Blacklock Shoreditch

<doubaocanvas type="text/markdown" identifier="london-blacklock-steakhouse" title="🇬🇧 London Must-Eat Steakhouse: Blacklock ✨" genre=""> If you’re a steak lover visiting London, Blacklock is NON-NEGOTIABLE—this spot serves up meaty, flavorful goodness that’ll have you craving seconds (or thirds!) 😍 Let me walk you through my mouthwatering meal at Blacklock Shoreditch—every bite was a treat, with a few standouts that deserve all the hype! ### 🍄‍🟫 Mushrooms on Toast | £7.5 Start your meal with this cozy, indulgent starter—you won’t regret it! 🤤 Slices of bread are piled high with creamy, buttery mushrooms tossed in a sauce that’s *oozing* with milky richness, plus a subtle whiff of truffle that elevates the whole thing. The only tiny flaw? The bread underneath is a little firm at first—but here’s the hack: let it soak up that mushroom sauce! Once it’s drenched, it turns soft, savory, and totally delicious. A perfect way to warm up your taste buds for the main event! ### 🥩 Prime Rib | £10/100g This is the STAR of the show—*run*, don’t walk, to order this! ⭐️ We went all in with a 650g portion, and it was pure perfection. The meat is top-tier: cooked to absolute ideal doneness, so every slice is tender enough to cut with a fork, and juicy enough that it drips with flavor. The bits with a little fat on the edge? *Chef’s kiss*—they’re crispy, salty, and packed with that mouthwatering beefy aroma that makes steak so iconic. I kept going back for more—this prime rib is why Blacklock is a London staple. 10/10, *100% recommend*! ### 🦴 Garlic Marrow Spread | £4.5 Unfortunately, this one was a miss for us 😕 It’s garlicky roasted bone marrow, and don’t get me wrong—the garlic flavor is bold and the marrow itself is tender and well-cooked. But here’s the problem: pairing it with the rich, juicy prime rib? It’s *way* too heavy. The combination of fatty marrow and fatty steak makes every bite feel greasy, and it takes away from the steak’s deliciousness. Save your money for other sides—this one isn’t worth it. ### 🥗 Broccoli & Walnut Salad | £5 This salad is the *perfect* side for your steak—trust me! 🥦 The broccoli is tossed in a creamy dressing that’s light (not heavy!) and has a subtle milky sweetness, plus crunchy walnut pieces for texture. Best of all? The broccoli still keeps that satisfying crispness—no mushy veggies here! It cuts through the richness of the steak like a dream, adding a fresh, refreshing bite that balances out the meal. Do yourself a favor and add this to your order—you’ll thank me later! ### 🍰 White Chocolate Cheesecake | £7.5 Dessert lovers, THIS is the one you need to save room for—*it’s life-changing*! 🤩 Let’s break it down: crunchy white chocolate shavings on top, smooth creamy cheese, a light and fluffy cheesecake layer, and a buttery, crispy biscuit base. The milkiness is next-level, but it’s *never* too sweet—just rich enough to feel indulgent, without leaving you stuffed. And it’s lighter than your average cheesecake—fluffy, not dense. We split one between two people, and we both agreed: it wasn’t enough! We could’ve easily eaten a whole one each. *Super recommended*! ### 📌 Pro Tips for Your Visit - Check the blackboards! 🖤 The restaurant uses big blackboards to list available steak cuts and weights—and they mark items with an ❌ as soon as they sell out. When we were there, staff were crossing things off left and right, so we had to order fast! If you have your heart set on a specific cut or weight, book an early table to avoid disappointment. - Location: Blacklock Shoreditch 📍 28-30 Rivington St, London EC2A 3DZ, UK Blacklock isn’t just a steakhouse—it’s an experience.
