The date when Preston’s newest restaurant will open its doors has been announced,

Luka -which will offer a range of dishes inspired by flavours from around the world, including Mediterranean - has taken over the former Bistrot Pierre site in Fishergate, Preston.

The team behind Luka has over 10 years of experience working in restaurants around the world, and its owner, Bariscan Avcu, said they pride themselves “on a passionate, energetic and friendly approach to delivering exceptional food and customer satisfaction”.

Lancashire-based Forbes Solicitors has helped agree a five-year lease for the former Baptist church, where Luka will offer a range of dishes , from breakfast and brunch, an early-bird menu from 4pm to 5.30pm and a full à la carte menu in the evenings.

Now the date when people can try it all out has been announced as Tuesday, October 15.

Taking to social media, Luka’s management said: “Buckle up, because on 15th October, we’re coming to shake Preston… or maybe Preston will shake us!

“Luka - Grand Opening Night. A fantastic line-up of performers and DJs will take to the stage. The entertainment begins at 7.30pm and continues throughout the night. Join us for dinner and stay for drinks afterwards, or simply come along for cocktails, music and an unforgettable night.”

Guests are asked to adhere to the ‘smart casual’ dress code.
