Sexy Fish restaurant with over 200 seats to open in Manchester

Richard Caring's Caprice Holdings is to launch a Sexy Fish restaurant with over 200 seats in Manchester city centre this autumn.

It will be the third global outpost for the brand, which became a magnet for celebrities when its opulent debut restaurant opened in London's Mayfair in 2015. A second site launched in Miami in 2022.

The new restaurant at 2 Spinningfields Square looks set to feature the same elaborate interiors as its predecessors and will house three huge sculptures of sea creatures created by artist Damien Hirst as well as fish-shaped lamps by designer Frank Gehry.

Tanks of tropical fish will decorate a private dining space while tables will be set around glass columns. The main bar will be made of pink onyx and glass and set against the backdrop of a "cascading waterfall".

Sexy Fish Manchester will open for lunch and dinner and serve dishes inspired "by the seas of Asia" across a la carte and Omakase tasting menus, while international performers and DJs will serve as late-night entertainment.

A full menu has yet to be confirmed but the Mayfair site serves a ‘Ludicrous' £218 omakase menu, as well as a £44 ‘Sexy Fruits de Mer' platter and £37.80 wagyu, foie gras and truffle gyoza.

Sexy Fish Manchester will seat 215 covers including 152 in the main restaurant and 18 at the bar, while the private dining room will seat 45 but have standing space for 60.

It will be located close to its sister brand Ivy Asia, which was one of the largest restaurants to open in the UK in 2018, with over 500 covers.

Richard Caring, chairman of Caprice Holdings, said: "Myself and the entire company are extremely excited to bring Sexy Fish to the vibrant and amazing city of Manchester this autumn.

"Manchester follows on from the successful restaurants in London and Miami.

"Caprice Holdings as a company has an affinity with the city, and we believe that Sexy Fish will be loved and enjoyed by the people of Manchester. I repeat, we are truly excited and look forward to being in one of the greatest cities in the UK, and the world."

Caprice Holdings is also behind high-end London restaurants including Scott's, Daphne's, and Bacchanalia.
