Best steakhouses in London
The restaurant "Hawksmoor Spitalfields" in London is an icon of the British steakhouse scene and marks the origin of the now well-known Hawksmoor chain, which opened its first branch here in 2006. Located in the vibrant district of Spitalfields, near Shoreditch, the restaurant has earned a reputation for excellent steaks, sustainably sourced fish, and a warm, unpretentious atmosphere. It is often described as the heart of the "Hawksmoor spirit" – a place where passion for quality and hospitality is palpable. The decor combines rustic charm with modern touches: dark wood, exposed brick walls, and an open kitchen create an inviting yet stylish environment suitable for both relaxed evenings and special occasions.
Sustainably sourced fish London
At the center of the cuisine is British beef from grass-fed, native breeds, which is ethically raised and aged for a minimum of 35 days to guarantee an unmatched flavor. Particularly popular is the bone-in prime rib, a juicy cut of meat with a bone that stands out for its perfect marbling and masterful preparation over the charcoal grill – a true delight for steak lovers. The porterhouse, large enough to share, impresses with its tenderness and intense aroma. In addition to the steaks, the restaurant offers delicious sides such as the triple-cooked chips, which are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, as well as the creamy macaroni cheese, which captivates many guests with its rich cheesy flavor.
Sunday roast experience London
For fish lovers, there are also highlights, such as the grilled mackerel, which impresses with its fresh, smoky note and pairs perfectly with a spicy sauce. The menu is complemented by seasonal dishes that showcase the versatility of British cuisine. A special experience is the Sunday roast, which has been awarded the title of best in Britain twice – a traditional Sunday meal featuring slow-cooked beef, Yorkshire pudding, and ample sides that draw guests in droves. For dessert, the sticky toffee pudding, a sweet classic with warm toffee and a hint of salt, rounds off the evening.

The drinks menu is equally impressive: in addition to an extensive selection of wines that pair perfectly with the dishes, the cocktail bar shines with creative and classic drinks. The cellar area, known as the Spitalfields Bar, which can be used for private events, is famous for its award-winning cocktails and adds an extra dimension to the restaurant. Particularly popular is the "Bring Your Own Monday" concept, where guests can bring their own bottle of wine – an offer appreciated by both wine lovers and regulars.
