Bibimbap, the Korean food concept, has launched a new to-go format after securing a site in London’s Leadenhall Market.

Bibimbap To Go, which will serve a four section menu comprising bibimbap, rice, wraps with an array of fillings and sides, has taken over from a jacket potato café in the market.

The concept started in Greek Street, Soho, in 2010 and then expanded to Charlotte Street in late 2013.

“It will bring a fresh Korean flavour to the market and will go down well with the nearby City workers and tourists who flock to the market,” said Salvatore Di Natale, of specialist restaurant agents CDG Leisure, which handled the sale.

“There has been huge interest from restaurants which want a presence in such an iconic venue.”
