Chinese restaurant group Tattu , which operates on Edinburgh’s West Register Street, is hosting a season of cultural celebrations at each of its UK venues. Running from January 24th until February 8th, Tattu will not only celebrate Chinese New Year (25th January), it will also mark the customary Chinese Lantern Festival which symbolises the wish for a bright future.
The Year of the Rat will see each restaurant transform its interior with the installation of traditional red paper lanterns amongst the cherry blossoms. The first of the 12 zodiac signs, the rat is a symbol of wisdom and marks the start of a new cycle in the Chinese calendar.
To mark the occasion, Tattu has introduced a number of special dishes and cocktails which take inspiration from traditional new year’s feasting. Ahead of the Chinese Lantern Festival on Saturday 8th February, Tattu will also host traditional lion dance performances for guests in each venue to enjoy while they dine during the evening.
