A sign has gone up in the window or a shop premises advertising a new restaurant near the town centre.

A sign stating 'Coming soon Papa's Kitchen' has gone up in the window of the former Takayama restaurant on Fore Street in Ipswich, located between the Waterfront and the town centre.

In April this year, Takayama moved premises to the former La Cueva site on St Nicholas Street, with the Fore Street premises being vacant since then.

It is unknown what cuisine Papa's Kitchen will serve, or when it will open.
