Soho's steak scene punches harder than most people realise. You've got basement chophouses doing whole roasts and chops for the table, fire-pit restaurants where the meat is aged and butchered in-house, classic French entrecôte with secret sauce, and Argentinian cuts served in one of the neighbourhood's most storied rooms. This is our edit of the best steak restaurants Soho has to offer right now, whatever your budget, however you like it cooked.




temper Soho

Tucked away beneath Broadwick Street you'll find one of the best steak restaurants in Soho, London. At temper, the meat is bought directly from English farms, aged and butchered in-house and then cooked over fire - in fact, the entire eatery is centred around a giant fire pit with counter dining so that guests can watch chefs in action. There's also sleek, leather booth seating for more intimate moments, should you wish to devour your loaded cheeseburger tacos with some level of privacy. The space has a dark, luxurious feel to it, and invites you to feast on slow-grown and pasture-raised rare-breed British cattle served with beef-fate bearnaise, chipotle sour cream, Korean barbecue sauce or bourbon pepper sauce to name a few. 

The Devonshire

Created by Oisin Rogers, Charlie Carroll and Ashley Palmer-Watt, the team behind Guinea Grill and Flat Iron, The Devonshire on Denman Street is one of the most talked-about openings in recent Soho history. Downstairs is a proper boozer; upstairs is where the steak does the talking. The kitchen runs in-house butchery, sources beef from British farms and does it all with the kind of quiet confidence that gets you ranked 45th in the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants 2026. Notoriously hard to book, reservations open every Thursday at 10:30am, three weeks in advance. Worth setting an alarm for.

Steak and Company Piccadilly Circus

LUNCH SPECIALS from £12.95 and 1 other offer

Slap bang in the middle of Piccadilly Circus you'll find Steak and Company, a popular restaurant that specialises in the delicious food. It sports traditional decor in the form of large windows (perfect for people-watching), low-hanging, industrial-style lights, exposed brick walls and wooden flooring. Quality is key here, as it uses a farm-to-fork approach to sourcing and cooking ingredients, serving up Purebred Black Aberdeen Angus from the Southern American countryside. Speciality steaks include Surrey Farm côte de boeuf (£40) and Aberdeen Angus T-bone (£49), while the hot stone experience gets everyone involved, allowing you to cook your cut to personal perfection, serving it with a selection of sauces (green peppercorn, mushroom or bone marrow and red wine jus to name a few).  

Flat Iron Soho

For the most affordable and best steak in Soho, London, head to Flat Iron, located just around the corner from Carnaby Street and spread across three floors. This shabby chic haunt features bare brick, rickety walls, low lighting and a steel bar circling an open kitchen with only a few tables and stools. It also happens to be the first restaurant under the brand name following a successful pop-op in 2012 above The Owl and Pussycat in Shoreditch. You can secure its signature steak here for just £14, then treat yourself to indulgent add-ons like homemade beef dripping chips (£4), crispy bone marrow garlic mash (£4) and truffled macaroni cheese (£5.50).

Blacklock

The best steak Soho has to offer can be found at Blacklock, the award-winning restaurant and chop house founded in 2013 by Gordon Ker, of Hawksmoor fame. It's housed in a former brothel and the well-known 'La Reims' lap dancing club on Great Windmill Street, which also happened to be where salt beef institution Nosh Bar previously laid down its roots. Today it features slinky leather booths and dark, wooden-panelled walls that make up a buzzing dining room. The meat is sourced from Phillip Warren & Son, Cornwall's oldest third-generation farmers and butchers, and is used to create moreish dishes like the 'steak sarnie' and the haunt's signature burger. You can munch on up to 55-day dry-aged Denver (£5) or rump cap (£18), as well as porterhouse (£10 per 100g), alongside beef dripping chips (£4.80).

Sophie's Soho

Founded by childhood friends Rupert Power and Sophie Bathgate in 2002, Sophie's Soho is a modern steakhouse and cocktail bar with a focus on West Country British beef that's dry-aged and butchered in-house. It provides a fun dining atmosphere with a chandelier-lit bar and a custom-built firepit where classics are cooked over charcoal, and English birch and oak wood in the open kitchen. There's also a gorgeous terrace where you can take some famous martinis before tucking into signature slow roasts of prime rib or axe handle ribeye (£95 for 36oz) for dinner. The dry-aged steak burger (£19) is not to be missed either, topped with dill pickle and sweet onion lettuce.

Gaucho Piccadilly

Bringing a slice of Argentina to the UK in the form of premium Black Angus cattle bred at selected farms, Gaucho can be found on Piccadilly (its flagship eatery since opening in 1996) and Charlotte Street in Central London. The first restaurant of its kind opened in the city in 1994 and it has since expanded with outposts across the country. Set in a gorgeous townhouse that used to be the former residence of the Spanish Ambassador, it conjures up an elegant atmosphere thanks to its dark shutters, royal blue velvet chairs and golden light arrangements. Feast on elevated Latin cuisine here, such as churrasco de chorizo, marinated in garlic, parsley and olive oil, or opt for the beef bar sampler, which includes lomo marinated in spicy chimichurri, ancho in tomatillo and chorizo with juniper. Fancy something a little more refreshing? The fillet steak salad is not to be missed, nor is the steak tartare. 

Hawksmoor Air Street

At Hawksmoor Air Street, things are a little different as it teamed up with Mitch Tonks, owner of the Seahorse in Dartmouth, to provide some of the finest catches straight from Brixham Market in Devon. But, fear not, as it still executes its incredible steaks to perfection and is a large reason why its Art Deco room overlooking Regent Street is buzzing on a regular basis. Since being founded by childhood friends Will Becket and Huw Gott in 2005 and first opening its doors in 2006, the eatery has continued to source grass-fed beef from independent British farmers and age it in a bespoke dry-ageing room. Look forward to large cuts of chateaubriand (£15 per 100g), T-bone (£11.50) and juicy fillets (£45 for 300g) paired with bearnaise, peppercorn, bone marrow gravy or anchovy hollandaise.
