Dinner recommendations walking distance to Leicester Square

[MissyB1]

Dh and I are having a Christmas lights/ shopping trip to London the week before Christmas. Staying one night at premier inn Leicester Square.
Can anyone recommend any steak restaurants for dinner in about 20 minutes walking distance? Preferably not a chain.

Flat Iron in Covent Garden

Hawksmoor Air St
Blacklock
Sophie's

I was going to say the same. You have to book but it's a great steak and not that expensive for London.

Flat iron Covent Garden is great would recommend

I’d go with Sophie’s, hawksmoor or flat iron too but there’s also Smith & Wollensky near embankment tube.

Flat Iron, definitely

Couldn’t get into Blacklocks booked up already! Hawksmoor is definitely in the running, I will look at flat iron.
looking up Sophie’s too.

Sushi samba in covent garden. Not just steak but delicious.

I thought Sophie's had closed a while ago?

My go to in the area is Cork & Bottle Wine Bar.
I’m not even a big wine connoisseur but I like the cosy atmosphere, the cheese platters and the beef bourguignon.

I really like flat iron but be aware that the seats aren't very big!

Meat & co 👌

Dirty Bones, Denman St

Zedel's, just off Leicester Square. It's fab, always my go-to place when I have visitors come to London.

10 cases

Polpo in Soho

Sorry totally missed the steak bit with my earlier recommendations. But definitely go to ten cases if you fancy a lovely glass of wines whilst people watching.

But further a field but very easy to get to check out the institution that is Le Relais de Venise l'Entrecôte

Any restaurant in the Chinese quarter?

Just been browsing Cork and Bottle, it does look good! Fab reviews too.

Sheekey's is amazing if you like seafood. (Though I haven't been for a decade) I still think about that meal sometimes.

Temper? It has 4 restaurants across London, but I class mini-local chains as different to the big ones.

Brasserie zedel if you like French food.

Came on to recommend Zedel, although service had substantially gone downhill the last time we were there, unfortunately.

Hawksmoor Air Street, it’s a bit expensive but a really lovely place and specialists in steak

Hawksmoor did look amazing but just can’t justify the prices I’m afraid.

I’ve booked the Cork and Bottle, nice variety on the menu and reasonably priced.
