

The new opening will operate in partnership with Orbi Group and Block Group.

“We are hugely looking forward to launching Chotto Matte in such a flourishing destination with an eclectic food scene,” says Zdesar.

“Opening at The Central Park Towers is a unique opportunity to be part of the revolutionizing landscape of Georgia, with the location set to epitomize modern luxury, and set a new standard in both aesthetic and experience.

“This is a pivotal moment in our global brand expansion, and I’m excited to bring the bold, creative flavours of Nikkei cuisine to the rich history and entrepreneurial spirit of Georgia’s community.”

Chotto Matte, which is owned by Noble Hospitality Group, launched its first site in London back in 2013 and now operates two restaurants in the UK capital.

Early next year the group is set to open its first regional restaurant in Manchester.

The group also operates a growing international estate with sites in San Francisco, Miami and Toronto in North America; and Doha in the Middle East.

Further expansion in the Middle East is planned with openings in Riyadh and Dubai also slated.
