Hawksmoor Knightsbridge - London

Ah Hawksmoor, the place of meat, bone marrow and above all else, those fries! I've stopped eating meat for a while now and still thoroughly enjoy Hawksmoor. Last time I went I ordered their crab roll, their lobster roll, fries and mac n cheese. Yeah, and what? I was hungry oker? Suffice to say, I did not eat it all on my own, although I did try. I tried because it was delicious, it was satisfying, it was everything Hawksmoor strives to be. The service was on point, the waitresses gave their opinions and they worked out. Their mac and cheese wasn't at all gloopy or heavy, it was light, crunchy and creamy, just as it should be. Go during lunch, it's quieter and you get to hear your guests talk. Prices? Well, bring a full wallet.

I’m not going to tell you how amazing Hawksmoor’s steaks are, because you already know. EVERYONE already knows. (And if you don’t, then the rumours are true. Hawksmoor steaks are fucking brilliant. . They are also – like many fucking brilliant things – quite expensive. BUT I have found a bargain with old mate Bookatable, which is a London Restaurant Festival partner and year-round cave of wonders, if you consider a city-wide selection of exclusive restaurant deals wonderful (which of course you do . This year, one of the best-looking deals was a three-course meal with a cocktail for £27 at Hawksmoor (or £24 for two courses . Mike is big on steak (hell, I’m big on steak, ladylike appetites be damned , so I made us a reservation before going to see Dara O’Briain at the Eventim Apollo. Night out of dreams, amiright?

Known for their delicate and tasteful steaks, the hawksmoor restaurant group in knightsbridge is perfectly located near the muses and the renowned department stores, so that there is the perfect stop for lunch while taking into the sights, or as my friend and I chose an evening meal in style. we have served us to start with skalopps because we couldn't decide on individual meal times – we wanted a bit of everything that made everything delicious – we decided to share our main. first we ordered a whole steamed brixham lobster, served with garlic butter. the lobster melted in our mouth, the texture perfectly light and buttery, and the garlic did not override the court, but strengthened it. next we chose an amazing 1.3 kg tomahawk steak easily cooked to perfection! if they never had a steak in a hawksmoor restaurant, they really disappeared. we talked to the staff, who was so impotent and friendly, and learned that the restaurant uses only the best British cattle suppliers, with traditional methods instead of mass production. the steak was tender, rich and honest to one of the best I had in my life. the potato starch is the perfect steak with three cooked chips. I am a sucker for a crispy, delicious chip. Although we were so full of our delicious dinner, we decided to end up on a sweet note, the botanical reception, a chocolate and hazelnut seasoned pudding, recalling a certain spread we all enjoyed. the best part is that they donate part of the sales to a charitable original for the world hunger. we also ordered the sticky toffee pudding, highlighted with a puppy game of tinted cream. all about hawksmoor knightsbridge was exceptional. a true culinary gem!

Fantastic steak and the bone marrow was delicious well presented fast service nice and busy staff are very helpful in explaining everything to me really enjoyed myself and would go again

From start to finish Hawksmoor Knightsbridge were top notch with food, drink and ambience we all started with the fried oysters with devilled tartare sauce then father in law and I had the Tamworth belly ribs which were rich in flavour and was complimented well with the vinegar slaw; my other half had the raw seabass with ginger chilli which was wonderfully refreshing to try in between my mouthfuls of ribs and mum in law had Hoxton crab salad which was great too. For mains, FIL and I matched again by having the D rump steak however I'd had asked for my usual preference of medium rare when it would have suited it more being medium like FIL had it. Still a great tasting steak at 55 days matured though. MIL and partner shared the chateubriand beautifully soft but compared to the D rump not as favourful. Triple cooked chips were scrumptious! After all that we braved desserts I had their take on the sweets Rolos which are great if you want something small to finish the night off on a sweet note (the Salted Caramel one was heaven in a bite! . Green apple sorbet and their take on Ferrero Rocher was also on the table Rocher is definitely a sharing dessert but divine and the sorbert was a great palate cleanser after all that meat. Waiters were polite and helpful with our questions and the buzz in the restaurant on a Saturday night was the perfect level to feel like it was busy but we never had to shout to be heard. Ladies toliets could have been a little bit better maintained but being a late Saturday night nothing to quibble about! Will definitely be booking a table again very soon!
