SUCRE TO OPEN IN LONDON
03/06/2021
Chef Fernando Trocca, one of the biggest champions of contemporary Latin American cuisine, is set to put a spark into London's restaurant horizon with his first London opening. A reimagining of his successful Buenos Aires institution, Sucre will now be brought to a global stage.
Joining Trocca is his long time friend and partner Tato Giovannoni (founder of Florería Atlántico which sits at the top end of the World's 50 best bars) who will be heading up Abajo - a 75 cover cocktail bar and live music space housed downstairs.
Taking over a prestigious 310-year-old site in Soho, Japanese architect Noriyoshi Muramatsu is responsible for the interiors which will combine the building's heritage against striking industrial accents.
The open kitchen will play host to a dramatic fire place and wood oven, placing the chefs at centre stage. Trocca’s menu will combine old world flavours and modern ideas all through the lens of Latin American open-fire cooking craft. The a la carte might feature:
Tasters
Ox cheek quesadilla
Aged cheddar and onion empanada
Small Plates
Scallop tiradito, jalapeño, pomegranate White beans with morcilla and romesco
Veal tongue with salsa verde
Charcoal Fire
Hispi Cabbage with burnt onion and blue cheese Iberico pork matambre
