The discreet entrance to Hawksmoor, famed for its high quality steaks

Hawksmoor Spitalfields

Top choice in Clerkenwell, Shoreditch & Spitalfields


You could easily miss Hawksmoor, discreetly signed and clad in black brick, but dedicated carnivores will find it worth seeking out. The dark wood and velvet curtains make for a handsome setting in which to gorge yourself on the best of British beef. The Sunday roasts (£22) are legendary, but it's the place in London to order a steak.

Hawksmoor has sprouted a mini-empire around London and beyond, with five more restaurants dotted around the city, including branches in the City and the West End, plus outposts in Manchester and Edinburgh.

The candlelit bar downstairs is a sleek spot to continue the evening.
