Reviews Lutyens Grill

Lutyens Grill is a high-end steak restaurant located in the historic former Midland Bank building in London. The restaurant is set in a beautiful wood-paneled room creating a very sophisticated and elegant atmosphere. The service is excellent, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who are happy to recommend dishes and wines. The menu features a wide selection of steaks, as well as seafood and other dishes. We opted for the Hereford chateaubriand, which was cooked to perfection and served with delicious armagnac sauce. We also tried the fries, which were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. However, I would have preferred a chunkier type of cut. Overall, we had a very enjoyable meal at Lutyens Grill and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a special occasion meal.

Delicious food. Fantastic service and a beautiful setting. They start you off with complimentary bread. It is warm and although a tad salty I still really enjoyed it. I then had the steak tartare which was again really good. It was packed full of capers and flavour. My partner had the scallops with chorizo which were really tasty and well balanced. We both had the filet mignon which were perfectly cooked. We also ordered the dauphinoise potatoes, the Bordelaise sauce and mushrooms. The potato slices for me were a little underdone but the flavour was good and the mushrooms were great. The sauce completed the steak well. At the end of the meal they also gave us complimentary chocolate and kind of jam cube which was interesting. The employees were super attentive. We had tap water and there wasn't a single moment my glass was empty. They clear the table in good time and I don't feel we had to wait long for our meals. They opened the door for us and took our coats but given the price mark I guess you are paying for good service. (It cost us £180 for the meal and that was without any drinks). The restaurant is in the Ned where there are other bars and restaurants with a live band in the middle. You do have to leave the restaurant and go downstairs to go to the toilet which felt quite far away but they were clean. It's set in an old bank so it looked pretty cool and you can see the vault door downstairs. Outside was the highlight for me though; it's surrounded by beautiful buildings and just a short walk from the Royal Exchange. You can walk to the restaurant from London Bridge. It takes just 17 minutes and gives you an opportunity to get some nice photos and burn off some of the meal 😉.

Faultless service, food and atmosphere. I had a soup starter and the iberico chop. Husband had scallops and steak. Proper old school vibe and menu but I liked the fact that there was a really diverse bunch of people there enjoying themselves, not just a city gent place. Can’t wait to return.

Utterly delicious food, top class friendly service. Went there for a midweek late lunch for two and what a treat it was. I started with the scallops, they were delicious and beautifully presented (see photo). For main course I had the New York strip, the best steak I have eaten in a very long time. My partner had a soup starter and the Iberico pork chop, for sides we shared truffle mash, a salad and some chips. All perfect. The whole experience was flawless and delightful. Great to see London so full of people out enjoying themselves, just like the old days. The central area of the Ned and all of the surrounding bars and restaurants were heaving with people having fun.

Absolutely recommend!! We went on Friday night. Great ambience, outstanding service, high quality foods. We will be back! Really enjoyed the whole experience! Every single dish we ordered, were very tasty and authentic! When you step out the Lutyenes restaurant, it does get a bit noisy (maybe because it was a friday night).
