Hospitality company The ONE Group is to open its first STK Rebel restaurant outside of North America in Edinburgh.

The company has agreed to take a 7,000 square feet site at the South St Andrew Square development in the Scottish capital.

It hopes to open the restaurant during 2017.

Jonathan Segal, founder and chief executive of The ONE Group, said: “We are delighted to be expanding our footprint across Europe as we take our unique hospitality concepts around the world. Edinburgh is the perfect location for the UK’s first STK Rebel.”
