• Steakhouse • Covent Garden
Booked 124 times today
Hawksmoor Seven Dials – Steak, Seafood & Cocktails in Covent Garden.Tucked away in a former brewery just off Seven Dials, Hawksmoor is the spot for seriously good steak, seafood, and cocktails right in the heart of Covent Garden. Whether you’re settling in for a long lunch, grabbing a bite before or after the theatre, or just fancy a perfectly chilled martini at the bar, it’s the kind of place that feels special without being stuffy.The menu is all about top-quality British produce—grass-fed native-breed beef cooked over charcoal, sustainable seafood, and proper seasonal sides. And if you’re around on a Sunday, the roast is not to be missed: dry-aged beef, crispy beef-dripping roast potatoes, and ginormous Yorkshire puddings. Basically, great food, good people, and a place you’ll want to come back to.

    Once more, we had an excellent meal at Balthazar’s. We both selected the PRIX FIXE three course menu. My Pea and Mint soup was superb and for main course I choose the Steak Frites cooked to succulent perfection at medium rare. My wife enthused about the very generous Moules Frites and very much liked the Viognier wine to drink with her main course. The service from all staff was very efficient with a nice attention to detail. We would thoroughly recommend your restaurant to any potential diners who are looking for a first class restaurant, with a very pleasant calm ambience, in the very heart of London - for opera lovers it is an ideal choice since it is so near the Royal Opera House. This was our fifth visit and we will definitely go again. Once more, THANK YOU Balthazar's !!
