Liverpool’s award-winning tapas restaurant, El Gato Negro, is ready for an exciting new chapter as it prepares to move from its current location on Exchange Flags to Castle Street.
The move will see El Gato Negro take over the Viva Brazil site, with the relocation set to be complete by March 2025.
Until the move, guests can still enjoy the full tapas experience at Exchange Flags, where the restaurant will trade as usual.
Simon Shaw, chef patron and creative director at MHDL, said:
“We’re delighted to be moving El Gato Negro to its new home on Castle Street and making way for something exciting to come in its place at Exchange Flags.
“This relocation allows us to bring the restaurant to one of Liverpool’s most iconic streets, while also paving the way for a dynamic new venue later in the year.
“We’re also pleased to confirm that all current Viva Brazil staff will be retained as part of this transition.”
The move ensures an exciting new beginning for the space, which will be transformed into a stylish and welcoming home for the restaurant
Guests visiting the restaurant at Exchange Flags before the move, can enjoy 40% off food bills (T&Cs apply) throughout January.
Additionally, the site at Exchange Flags will be turned into an exciting new venue later in the year, with further details to be revealed soon.
The team look forward to welcoming guests to the new Castle Street location in March 2025.
Further details, including the official opening date, will be announced in the coming months.
El Gato Negro is a Simon Shaw restaurant. The award-winning tapas menu combines modern and traditional flavours and techniques, offering seasonally-influenced small plates using quality Spanish and locally-sourced ingredients.
