A New York strip, flame-broiled and finished with an aromatic chimichurri herb sauce, plated with french fries and béarnaise and a spring mix in lemon vinaigrette. This is the plate to order when the occasion calls for something more than a burger in downtown London.
Striploin is the cut for people who want beef flavour with a real bite to it. Flame-broiling gives the outside a proper char while the centre stays where you asked for it, and resting it before it reaches the table keeps the juices in the steak rather than on the plate.
Chimichurri — herbaceous, garlicky and sharp with vinegar — cuts straight through the richness, while béarnaise on the fries takes it in the other direction. A spring mix with lemon vinaigrette keeps the plate balanced. It is our most complete Signature Plate and a regular choice for date nights, birthdays and celebration dinners in the core.

Works in the core
“An excellent addition to downtown London. Friendly staff, a welcoming vibe, and a room that is clearly built for the people who work and live downtown. You end up lingering over the meal instead of rushing back to the office.”

Downtown London guest
“A much-needed new restaurant and cocktail bar in the core. The menu blends flavours from several cultures, and both the food and the cocktails feel elevated but still approachable — great for lunch and for after-work drinks.”
