Smiths of Smithfield

Grace and Sook Leen both recommended that I try this really cool steak place near Spitalfields Market...

The unique thing about this restaurant is that each of the 4 floors has a distinct style - food, design and atmosphere.

GROUND FLOOR: Gastro pub / bar like level with leather armchairs.

1st FLOOR: Wine room that has a selection of 40 different champagnes and 140 different wines. They even have wine tutorials and wine tasting during the weekends. The wine halls can store up to 2,000 bottles of wine.

PRIVATE FLOOR: That's where they cater for private dining and special occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, meetings and business lunches etc.

2nd FLOOR: The dining room specialising in clay oven and chargrilled food.

3rd FLOOR: The rooftop restaurant with views of the city that is famous for its rare breed, organic and additive free meats accompanied by its fine wine list.

Guess which floor I went to????

....

Hahahaha... yeah... I went to the top floor restaurant... :P

But unfortunately, they ran out of rare breed steak.... hmmph... in the end I went for the pan-fried black sirloin steak... (don't ask me what black sirloin is... the waitress told me that it's supposedly more intense while their park sirloin is more delicate...????)

And for starters, I had half of a Dorset crab served with mayonnaise... the crab meat was really succulent... but regretted it a bit because it was so difficult to eat it gracefully in such a luxurious place!!!



I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves their steak. The steak was really delicious and they have a pretty good wine list to pair each of course.


Definitely worth a visit!
