Because authentic Brazilian rodizio bar and grill Estabulo is set to open a brand-new restaurant at the Merrion Centre in Leeds this October.
Just moments away from the First Direct Arena adjoining the Ibis Styles Leeds City Centre hotel, the new venue will be in the perfect location for concert-goers or for those stopping off in Leeds.
If you haven't been to Estabulo before, then allow us to get you clued up on what to expect.
Guests can enjoy Estabulo’s renowned rodizio dining experience, where a variety of meats are slow-roasted over open flames and carved at the table to enjoy as much as desired.

And we really mean it, if you don't leave here with the meat sweats then you're doing something wrong.
Every meal also includes unlimited access to Estabulo’s extensive salad bar, which features seasonal produce as well as cheeses, and Brazilian-inspired sides.
But it doesn't stop there because in addition to the signature rodizio, the new Estabulon will also serve the group’s popular à la carte menu launched earlier this year, with highlights including the Flat Iron Steak, Scottish Bavette, and the Estabulo Burger.
Sophie Blackburn, Operations Manager at Estabulo, said: “Opening our new restaurant marks a really exciting step for the brand. We’re passionate about sharing authentic Brazilian flavours and creating a vibrant dining atmosphere, and this venue gives us the perfect opportunity to welcome even more guests to enjoy the rodizio experience.”
Charles Newman, Associate Director, Estates for Town Centre Securities PLC (TCS), owners of the Merrion Centre, said: “We are delighted to welcome Estabulo to the Merrion Centre. Their rodizio-style dining adds something truly unique to our growing line-up of international restaurants.
"With the venue directly connected to our ibis Styles Leeds City Centre Arena hotel, it will provide a fantastic option for hotel guests and arena visitors alike. With thousands of office workers and students nearby, we are confident this new venue will become a key addition to the Arena Quarter.”
Announcing the news to Instagram, Edge's Pizza said: "Well there’s good reason for our silence over the last few months, (planning permission pending) we’ve got a home! Seven months of looking and we’ve learnt so much on this journey already, from investment that didn’t work out, to dodgy buildings not fit for purpose. We’ve got there in the end.
"All that to say, we pride ourselves on perfection and wouldn’t settle for anything less. We hope this will be worth the wait, and that you’ll support us on this next huge step. We are terrified to say the least, but we’re also so excited and immensely grateful to you our lovely customers for this opportunity."

This would be great news for Leeds, as their pizza is something unlike anything we have in the city at the moment.
Forget the floppy, Neapolitan-slices that you fold before shoving in your gob. These slices are satisfyingly thin, perfectly crispy and just downright delicious.
We would love to welcome Edges Pizza to the city and we'll keep you updated with the progress. You can bet we'll be the first to order.
Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse
Clementine Hall
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
