Hawksmoor Spitalfields (Spitalfields)

• Of course it was fantastic steak
• No surprises here really Hawksmoor was AWESOME with a side of awesome
• This worked a treat as we got there and were seated straight away
• We're not early morning people so what we were eating at Hawksmoor was actually our breakfast
• Not as a sit down meal) which was fine by us
• All the dishes that the food was served on were perfectly sized to fit the food on it
• The ox cheek nuggets came with a sambal dip which was delicious
• They were so tender and gooey with the cheese
• Or make the most of the sambal by eating it with the nuggets
• The French Dip was my favourite of all three and was an amazing sandwich in its own right
• I would take a bite and decide I didn't want to 'sully' it with the accompanied gravy
• The bread itself was very soft and inside was the shredded flavoursome cheek meat topped with
• Sweeter gravy which was also pretty addictive
• Towards the end the chips that it had been covering had been completely soaked in it and were a little soggy
• The idea of gravy with cheese and chips didn't appeal but I'm happy to say I was a fool to think this way
• The caramel was indeed very salty
• If Stephen hadn't ordered the sticky toffee pudding that I was then able to have some of
• The toffee pudding was magnificent
• The caramel sauce was a light cinder toffee in flavour
• The pudding itself was warm and just like a pudding should be dense and sticky
• It was topped with a completely unnecessary quenelle of clotted cream
• Nevertheless was appreciated as an extra touch of decadence
• As it was our breakfast and we were heading to a festival straight after
• We didn't want to drink loads while we were in there but I just had to try the full fat old fashioned (rather dear at £
• This was butter infused bourbon with sugar and I could have drank that all day
• It mostly just tasted of whisky of course with just enough sweetness to take away any harshness or burning you might get from drinking hard liquor neat
• Is it wrong of me to be proud that was the first thing to pass my lips that day
• The bar itself has apparently been redone a bit and is all dark wood and low lighting
• Meaning we could easily forget it was midday outside and that we shouldn't be drinking whisky cocktails at that hour
• Our waitress was incredibly friendly and smiley
• The restaurant was decent looking
• The waitress was very friendly and useful considering how complicated the menu seemed to me
• After much explanation and deliberation I ordered the bone marrow with onions for starters and my friend ordered the scallops
• I don't know what I expected but was not too impressed with the bone marrow the scallop was ok however and nicely presented
• We ordered the 650g chateaubriand steak medium well done to share (we were told it was huge
• The steak was very tasty with bernaise and hollandaise sauce and a side of lazy ceaser salad
• The burgers were clean with good depth of flavours which are the type of burger I enjoy the most
• Had steak fillet which was cooked on point and sides were tasty too
• The only slight thing i could say about Hawksmoor Spitalfields (Spitalfields) is the amount of noise generated from people chatting away as tables are quite close but is nice and homely
• The ambience is on point (think dark wood
• The buzz of conversation) and the staff are amazing that brilliant mixture of knowledgeable
• The mains and puds are so good (and filling
• The range of cuts and sizes of steak is really impressive

• The thought of looking at a plate while a massive slab of meat stares back is a sight that sends shivers down my primal spine
• Hawksmoor is committed to showcasing the best beef Britain has to offer and is uncompromising in that pursuit
• Hawksmoor doesn't take shortcuts and the evidence is in the product
• Sending me off on my steak odyssey was a starter of fillet steak tartare which was a delight
• Fresh and tender mince was combined with capers
• Gherkin and an egg yolk to produce a pure taste which was incredible
• Onto the main event and as a raw beef lover it was the rump steak for me
• It was one of the best steaks I've had in my lifetime
• The beef cooked to utter perfection with a respect to the natural flavours of the beef which shone through
• A selection of cuts is available from sirloin to ribeye to fillet however don't forgot to check the blackboard of special cuts of the day which for those with a real appetite to satisfy
• Is something flat entirely and to call it a side almost seems to be disrespectful but such is the quality of the beef that it is stuck on the bench
• Hands down THE best roast I've ever had
• The carrots on the other hand were honey roasted and mouth wateringly good
• We accompanied our roast with creamed spinach which is insanely good spiced with nutmeg I'd love to find out exactly how they prepare it
• I'm a macaroni and cheese fan at the moment so I had to get a wee portion on the side as Hawksmoor's is one of the best
• The peanut butter shortbread was presentable of worth trying for any PB fan
• If you're put off for the high steak prices then Sunday lunch is your best opportunity to try Hawksmoor
