Masterchef runner-up opens second eatery
A Scandi-inspired eatery has been opened in Leeds by the same team behind Matt Healy x The Foundry.
Grön Kafé is the latest addition to Leeds’ independent dining scene, offering a menu of vegetarian and vegan-friendly dishes created by runner-up in BBC’s MasterChef: The Professionals, Matt Healy.
The café and restaurant has opened in North Leeds. Born from a love of healthy living, fine food, and good coffee, Grön will offer balanced breakfasts, energy-boosting brunches, and late afternoon pick-me-ups.
The venue is nestled amongst Oakwood’s parade of independent retailers on Roundhay Road. Grön has also partnered with Chapel Allerton’s Wayward Wines to offer a carefully-selected wine list, with a number of natural wines available.
Ingredients are sourced locally wherever possible, including from North Star Coffee Roasters and Birdhouse Tea Company, and dairy-free alternatives are available for no extra charge including almond and oat milks.
Executive Chef Matt Healy said: “There’s no denying that many people are actively cutting down on their meat consumption, and we want to prove that vegetarian and vegan dishes serve up just as much flavour. We’ve created an all-day menu of options to tickle every tastebud and set you up for the day.
“We’ve received an incredibly warm welcome since opening The Foundry earlier this year, and we’re excited to build on our success and expand into North Leeds with something a little bit different.”
The launch of Grön Kafé follows the introduction of Healy’s first Leeds restaurant, Matt Healy x The Foundry, which opened in May 2018 and where TheBusinessDesk.com ran its summer networking event in August.
