So
I turned another year wiser and the other half turned another year older. And
to celebrate us getting another year closer to the grave, my mates bee and
bottom took us to The Hawkmoors steakhouse at Spitalfields. Now, I knew this
was happening and had to keep my tummy well empty and I’m glad I did.
If
you love your meat, then chances are you have heard of Hawkmoors and if you
have been there you know it’s worth the hype. The restaurant is just a walk
from the Spitalfields Market and oozes British decadence. The interiors are
just lush with brick display walls, leather seating and wooden tables.
We
had reservations for lunch on a Sunday and it was buzzing with people queuing
up. We grabbed our seats next to the window and right in front of the special board
displaying the variety of different cuts of beef.
The
girls had their minds set on the Chateaubriand (the most expensive one) and we
opted for the Porterhouse. The meat is priced according to the quantity you
order, I ordered 900g for the two of us and the girls ordered 800 g between the
both of them. We ordered our meat Medium rare and it was just lush….and by far
the best I have ever had. My taste buds have been too pampered and a bit spoilt
now. It’s difficult to explain just how perfectly tender and moist the meat
was. Another recommended item that we tried out was the Bone Marrow with Onions for starters, which was still
good but did not have much portion-wise and I preferred my Roasted scallops
with white port & garlic. The sauces we had with our meat were the bone
marrow sauce and the béarnaise sauce. And trust me when I say this it was lush
and I am partially drooling as I write this!!!!
Now
the meat just comes on its own so it’s up to you to order your sides we had Anya
potatoes, creamed spinach and roasted field mushrooms and all played a perfect
part in making this the best food I have had in a while. The food was excellent,
if you haven’t figured out yet and the service was excellent. It is a bit up
there price wise but it does deserve at least a onetime visit.
Needless
to say we were stuffed but had enough space to squeeze in one teeny tiny
dessert in the form of the Strawberry &White Chocolate Cheesecake, the Crunchy bar and
the Peanut Butter Shortbread with Salted Caramel Ice-cream….ahhhh Lushhhh!!!!
Bee,
Bottom…the carnivore in me thanks you from the bottom of my hoofs and I have
now realised that I am not drooling and it is in fact my taste buds shedding
tears at the very thought of the lovely food! Respect!
