Top 10 things to know about London Steakhouse Co. City:

1) Amateur sleuths might be able to deduce from its name that London Steakhouse Co. City is a steakhouse located in the City of London - a hop and a skip from Liverpool Street Station, in fact.

2) More specifically, it’s a particularly classy and understated steakhouse, ideal for smart and beautiful people such as yourself. It’s a great venue for a date, for a slap-up meal among friends, or just to unwind after a week’s toiling in the capital.

3) The main room is below street level, wrapped in smoky mirrors and warm low lighting - entering through the main door feels akin to sliding into a steamy bubble bath after a long day.

4) And that’s before we even get on to the food, which is seriously impressive – wedges of grass-fed beef with just enough sides, toppings and sauces to keep things interesting. But the meat does the bulk of the work here, and does it well.

5) The staff will help you out with handy descriptions of the different cuts on offer, just in case you’re unable to pass yourself off as a beef connoisseur in front of your date.

6) Case in point: they’ll also pair your meal with a vintage bottle of wine, while classic and house cocktails are available to loosen tongues and grease wheels even further, if need be.

7) Starters include a mean chicken liver parfait, and burrata salad – the ideal prelude to the meat mayhem that lies ahead (and again: I use the term “meat mayhem” in the classiest way possible).

8) There are vegetarian options available too, naturally, but let’s face it: the clue’s in the name. If you are of the belief that cows are a man’s best friend, this probably isn’t the place for you…

9) And finally, for dessert: a nice slab of pecan pie or ramekin of lemon posset with raspberry coulis to ease you into a full-on food coma. The hardest part of the evening is manoeuvring out of your chair and back out the door.

10) So, to recap: London Steakhouse Co. City. “Steak” being the operative word. Not the place for a quick bite and a catch-up, but rather a seriously satisfying and drawn-out capper to a week in the City. Your date will thank you later!
