The latest major restaurant destination in the City is the new Bloomberg Arcade, which joins the two sections of the brand new Bloomberg development near Bank. It puzzles the editor where the clientele will come from given the huge number of new restaurant openings in the City area over the past two to three years. Obviously prosperity and disposable incomes, or perhaps just the spending habits of millenials, are running higher than is generally credited.
The following is a listing of Bloomberg arcade restaurants with brief descriptions of their cuisine offerings taken from the Bloomberg arcade website:
Ahi Poké
The taste of Hawaii, in the heart of the City, this is sunshine in a bowl: fresh fish and raw vegetables combined with your choice of rice, quinoa or kale.
