A London institution, Goodman Mayfair has been serving premium steakhouse fare since 2008, centred on dry-aged cuts cooked over charcoal. The concept is straightforward: great steaks, an extensive wine list, attentive service, and an atmosphere that works for business lunches as well as relaxed dinners. Menus feature a range of carefully sourced steaks, from USDA corn-fed beef from Nebraska to rare British breeds and premium Australian and Japanese cuts.
Interiors showcase the classic Goodman look, combining dark wood panelling, leather booths, and low-hanging pendant lamps that create a warm ambience. It feels intimate, without being overly formal. Chalkboards display the top cuts selected by chefs that day from the dry ageing room. This is ‘The Cut’ menu, packed with perfect steak options priced by the gram. It changes regularly, but has been known to feature Australian wagyu ribeye, UK Angus Cross porterhouse, and Nabraskan bone-in sirloin.
On the a la carte menu, you’ll find plenty of other steak options, including steaks hand-selected exclusively for Goodman. And, if you’re not in the mood for steak, other main dish options include The Goodman Burger with smoked British bacon, Comte, lettuce and tomato; grilled corn fed chicken; and turbot on the bone with green chutney and grilled lemon.
For the full Goodman Mayfair experience, starters are a must. Options span from the classics - think Irish Steak tartare, Maldon oysters, and scallops with celeriac puree - to globally inspired dishes like XL Puglian burrata with tomato and fig balsamic, and prawn tempura with gochujang mayo.
To finish, expect deserts like traditional tiramisu, strawberry semifreddo, white chocolate creme brulee, and a cheese selection for those who prefer to stick to the savoury side. As for drinks, you’ll find Vesper Martinis, and signature serves like the Goodman Manhattan, and the Goodman Martini, which features green olives stuffed with Stilton. The wine list, meanwhile, offers an impressive selection of steak-friendly Old and New World bottles.
