PROMOTION
SPINNINGFIELDS' latest new opening, Fazenda, welcomed their first guests this weekend as the highly-anticipated Brazilian 'Churrascaria' began its soft launch period before fully opening to the public on Friday 7 November.
Green is go-time for the 'passadores' (meat chefs) who file from the kitchen and float around the tables carrying fifteen different meats.
Fazenda - which also has two successful operations in Leeds and Liverpool - is the latest in a stream of food and drink openings on The Avenue in Spinningfields as it undergoes a transformation following a weak luxury retail performance.
The newly opened 'Churrascaria' (straight from the barbecue) prides itself on large pieces of slowly-grilled meat skewered and cooked over open flames.
Fazenda meat
Following a trip to the lengthy salad bar packed with cured meats, cheeses, breads, olives, fish, pasta, potatoes, sushi and a must-try Feijoada (Brazilian black bean stew with pork), diners then flip a disc on the table between green (ready for meat) to red (full-up or resting).
Green is go-time for the 'passadores' (meat chefs) who file from the kitchen and float around the tables carrying fifteen different meats, including rump, sirloin, fillet, pork belly, lamb, gammon, fish and delicious little chicken hearts - a delicacy in Brazil.
Weekday lunch time prices start from £17.30, while a Friday or Saturday evening will cost £29.20. Kids eat from £6.70 and vegetarians from £17.30 to £21.90.
Bottles of wine start around the £20 mark and champagne from £40. Fazenda also offer half bottle options and the use of Coravin wine access technology which allows diners to sample premium wines by the glass without having to buy the bottle.
Following a £2m investment to bring the Brazilian concept to Spinningfields, there's been no expense spared on The Avenue's latest food offering, and it shows.
Fazenda boasts a beautifully warm and sumptuous interior and Confidential has no doubt they'll be packing them in on The Avenue.
Fazenda Manchester will fully open in Spinningfields from Friday 7 November. Open seven days a week from midday to midnight (last sitting will be 10pm)
Here's how she looks...
