Bar + Block is a casual brasserie style restaurant that straddles the Atlantic, delivering a mixture of North American diner-style plates and British classics. Think American steakhouse but none of the stuffiness, just accessible food and drink menus that have something for everyone. The Hammersmith location is just a minute or two's walk from Hammersmith station, making this a doddle to get to.
The main attraction here is the steak - Bar + Block serves up quality, hand cut steaks, letting you choose from a range of traditional (rump, ribeye, sirloin and fillet) and speciality (spiral cut, bone-in, surf and turf) cuts, that come with a huge range of delicious sides. If you're not a steak person, no problem - choose from handmade burgers, chicken or a mixed grill from the charcoal grill, or a big sharer from the grazing plates menu that includes Asian crispy beef, sticky wings, loaded nachos and salt and pepper squid.
Steak may be the main event here, but Bar + Block also has a meat free menu with some solid vegan and vegetarian options. Try the Sloppy Joe Burger - a vegan patty, loaded with vegan cheese slice, burger sauce and a sloppy joe mix of green lentils, mixed peppers, soya and chipotle, or get stuck into chargrilled veg with chimichurri, naches and cauliflower wings.
Bar + Block is equally exhaustive on the drinks front, with something for everyone between cocktails, mixers, beer and cider on tap and a healthy wine selection too.
