A brand new restaurant and cocktail bar opens in Formby today, with dishes from around the world.
Tibu Bar and Eatery opens at 9 Chapel Lane in the heart of Formby Village, featuring internationally inspired cuisine.
The new venture is run by Tibu Pinedo, who many people will recognise from restaurants including The Warehouse and Casa Italia in Southport and The Vincent in Liverpool.
There is an extensive Sushi section of the menu, with choices of Maki, Sashimi and Nigri, with sharing boards too.
There is a real Spanish influence too with dishes such as: Mini Chorizos, Scorched Padron Peppers and Iberico Ham.
Mains include: Chicken Supreme, Roasted Sea Trout, Iberico Pork, Hoi Sin Glazed Aubergine and Butter Poached Lobster.
Desserts include: Citrus Crema Catalana, Burnt Basque Cheesecake, Frangipan Tart and Chocolate and Hazelnut Mousse.
Tibu Pinedo said: “Hello Formby, some of you may recall me from The Warehouse Restaurant in Southport and The Vincent in Liverpool.
“I have now decided to open my own restaurant and cocktail bar in the heart of Formby Village and I am excited about hopefully meeting some of you soon.
“We shall be open to welcome you from Thursday this week.
“My philosophy is to always try our very best to source our produce locally and employ local staff; even our head chef Nick was born and bred in Formby!
“All of our food is freshly prepared. Our menu is international and we also have a sushi and vegetarian / vegan menu.
“I would like to thank McComb Property Company as our landlords for carrying out our building works, AKM design for our stunning interiors and Andrew Dunne of Creative Design & Build as our main contractor.
“I look forward to welcoming you all.”
