Buffalo Grill is a chain of steakhouses based in France, with over 280 outlets in Europe. Most of these outlets are located in France, but also in Luxembourg, Switzerland, Spain and Belgium.[1] It is a mass-market chain serving American-style steaks with some concessions to French tastes, such as a roquefort sauce option.

In December 2002 it was the subject of a major scandal when allegations emerged that the chain had sold British beef, banned in France due to fears of BSE contamination, between 1996 and 2000.[2] In October 2003, manslaughter charges against the firm's executives were dismissed in respect of two vCJD sufferers, who claimed to have caught the disease from the firm's beef. Two of the firm's employees spent three months in prison prior to being acquitted.[3] The firm's sales suffered considerably due to the scandal, but by 2004 were on the rise again.[4]
