The Grill on Fifth sits atop Harrods in Knightsbridge, offering a refined steakhouse experience with sweeping views over London. It builds on the legacy of its sister restaurant in the lower dining hall, but with a more elevated, rooftop take on flame-led cooking and luxury ingredients.
The dining room is spacious and contemporary, with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light by day and offer glittering city views by night. Subtle nods to the site’s former life as Studio Frantzén remain in its smooth finishes, modern lines and soft upholstery, which temper the scale of the room and create a setting that feels both grand and comfortable.
The menu is centred on expertly grilled meat, with all steaks selected by the in-house butcher. British beef is aged for a minimum of 32 days in a Himalayan salt chamber, yielding rich depth and texture. Premium cuts include Japanese Kobe striploin, Australian Wagyu sirloin and US Prime ribeye, all cooked to order over charcoal. For those looking beyond steak, the menu features a Wagyu cheeseburger with raclette, rotisserie chicken brined for succulence, and grilled whole lobster thermidor with yuzu dressing. Classic sides such as truffle fries, dauphinoise potato and creamed spinach provide richness and balance throughout.
Drinks show the same level of refinement as the food. Two separate bars offer a concise cocktail list that leans into savoury and seasonal flavours, including a clever twist on the Bloody Mary with beef broth and horseradish. The wine list is extensive, ranging from well-selected options by the glass to rare bottles of vintage Champagne and Burgundy. Knowledgeable staff are on hand to guide pairings based on cut, origin or mood. The rooftop terrace lends itself to a pre-dinner aperitif or a final glass under the city skyline.
Service is polished and warmly professional. The front-of-house team anticipates needs without intrusion, offering thoughtful suggestions with an easy confidence. Regulars often find themselves remembered by name or order, yet newcomers are treated with the same attentiveness. Even at peak times, the rhythm of the room feels measured and calm, shaped by people who know how to host without fanfare.
