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.
Never Miss a Retail Update!“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.
