In 2016, the first restaurant outside Madrid was opened, specifically in front of the famous Turó Park, in the very heart of the Sarrià neighbourhood of Barcelona and in October 2017 begins its international expansion with the opening in Abu Dhabi, the capital of United Arab Emirates.

In April 2018, the Group opens the doors of their first boutique restaurant in Madrid, 99 KŌ SUSHI BAR. Recognized by the most prestigious culinary guide with its first Michelin star in its 2020 edition.

During 2019 and 2020, the Company, following its expansion plan, incorporates three new restaurants to the GRUPO BAMBÚ portfolio, among those located in Spain, 99 sushi bar Bilbao is the latest addition after the opening of the exclusive 99 sushi bar Marbella in the luxurious Hotel Anantara Villa Padierna. At an international level, 99 Sushi Bar Dubai opened its doors in September 2020, at the foot of the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa.

As a consequence of the pandemic and in order to continue serving its customers, in Mayo 2020, “99 AtHome” was born to stay to cover the demand of the TAKE AWAY service.

In December 2022, 99 Sushi Bar Rabat open its doors, reinforcing its international position with this new opening.

For the next two years, the Group is already working on several projects, including a luxury catering service and a new restaurant in Madrid, as well as one outside the peninsula and two more outside Spain.

99 SUSHI BAR is a place not to miss for those who love Japanese cuisine. It is worth pointing out its philosophy based on the respect for the product and the Japanese cooking techniques, adding a touch of refinement and exclusiveness to its dishes, as well as the excellent, close service provided by an outstanding team of professionals.

In 99 SUSHI BAR, you will be able to discover new sensations, such as the famous, Crispy Tiger Prawn Tempura with spicy and creamy sauce, the Wild Boar Gyozas with caramelized onions, arzua cheese and chestnut infusion, or the Grilled Toro and Smoked Iberian air dried beef temaki taco with a chili tomato emulsion and aromatized herbs. Neither can we forget the eel Nigiri, grilled foie gras and Toro Sashimi. Spicy Tuna Tartar and pickles salad with wakame seaweed and shoestring chips in kimuchi sauce, or Alaskan Black Cod au gratin with two layers of red miso are also two of the most renowned recipes.
