9 London steak restaurants have been named in the 101 best in the world for 2026

World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants has unveiled its latest prestigious list, and several London steakhouses make the cut.

Meat lovers, your time is now, as eight London steakhouses have been named in the new and appropriately blood-thirsty list of the 101 Best Steak Restaurants in the World for 2026.

This list of the finest steakhouses known to humanity includes top rated London location; Ibai in Farringdon. 

Ranking at number seven overall, the list singled out Ibai for being one of the most ‘distinctive grill-led restaurants in London, not because it tries to reinvent Basque tradition, but because it takes it seriously and applies it with judgement.’ High praise indeed. ‘Ibai knows exactly what it’s doing – if you take your meat seriously (and have the cash to spare), you’ll be booking a table now,’ said our own review. 

The second highest ranking London steak restaurant was the brand new branch of Hawksmoor in St Pancras, which opened at the end of 2025, and we reviewed here.

The new Hawksmoor can be found in the grand dining room at what is now the St Pancras Hotel, designed in 1873 by the daddy of gothic revival architects, Sir George Gilbert Scott. ‘The room is dramatic, but the cooking is not trying to match it with theatre. Classic cuts are treated seriously and served with the kind of accuracy that separates a good steak restaurant from a great one,’ said the 101 steak restaurants folk.

Other London restaurants in the 101 ranking included Brat in Shoreditch at number 17, Lutyens Grill in the City at 35, The Devonshire in Soho at 45, Chelsea Grill in, naturally, Chelsea at 55, Sagardi in Shoreditch at 90, Zoilo in Marylebone at 96, and Guinea Grill in Mayfair at 99.
