Brazilian independent restaurant set to open in Leeds

A BRAZILIAN restaurant launching at the former site of Zizzi at Leeds’ Corn Exchange.

The new Bossa eatery is opening at 2 Cloth Hall Street with 110 covers, next to Red’s True Barbecue.

The site opens on 19 September serving Rodizio-style grilled meats.

The Bossa menu includes the classic picanha (cap of rump), lamb, chicken thighs and sausages, with a different meat special offered every week.

Francisco Martinez, the group executive head chef said: “Simplicity can go a long way, but when you add the Bossa style to simple things you give them passion, and that is what we think people will feel about our food.

“We South Americans appreciate the simple yet finer things in life. At the heart of everything is family and friends. We share laughs and stories, we want you to be yourself, there’s always a place for you at our table in Bossa.”

Bossa’s eclectic interior is a “feast for the eyes” according to the group, with rough sawn timber, herringbone tiles and painted brickwork. An outdoor area will extend onto the pedestrianised area around the Corn Exchange.

Director Robert Melman said: “Leeds is growing as a food and drink destination and we are confident that Bossa is the right offer for casual diners in the city centre looking for high-quality, great value eating out experience.”
