- OTOpenTable DinerManchester/Greater Manchester •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWhat a fantastic place and it embodies Soho. The food was absolutely delicious, the sauces and steak were fantastic. What I really enjoyed was the personalities of the staff, sometimes at other places it can feel faceless but our servers were amazing. The cheesecake was exceptional too, would recommend that! The waitress we had was very funny and we’d love to come back. Cocktails were nice and it was our favourite meal of the few days we’ve had away. Thanks for a great time!More infoBlacklock SohoPrice: Moderate• Steak• Soho•4.7

- OTOpenTable DinerLondon •1 review5.0Dined on 1 Jan 2023One of the best meals I've ever eaten... Came here for a birthday treat with my partner. Everything about the experience was perfect: from the hospitality at reception, the impeccable and friendly service in the bar and restaurant, to the food itself. It's not cheap (although the express menu is very good value) but represents good value for money in terms of the quantity and quality of the food. The steak and lobster were the highlights, but there's something mouth-watering on the menu for all appetites. Highly recommended for a special occasion.More infoHawksmoor Air StreetPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Piccadilly•4.5

Discover London
If dining in the U.K. still evokes lackluster fish and chips or sorry boiled vegetables, it’s time for a trip. Call it the renaissance of British cuisine—from revived and updated bangers and mash to regional authentic Chinese, London has rewritten its own culinary story and now proudly bears the qualities of a veritable food destination. With a population of nearly 8.8 million people and one of the most popular airports in the world, the city is a bastion of cultural and culinary diversity, from an old world Parsi café and forage-forward tasting menus, to rethought English breakfasts and markets of all types. We’ll cheers to that.
