Prime British beef, seafood & classic dishes served in moody environs
"Hawksmoor has long had a reputation as being one of the best places to get a steak in London, and we agree. All the meat is sourced from the UK, and each steak is cooked to perfection. The Seven Dials location has a huge basement room filled with the sounds of people eating red meat and having a good time. Besides beef, Hawksmoor does very good seafood (get the scallops), and the bar at this outpost is excellent and reason enough to visit on its own, especially if you just want a sandwich and a cocktail." - sinead cranna, jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager
"At Hawksmoor, all the meat is sourced from the UK and each steak is cooked to perfection. The Seven Dials location, in particular, has a huge basement room filled with the sounds of people eating red meat and having a good time. The seats are leather, the floors a dark wood, and there are columns pressed into the exposed brick roofs. In other words, it’s a decadent steak cave where no one will be able to see that you’ve got the meat sweats, or that you’ve ordered a third round of the Old Spot belly ribs." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
"Steakhouses are a sure bet with parents. They’re spacious and comfy, and nothing on the menu is even remotely challenging but still very tasty for the most part. Hawksmoor is the best one we have in London, and it’s where you should arrange to take them lest they have a hankering for well-hung beef. The Covent Garden outpost is one of our favourites, and although prices are predictably high, you’ll get excellent aged meat, cocktails, and the waiters will be nice to your folks. Feel free to ignore your mother’s protests that Aberdeen Angus does the best steak in town." - david paw
"The mega-popular steakhouse with locations across London, the UK, and now the USA, is home to London’s best, if not most consistent, sticky toffee pudding. The sponge is the same domed cup shape as the kind you microwave yourself at home, and that’s very much a compliment. It’s not just soaked but drenched in a torrential downpour of warm toffee sauce, and sits in a paddling pool of it for good measure. Sweet, moist, and topped with a creamy but still light quenelle of clotted cream, this is a top-tier sticky toffee pudding." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"With a growing roster of restaurants across the UK (and now the US), it can be difficult to choose which moody and mahogany Hawksmoor location to book, but the Covent Garden location is always a fine bet for a fun steakhouse meal. There’s a speakeasy feel to this basement and descending the stairs into a roomy bar area, you could just as easily imagine someone smoking a cigar while nursing a scotch on the rocks, as you could a group of colleagues getting burgers and beers." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
