Activists have targeted the Knightsbridge steak restaurant owned by Salt Bae.
The Animal Rebellion group, an offshoot of Extinction Rebellion, said eight people entered the Nusr-Et steakhouse in posh central London around 6pm and sat down at tables that had already been reserved.
Salt Bae, whose real name is Nusret Gokce and who shared a photo of himself at the World Cup on Friday, became a viral internet hit for his technique of sprinkling salt on his dishes.
The protest group said in a press release that they are calling for “a plant-based food system and mass rewilding.”
Student Ben Thomas, 20, said: “Restaurants like this symbolize a broken system.
While two million people in the UK rely on food banks, influencer chefs sell plated steaks for over £1,000.
“Steaks and other red meats, which we know have the greatest environmental impact.”
