MIA Market

This ritzy eatery is a showstopper thanks to hanging gardens, Shou Sugi Ban wood ceilings (basically burned cedar that's fire retardant) and an Irimoya-zukuri-style retractable roof (the pointy, sloped roof associated with Japanese architecture) that opens year-round—weather permitting. Chotto Matte restaurants are set in stylish and contemporary architectural spaces in the world's most inspiring cities, celebrating the best of authentic and innovative Nikkei cuisine. Kurt Zdesar, the concept's founder and owner, created it in 2013, and it continues to evolve and push the boundaries and vision of the restaurant scene. Chotto Matte has four locations in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada, with more to come in the Middle East and North America.

Kurt Zdesar envisioned and realized the Chotto Matte concept after gaining valuable experience in a number of successful hospitality ventures. Zdesar set out on a journey from Japan to Peru, determined to create a new, exciting, and accessible fine dining experience. He became interested in Nikkei cuisine after meeting with local chefs and learning traditional techniques.
