If you love a concept restaurant, then step this way as we introduce you to Beast. This unique offering asks the diner to imagine that they have been walking land and sea since the dawn of time, at one with nature and its bountiful gifts. Through a menu of high quality meats and seafood, diners are encouraged to connect with a selection of global producers and unique plethora of ingredients.
The restaurant is located within the warren of streets just a few moments from Oxford Street, and with an intentionally ambiguous entrance, offers a sort of 'man cave' to sink into once inside. Imagine rustic, exposed brick walls, long dining tables and suspended candlelight, within a colour scheme of earthy, natural hues.
If you're hankering for a closer look at the menu, expect to see the likes of whole Norwegian king crab, alongside globally sourced steaks such as chateaubriand, ribeye, porterhouse or sirloin. There is also a Japanese selection featuring Sakura pure Japanese Wagyu, and the restaurant holds an official Kobe bronze statue.
There's also some delicious-sounding cold dishes like bluefin tuna tartare with pomelo, chilli and lime, as well as burrata with caponata, pesto and pine nuts.
When it comes to desserts, we like the sound of the berry semifreddo with mint caviar, as well as the cheesecake with pistachio crumble. And, what goes perfectly with dessert? Cocktails of course! The team have devised a whole list of house signatures including Jalisco’s Cup with Corazon blanco tequila, berries and chilli shrub and Bruxo mezcal, as well as Bear takes on classics, like the Dry Daiquiri with Plantation 3 star rum, citrus, passion fruit and Campari.
And, if you're looking for somewhere to host your next special occasion, you could book in for the eight-course tasting menu, or enquire about hiring the restaurant exclusively for your use. It would make a great backdrop for a party.
