Fazenda
Adding a taste of South America to the development, Fazenda is an authentic Brazilian restaurant, the first of its kind in Leeds. The restaurant’s menu features fifteen cuts of meat cooked by gaucho chefs in a traditional rodizio grill, served alongside a gourmet salad bar, authentic Brazilian side dishes and speciality South American beers and wines. Guests control their services with a small double-sided electronic chip. The green side signals the gaucho chefs to bring out skewers of sizzling meats to the table, while the red side indicates a stopping point.
Robert Melmon is in charge of the day-to-day running of the restaurant, following the success of his family-run restaurant, Argento Steakhouse in Huddersfield, which has a strong reputation for offering high quality, authentic Argentine food.
