Gaucho to bring Argentinian steaks to Ireland

ARGENTINIAN steakhouse Gaucho Grill, popular with many of Britain’s top footballers, has identified Ireland as a target for its expansion plans.

The restaurant chain revealed the plans following its decision to return to the London Stock Exchange a year after it was sold to private equity Phoenix Equity Partners for £55m (€79m).

It hopes the float will raise £50m of new money which will support the long-term roll-out of 40 new restaurant openings in Britain and Ireland.
