Masterchef finalist to open new cafe in Harrogate
A Masterchef finalist will open a new cafe in Harrogate this weekend after a successful trial in the town earlier this year.
Matt Healy's third Scandinavian-inspired Gron Kafe will take over the site of the Quantro restaurant on Royal Parade when it opens on Saturday.
The cafe will serve up pescatarian, vegetarian and vegan-friendly dishes. They could be for breakfast, brunch or an afternoon pick-me-up.
It is good timing for the cafe as the nation comes out of lockdown and the Harrogate district moves into tier two restrictions.

Matt had opened a pop-up at the Cold Bath Clubhouse earlier this year, where Paradise Tap and Taco have recently taken over.
With the success of that trial, Gron Kafe has been able to move into its own dedicated site on Royal Parade.
When the cafe opens on Saturday it will serve pancakes, smoothie bowls, vegan mac and cheese, healthy smoothies, coffee, alcohol and more.
Chef Matt Healy, who rose to fame in 2016 as a Masterchef finalist, said:
The new venture follows in the footsteps of Grön in Leeds and York, which have given the team the confidence to expand into Harrogate.
