A sustainable mixed-grill restaurant has revealed plans to open in Cardiff's St David's Centre, selling 'carbon neutral beef and Argentinian wine.' Gaucho, a high-end chain with restaurants across London, Leeds, Manchester, and Birmingham, could be coming to The Hayes after a planning application was submitted to Cardiff Council.
The restaurant, which opened its first location in London in 1994, says it takes its inspiration from Argentina "with a vision of bringing the world's best steak to the UK." The restaurant's beef comes from "premium Black-Angus cattle bred at hand-selected farms" in Argentina.
The Gaucho Carbon Footprint Project, "was born from our awareness of the impact we have on the planet and our commitment to quality" its website says. The company has partnered with beef supplier Rellman Foods to quantify and report the carbon footprint of the beef served at the restaurants.
