Sagardi Basque Country Chefs is part of SAGARDI GROUP, a large restaurant group championing Basque Gastronomy since 1996, founded by Chef Iñaki López de Viñaspre.

London is the 30th restaurant to launch and is situated in the centre of one of London's most bustling food and drink hubs, Shoreditch.

Simple, healthful cooking including meat and fish grilled over hot coals, marmitako stews, txistorra sausage, Idiazabal sheep’s cheese, “txipirones” (baby squid) and “roxario” salted cod omelette.

If you take your steak as seriously as the Basques do, relish in the restaurants premium red meat Txuleton (chuleton in Spanish) or Txuleta; enormous rib steaks from fattened, old cows that have lived in complete freedom with a 100% natural diet (min 6 years old).

Boasting an array of crafted beverages, a collection of over 200 wines, exquisite champagne, G&T´s, cocktails, traditional Basque vermouth and cider, trendy “perron” glasses and the famous TXAKOLI.

Multiple dates available

Couldn’t literally stop from eating the delicious croquetas. The txuleton was cooked to perfection and the sides were very tasty too. The guy from Valencia who looked after us was delightful. Price is a bit high

The main event, the steak was amazing. The overpriced sides were ridiculously tiny. Creamed chad was a tiny sauce with a tea spoon. Maybe you get 4 teaspoons. Delicious but tiny. Mashed potatoes was a tiny portion in a bowl. Maybe seven teaspoons. Been eating here for years, but I think value is falling. Prices on website are out of date.

I’d say a solid 9/10. The steak was fantastic and the service was good. Got a free glass of wine because they were a bit slow with our main but overall very nice restaurant.

First time we’ve dined in this restaurant and certainly won’t be the last. The dinning area is really well fitted out with the attention to detail being first class from the “butchers shop” where you pick your own meat to the open charcoal fire where the chefs prepare excellent steaks. For London,the gaps between the tables are a lot better than most of the restaurants in the area making for a good dining experience. The food is extremely flavoursome and perfectly seasoned with rustic presentation which adds to the country style food theme. Good quality wine and first class service which makes this a little gem in the heart of vibrant Shoreditch.

We followed our waiter’s recommendations who considered everyone’s dietary needs. It seemed like a lot of food, but we cleared everything and left feeling fed with perfectly proportioned food that was delicious. It is my third visit and certainly not my last.

We really enjoyed our Sunday roast. The food was divine - especially grilled kale and cabbage, im highlighting them because it was totally unexpected that veggies can be soooo good! The stake and Basque cheesecake was so delicious too! The ambiance, service were top. We will definitely come back

The food was very tasty but portions too small. We went for the Sunday roast and a board came out with little amount of sides and sauce. When we asked for more they didn’t seem to provide. The bill was just under 150 and we had to go get more food elsewhere! Should of complained really.

Place looks beautiful and staff is very attentive, a minor call on delivering bills and accepting payment which too a little too long Food whilst tasty we felt the nanny dishes would be the best of the best, but just haven’t had that extra ompth tht we were expecting The matured meat was delicious although a tad too tough, but really good nonetheless Reception/reservations team called saying that there was a system glitch and they were super professional and attentive and in the end we were accommodated in the main dining room, so kudos to them

Left with whatever steak sizes were on the board! Turned out incredibly expensive compared to what was on the menu. Sat within half a foot of other guests which was awkward and the food was okay. Service was absolutely brilliant though to be fair.

Excellent food and service in a relaxed but stylish environment. We had the barbecued monkfish which was cooked to perfection in a simple but very tasty sauce. The only one small comment is that single portions of barbecued fish or meat seemed to be unavailable and the minimum portion of fish we had was too much for two of us. Perhaps consider single portions? We would love to try the barbecued beef next time which looked superb.

Polite and attentive service, excellent dishes with a surprise complimentary starter, and an extensive list of drinks to suit any occasion. The vibe was relaxed and subdued when we visited, and the allowed for perfect absorption into the dining experience. Sharing steaks are great, but above the average cost for a good steakhouse. The rest of the Basque cuisine on offer is phenomenal, and good value for a high end dining venue. Worth a visit, and explore the menu!
