Chophaus - Contemporary steakhouse and grill to open in Leeds suburb

Contemporary steakhouse and grill Chophaus is due to open in early December just behind the historic Oakwood Clock.

The 70 cover restaurant will create 15 new jobs offering diners an enticing mix of premium steaks, chops and seafood as well as a range of signature dishes.

The team of chef’s tasked with bringing the Chophaus menu to life boast a long-list of globe-spanning credentials including the Batu Karang Resort on the island of Nusa Lembongan, Odysseia in Pacific Palace Jakarta and Aiden Byrne’s Church Green in Cheshire.

The menu has been carefully crafted to include a diverse range of both small and large plates that blends beloved traditional dishes with Innovative modern flourishes. Standout small plates include seared king scallops with wild mushroom ragout and winter truffle, mussels in beer broth with grilled cheese croissant and game terrine with beetroot ketchup and shallot rings.

And, if the prime cuts of steak cooked over a charcoal grill don’t pique your interest with their distinctively smoky flavour, the signature large plates will.

Highlights on offer include the Texel Lamb Rump with shepherd’s pie, braised duck leg with smoked foie gras, and old spot belly pork with tiger prawns.

General Manager Matt Kerrywood, previously of Iberica, Rare and Malmaison, said: ‘’Oakwood is one of the most vibrant suburbs in the city and we couldn’t think of a better place to

make Chophaus a reality.

"The area has really come into its own in recent years, with some of the city’s best bars and independents thriving of late. We’re confident that our restaurant will be a go-to destination for both locals and those from wider Leeds and beyond looking for exceptional steak in a lively, modern venue.’’

The restaurant will be sourcing its steaks and other prime cuts from Ripon’s coveted R and J Meats, who have been supplying restaurants across God's own county since 1978.
