Opening date revealed for Harrogate's new Japanese-Brazilian restaurant

NIPO is bringing Brazilian and Japanese cuisine to Harrogate.

NIPO will open on Harrogate’s Parliament Street on Thursday 3rd December.

The team behind RIO Brazilian Steakhouse is investing almost £500,000 in the restaurant, which will create more than 30 jobs.

Invited guests will attend a launch on Wednesday 2 December, the day before it opens to the public.

NIPO takes its name from Nipo-Brasileiro, meaning Japanese-Brazilian. The team first introduced the restaurant in Newcastle.

The Harrogate menu will feature freshly prepared sushi alongside steaks cooked over an open flame.

Cuts will include Wagyu, fillet and ribeye, as well as a côte de bœuf dry-aged in-house and served for sharing.

Rodrigo Grassi Duarte, co-founder of NIPO, said:

“Harrogate is an exciting next step for us, and we're looking forward to introducing the concept to a new audience, whether they're joining us for lunch, a special evening out or a memorable celebration.”

A Christmas menu will be available in December, with dishes including a duck roll with cranberry hoisin and orange-miso glaze, miso-glazed black cod and a yuzu pistachio panna cotta.

The restaurant will also have a glass-enclosed private dining room and bar upstairs.
