Trying London's ICONIC Steakhouse in NYC! Hawksmoor Revisited

Рет қаралды 42,068

Күн бұрын

While NYC is known for its steakhouse culture, London is also a great steak city. New York's rival city across the pond is similar to NYC in many ways, and one way it is similar is London also has a great appreciation for dry-aged beef! The most famous and best steakhouse in London, many say, is Hawksmoor. Hawksmoor in London has since far expanded its original location, with locations all over the UK now. It has found its way to NYC as well, and despite NYC being such a powerhouse for great steaks, many people say Hawksmoor is as good as the best steakhouses in NYC!
We have actually reviewed Hawksmoor before on this channel, First time, we ordered the Hawkmoor rump steak, which was well-priced but it was not impressive. It lacked even sear and was under-seasoned. The famous Hawksmoor sticky toffee pudding was also quite disappointing. However, many of you have since commented and told me that I did not order the right items, and Hawksmoor is actually excellent if you order the right stuff, so this time around we ordered the porterhouse and they even threw in some fries as well!
Is London's best steakhouse really all it's cracked up to be? Or is it overrated hype mostly due to over-glorification of London? We'll find out together!

@uaeats would like you to do Cote, which is hard to get into (but apparently amex platinum's concierge actually can help get reservation). I have not tried it, but its a michelin star korean BBQ place that people describe more as steak house meets korean BBQ. The 68$ butcher's feasst is one of the top recommended meals on r/FoodNYC subreddit.

For Hawksmoor in London, there are many locations in Central London. I think it's a great eatling house, the cocktails are great too.

I’ve been to this place 4-5 times and the steak never blew me away, solid of course but I wouldn’t put It in my top 5 of steakhouses in NYC, maybe I have been ordering the wrong cut bc I usually go with a ribeye and not a tbone. The dining room itself is my fav in NYC and the service is great so my feelings about this place are mixed.

My favourite steakhouse in London is 'The Beast', it's from the same owner as 'Goodman'. Very different experience though.

I went to one of the London locations, I thought it was really good. Their Caesar salad was great (I didn't get anchovies on it) and it was huge. My brother got a ribeye and said it was really good. I think the bread here is different. The bread at the London one, I think, had a firmer crumb and almost reminded me of a ciabatta. I thought it was very good restaurant bread. They gave you really tiny drinks, though and their ice cream scoop was very small, so some of the stuff was overpriced for what you got. However, I liked the food.

Went to the one in Seven Dials in London a few years ago and it was so bad we complained, had another steak cooked, and that was 50% fat so they'd chosen that specifically for us, complained again and got it comped. My mate may have mentioned he worked for Google, and it was fortunate he was out with friends. They told us they'd comp a future meal to make it up to us. Went back months later and they ruined that £100+ steak too. Came to the conclusion that they can't cook steak, as they couldn't manage it on 3 occasions, and people are easily pleased by low standards. So pleased that it's now international.
