Cabana, the Jamie Barber-led Brasilian barbecue restaurant chain, has confirmed it plans to invest £1.5m in opening a new 4,500sq ft restaurant in Trinity Leeds next month.
The opening will be the six-strong group’s first venture outside of London, with further regional openings planned for 2015.
Barber said: “The past three years have seen Cabana really take off and we knew the time was right to expand our Brasilian Barbecue offering beyond London. Visiting Leeds, it was clear to us that the city, with its vibrant business community, huge student population and amazing shopping, had to be our first place to open.”
