    NIPO is set to be based in the former Piccolino unit on Parliament Street.

    An opening date has been revealed for a new Japanese-Brazlian restaurant in Harrogate.

    NIPO is set to open its doors on Parliament Street on December 3.

    The restaurant will open in the former Piccolino site, which had previously been earmarked for a Tomahawk Steakhouse.

    NIPO offers steaks, Wagyu and other Japanese-inspired dishes and has been created by RIO Brazilian Steakhouse.

    It said the opening will represent a £500,000 investment and create 30 new jobs.

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

    NIPO has been created to offer something genuinely different, bringing together two remarkable culinary cultures through exceptional food, atmosphere and hospitality.

    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.

    Current plans for the restaurant include a specially developed lunchtime menu, alongside set-menu options for larger groups, corporate dining and conference delegates.

    The restaurant also plans to launch a Christmas menu after opening.

    Howard Eggleston, co-founder of NIPO, added:

    NIPO has been created with a clear ambition to build a distinctive hospitality brand with its own identity and long-term potential.

    Following our introduction of NIPO in Newcastle, bringing the concept to Harrogate represents another important step in that journey. We believe Harrogate provides an excellent setting for what we're creating, and we're looking forward to welcoming our first guests in December.
