The flagship Covent Garden branch of the popular steakhouse group

Time Out says

What is it?

Most Londoners will have heard of Hawksmoor. Since the first opened, back in 2006, it’s been the darling of the steak scene. That original branch is near Christ Church Spitalfields, built by architect Nicholas Hawksmoor – hence the name – and is a full-of-character. But the Covent Garden offshoot, launched in 2010, just as the area was becoming fashionable again, is the group's well-deserved flagship.

Why go?

Set in a big, buzzy basement, with low, flattering lighting, it’s great for a long lunch, a birthday dinner, a hot date and everything in between. As a converted brewery, it's hugely atmospheric, with plenty of original features including the gently arched brick ceilings and cast-iron columns.

And the food? Well it's great. You can’t really put a foot wrong here, and though the beef is of course excellent, it does a mean line in seafood, too. On a recent visit, a slice of toast buried under an avalanche of delicate white crab meat was a hit; as was the southcoast monkfish that was grilled over hot charcoal.

Don't miss: 

Don’t overlook the huge selection of sides: they’re stars in their own right (especially the moreish cauliflower cheese). And if you're looking for a roast, Hawksmoor does one just as good - if not better - than any.

When to visit:

Monday - Thursday 12pm-3pm, 4.30pm-10pm; Friday 12pm-3pm, 4.30pm-10.30pm; Saturday 12pm-10.30pm; Sunday 12pm-9pm

Booking info:

Book via the website. Dinner for two with drinks usually comes to around £140.

Time Out tip:

You'll find standard steaks on the menu at any time, but to get your pick of the larger blackboard cuts before they’re crossed off, we recommend arriving early. Plus, you'll get the chance to sink a few killer cocktails and settle in for the night.
