Grosvenor has announced the signing of South East Asian bar and brasserie, Mamasan, at Liverpool ONE.

The concept, which focuses on “elevated dining, drinks and music”, has signed for a 6,875 sq ft space.

Founded by Brad Stevens, the creator of culinary concepts Bar Soba (1999) and Pizza Punks (2016), Mamasan’s launch at Liverpool ONE will mark the brand’s second opening.

In line with the Glasgow site that opened in 2020, the Mamasan bar and brasserie at Liverpool ONE will provide “flavourful, punchy South East Asian inspired cuisine and cocktails, prepared fresh to order and elevated with the finest local produce from Britain’s land, farms and sea”.

Mamasan’s latest restaurant, due to be unveiled once national lockdown restrictions are eased, will see a complete refit of the expansive unit into a “sophisticated brasserie-style setting”, designed to accommodate up to 200 covers.

Mamasan will also take advantage of the site’s mezzanine floor and panoramic roof terrace to “seamlessly combine outdoor and indoor dining and bar capabilities, while installing a high calibre sound system to further enhance the experience for visitors”.

Alison Clegg, managing director, asset management at Grosvenor Britain & Ireland, says: “We know Liverpool ONE’s consumers want a higher-end, multi-dimensional dining offer, where they can enjoy a range of experiences that cannot be found elsewhere.

“The signing of Mamasan fits the bill and also demonstrates that, despite the challenging circumstances for the sector, Grosvenor is able to attract and support growing operators.”

Brad Stevens, founder of Mamasan, adds: “With nationally-established names such as Bar Soba and Pizza Punks already under my belt, I am looking forward to now turning my attention to expanding the unique Mamasan concept.

“The gap in the market for this kind of experiential dining in Liverpool, combined with the discovery of this attractive and versatile space at Liverpool ONE, made this an opportunity too good to pass up.

“It’s been great to have Grosvenor’s support in adapting and preparing Mamasan’s concept for Liverpool ONE, and we can’t wait to open and deliver the best in elevated South East Asian inspired dining.”

The signing of Mamasan’s debut site in the city coincides with  restaurants Gourmet Burger Kitchen and Zizzi both re-committing to Liverpool ONE following administration periods.
