Blacklock Covent Garden

If you’ve ever been to the original Blacklock in Soho, you already know that it’s one of the best restaurants in London for a quality steak alongside some quality cocktail fun. The Covent Garden location is kind of like Blacklock grew up, got really into tan leather, and started confidently toying around with Whole Foods ingredients. The delightfully charred steak sandwich and all-in meat fest, with beef, pork, and lamb chops, remains. Plus the once worst-kept-secret burger is now firmly on the menu, and you definitely want that on your table alongside the classic beef dripping chips. Thanks to the low-lighting basement feel and selection of steak-ready reds, it’s perfect for a glam date night, or for a fillet and old fashioned one-two punch before a show.
