Best steak restaurants

[Fiona T]

For balance

Can't beat Hawksmoor - not cheap but for a special occasion definitely worth it!

[Ian Volante]

Never particularly enjoyed steak. Have once or twice spent twenty-odd quid on one, still would have preferred a nice pie or something.

[Callum Todd]

I've never been to one myself, and I suppose I'm now unlikely ever to, but I've heard that Miller & Carter are good.

Meat is murder

Since I became a pollopescatarian 2.5 years ago, steak as a treat is one of the things I miss most. And pulled pork. And a Big Mac. And anything involving chorizo.

Best steak I had was at a place called La Relais de Venise. Very "city" place but not unreasonably priced. The whole menu is steak and chips and a side salad.

I've done Hawksmoor and the like for work functions. For free, it's great.

It's someone who comes up with a completely arbitrary subset of foods that they're allowed to eat and then finds that they miss certain foods, seemingly not realising that they could instead allow themselves to eat a different arbitrary subset and not miss those things, and make up a new word for that.

Hope that helps.

Vegetarian + fish + chicken. Apologies if that didn't come across in my post.

Peak c4c. The one thing I miss is bacon sandwiches. The smell of bacon cooking on a morning is cruel to me.

Are you vegan?

Exactly this, see my post in the other thread. Pie is great because #variety.

I have been to fancy steak places a few times courtesy of an ex who liked that kind of stuff, there was one in Leeds which google maps has told me is called Blackhouse which was pretty nice but cost like £100 for two of us. Other steak at a proper steak place I've had was one in Bath with a mate who's a chef, at a place called Bar + Block which was apparently good steak despite being built in to the Premier Inn. I say apparently because if this and my other post weren't clear, I'm really not a good judge of this stuff.

Thanks to googling 'steak restaurants leeds' I'm reminded of this Brazilian place my ex and I went to called Fazenda, which had this meaty buffet thing which we both loved - her for the meat, and me for the variety, see my post in the vegan thread. So I guess I recommend Fazenda, for being a steak restaurant that had options for the less steakily inclined (me).

I quite like a steak à cheval, and was rather disappointed to learn two minutes ago that it doesn't actually contain any horse.

[Callum Todd]

Yeah Fazenda is good for variety-loving meat eaters.
