Bossa, Brazilian chef Alberto Landgraf’s debut London restaurant, has closed its doors after less than a year of trading.

The Marylebone restaurant, which launched in May last year, is believed to have shut in January.

Bossa’s Instagram page has been removed and it is no longer possible to make a reservation via the restaurant’s website.

However, on Google the restaurant is only listed as ‘temporarily closed’.

Restaurant understands that the restaurant’s owners may be preparing to relaunch the site under a new name and concept that’s potentially linked to Moroto, the underground lounge and bar located beneath Bossa, which continues to operate.

When it launched, Bossa was billed as a being a ‘culmination’ of Landgraf’s 20+ years of experience in restaurants.

The chef cut his teeth in London working for the likes of Gordon Ramsay and Tom Aikens, and currently operates the two Michelin-starred Oteque in Rio de Janeiro.

Bossa’s menu was described as a ‘vivid and contemporary’ exploration of Brazilian cuisine and featured dishes including skewered duck hearts with farofa; and roasted scallops with leeks, toasted buckwheat and tucupi sauce.

The 60-cover dining room featured an open-plan kitchen with dining counter alongside banquette and bar seating, a bar woodwork, and large windows for natural light.
