IKEA opens its first standalone restaurant on a UK high street
The IKEA home and furniture retailer has opened its first standalone restaurant on a UK high street in London’s Hammersmith.
Previously housing a Wasabi restaurant, the site on King Street can seat 75 diners who can enjoy a range of dishes such as Swedish meat or plant balls served with mashed potato, fish and chips, pasta with a tomato and basil sauce, and salmon and cous cous.
The restaurant will also serve small and regular sized cooked breakfasts priced at £2.75 and £3.75 respectively.
Matthew Gould, market manager at IKEA London City, said: “We know how much our customers love the IKEA restaurant and we’re excited to celebrate the opening of our very first high street restaurant.
“Fans of our delicious dishes can recharge during their shopping trip with our famous Swedish meatballs, pop in for a traditional Swedish ‘fika’ break for coffee and a sweet treat, or find an affordable meal for the kids right on the high street.”
Until 30 November, IKEA’s Hammersmith store is offering IKEA Family Members £5 off in store when spending £5 or more at the restaurant on the same day.
