Hull-based SASA Group Ltd seeks to change the use of the empty building at 7-9 Piccadilly.
The venue promises to create 5 full-time and 5 part-time jobs and if approved, would be open daily from 8am to midnight.
It would add to other eateries in Piccadilly, including Pepe’s Piri Piri chicken, which opened this month in the former Argos, and German Doner Kebab, which opened in 2022.
The three-storey building’s most recent use was as the Piccadilly Café Bar, which closed in February this year. From 2019, for some time, it was also known as Rehab Piccadilly.
What set the café apart from others in the city, was a Harry Potter-themed escape room in the basement.
