Our Story
Founded in Leeds in 2010 and born from a passion to share South-American culinary traditions with the people of the UK, we’re proud to have five award-winning restaurants in prominent cities across the country.
With further growth on the horizon, our story continues with a new emerging chapter as we bring Fazenda to the heart of the capital in 2023.
- 01 People
We pride ourselves on creating an environment dedicated to opportunity, growth and professional development. We’re passionate about people, and believe that they are the real driving force behind any success story. That's why our enhanced employee benefits, progressive career pathways and wellbeing are at the heart of our business.
Progress - 02 Passion
Harnessing an innate desire to make a lasting impression, each member of our team is unified by one guiding principle - we exist to make our guests feel special. It's this ambition to go above and beyond that has led to our success and shaped who we are today. Extending beyond our restaurants, our love for community drives our work with charities both locally and nationally, such as Action Against Hunger and Hospitality Action.
- 03 Heritage
The foundation of who we are and everything we do. Embracing our South-American roots through the art of sharing. Sharing exquisite food and wine - and ultimately sharing experiences - is in our blood.
