Meat you there

Beefbar is a modern Michelin-starred steakhouse serving up homemade pasta and exquisite cuts of beef, right in the heart of SoHo. Patrons can expect dishes such as black angus filet carpaccio, traditional beef tartare and milk-fed veal filet tartare. Cooked options include steaks and seafood, such as Japanese Kagoshima rib-eye steak, a 50/50 Kobe angus burger with yuzu chipotle sauce or pan-fried king prawns with sour potato and mesclun. Pair it all with a glass of aged Macallan whisky or one of their signature martinis. The chic décor and a laid-back atmosphere make Beefbar an ideal place for a power lunch or a relaxed, sumptuous dinner with friends.
