Hawksmoor Spitalfields

Best steak in London.

I was looking forward to the sunday roast here as heard great things but I was SO disappointed. The meat was so fatty and chewy and the sides were not exciting at all. They need to put cauliflower cheese as a side. I honestly wouldn't go back which is a shame to say.

The Hawksmoor concept is now 12 years old and its empire spans 8 locations in 3 different cities, but each time I visit – and regardless of location – I am reminded just how good and consistent the experience is. A recent weekday night saw a group of us descend on the Spitalfields branch. This was the original location in the Hawksmoor stable, but it has benefited from a recent refurb. All the restaurants seem to manage to pull off that tricky combination of cool but traditional. Put another way, imagine exposed brickwork with maps of old London adorning them – much like the clubs of Pall Mall updated for the 21st Century. Beyond the vibe, it’s the food that draws the punters in. We are talking about seriously good steak, first described with a knowledgeable passion by the serving staff and then cooked to perfection by the chefs. Both the bone-in-prime rib and the porterhouse shared by our group showed lovely succulence as well as depth and intensity of flavour. The enjoyment was only enhanced by the sides. I have raved previously about Hawksmoor’s mac and cheese, but this is a wonderfully enjoyable dish both on a standalone basis and as a steak pair. Going back a step, the bone marrow with pickled onion starter (pictured) was probably the night’s dish to die for. The sweet fatty richness of the dish proved a delight, especially when combined with the inspired choice to drink an aged rosé champagne alongside. Hawksmoor has a decent list of wines priced from £40 to £225/bottle, but we availed ourselves of the reasonable corkage option, at £5/bottle, and brought our own. The experience ain’t cheap, but well worth every penny. Message to Hawksmoor: just keep up the good work!

Hawksmoor are well know for great steak and they don't disappoint. had a great meal and the service was good... good wine list too. Would definitely recommend.

A repeat visit to Hawksmoor fulfilled our expectations. Our server ‘ Ulisses’ was charming, attentive and entertaining. Let's be honest this isn't the cheapest lunch around, but hey it was a Birthday so we didn't stint. lobster starter had a smokey BBQ edge and was moist and delicious. We all ordered steaks( various cuts) . Each delivered promptly and cooked as requested. excellent Rioja and superb atmosphere. Having dined at several of the Hawksmoor chain this is our absolute favourite.

My friend did not only book my birthday dinner at Hawksmoor but also planned a surprise party and the people at Hawksmoor made it very special. From the lovely waitress to the excellent food, it was a night to remember and I do believe that we closed the bar.

Having rocked up to Hawksmoor Spitalfields (with Goodman's, this is my joint first in the “best ever steakhouse in London”-award) with a colleague, we had a phenomenal T-bone and a very decent bottle of Rioja. Service was excellent, everything tasted great and was executed flawlessly and I cant wait to go back. We did have a bit of fun in the place drinks-wise, but even then the bill was a bit of a sobering experience. It was self-inflicted, so hard to argue with and worth it anyway. Go there now, order half a cow and be happy!

Friendly service. Had a set menu. Good value and delicious meal.
