Hawksmoor-athon I’m a big fan of Hawksmoor, a series of three steakhouses, that serve up some of the best steaks and burgers I have ever had. In a bold attempt at seeing if I have any sense of pacing, moderation, restraint or self-control, I’ll be having each of my three meals in one day at … Continue reading

Spuntino review – Italian and American small plates in Soho
West End bar food with a difference There are plenty of chain and independent restaurants in London, but some straddle this distinction such as the various, apparently independent Polpo restaurants that are all actually part of the same group. Although I have yet to make my way to Polpo or Da Polpo, I have dined … Continue reading
Soho Joe review – cheap Soho pizzas and burgers
There are plenty of cheap restaurants in London, but low prices and high quality cooking don’t always go together. Although Soho Joe servers up burgers, pastas and a grab bag of other Italian dishes, its main selling point is its cheap pizzas. Soho Joe occupies what was once the site of the Dean Street branch … Continue reading
Which is the best posh burger chain in London?
Mickey D’s can go to hell Following my less-than-glowing review of Meatliqour, which generated a fair amount of debate on Twitter, I was asked by @londoneating which was my favourite London burger. The answer to that is simple – Hawksmoor. The succulence and depth of flavour found in their burgers is simply superb, the perfectly … Continue reading
Meatliqour review – why it’s heavily overrated
The burger restaurant that sticks out like a sore thumb As this blog approaches its first birthday, it’s only fitting that I give my opinion on Meatliqour, the successor to pop-up Meateasy which was the first restaurant ever reviewed here at The Picky Glutton. I was impressed by the labour-of-love burgers at Meateasy, but I’ve … Continue reading
Hawksmoor vs Burger and Lobster review – lobster roll head-to-head
Cheap lobster. In Mayfair?! I’ve spilled a lot of ink on this blog about lobster and one of the most enjoyable, but cheapest lobster meals I’ve had was the humble lobster roll at Luke’s Lobster in New York. As far as I know the only restaurants in London to serve the lobster roll are (comment … Continue reading
Danji review – Korean food tapas-style
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. There are a depressingly large number of mediocre chain restaurants in and around New York’s Times Square, but there are some interesting independent eateries near that iconic location if you’re prepared to look around. Danij is a Korean … Continue reading
Hawksmoor Covent Garden Seven Dials review – burgers in a steakhouse
Beautiful, bountiful burger bonanza I’ll tell anyone who will listen about the superb steaks and burgers at Hawksmoor, but just to reinforce the point I decided to pay another visit to the Covent Garden Seven Dials branch one weekday lunchtime. The Euro Hedgie and I managed to snag a table next to the dramatically lit … Continue reading
Red Dog Saloon review – London barbecue redemption in Hoxton?
The Picky Glutton ventures into deepest, darkest Hoxton in search of quality BBQ I have a great fondness for barbecue, but sadly there’s a dire lack of quality American barbecue eateries in London. The vaunted Bodean’s is deeply mediocre while Barbecoa is overpriced, especially for the shockingly variable quality of its food. I have yet … Continue reading

Hawksmoor Seven Dials Covent Garden review – Sunday brunch in a steakhouse
The best steak and burgers I’ve had in London so far There’s no shortage of steakhouses in London, but many of them are merely OK or just plain pants. One of the best is Hawksmoor which was originally based in Spitalfields, but now has a branch in Covent Garden’s Seven Dials and another outpost due … Continue reading
