The Fazenda chain of restaurants is diversifying its menus by adding a range of dishes to cater for vegetarians and vegans, and provide more fish options.

Fazenda, with restaurants in Liverpool, Leeds and Manchester, is already famed for offering 15 different cuts of meat but says that these new meat-free ranges have been a well-received response to customer feedback.

The restaurant now offers mushroom and peppercorn gnocchi with truffle oil or pumpkin, spinach and blue cheese risotto for vegetarian diners, with a vegetarian sushi option also on hand.

As for fish dishes, Fazenda now offers smoked haddock and pea risotto, and lime and coriander-marinated salmon. Vegan diners will also be spoilt for choice with courgette and garlic gnocchi in a lemon sauce, or coconut and tomato gnocchi with piquillo peppers, with a gluten-free penne substitute available instead of gnocchi if desired.

These new options mean that  pescetarian, vegetarian and vegan diners can now tuck in to a main dish specifically tailored to their preferences in addition to Fazenda’s salad bar of hot and cold dishes.

Tomas Maunier, general manager at Fazenda said:

“At Fazenda we aim to ensure that all guests have the best possible experience. We have always offered a vegetarian option, but we decided it was time to branch out and offer a wider selection of vegetarian, vegan and pescetarian dishes, so that non-meat eaters can still enjoy the full Fazenda experience. The response we’ve received so far has been very positive indeed.”
