Haz St Paul's is an expansive Mediterranean restaurant on Foster Lane, mere yards from St Paul’s Cathedral, right in the heart of the City. But just because the dining room is large, it doesn’t mean this restaurant lacks any soul. Part of a group, founded in 2009 by friends and business partners Haci, Zafer and Ahmed, who give their initials to the restaurant, Haz St Paul’s champions Mediterranean generosity above all else. That means substantial portions, friendly service, and an atmosphere suitable for all occasions, from groups celebrating and colleagues to date night evenings.
The dining room at Haz St Paul’s features high ceilings, solid butcher block-style tables, and lots of natural light thanks to large floor-to-ceiling windows. Running along the length of the space is a large bar, fully prepared to keep you and your table well-watered throughout your meal, while outside you’ll find tables spilling out over the steps to form a terrace area complete with sun umbrellas.
The Haz St Paul’s menu kicks off with meze starters like red lentil soup, cacik, hummus, ezme, and imam bayildi - a roasted aubergine dish with fresh tomatoes, pepper and onion. You’ll also find borek pastries, falafel, and tabule here, all designed to share among the table. It also offers a selection of Turkish mangal dishes, including classic lamb shish with salsa verde, chicken shish, kofte, iskender with mixed chicken and lamb, and a mixed grill for those who struggle to decide.
Seafood options stretch to encompass grilled swordfish steaks and fillet of seabass, as well as prawn and Cornish crab spaghetti, while signature steaks offer up cuts like Black Angus sirloin, Australian wagyu ribeye, and Black Angus fillet. To finish, Haz St Paul’s serves up desserts like baklava, poached pear with vanilla ice cream, chocolate cake, and creme brulee, alongside a host of other crowd-pleasing options.
