"Housed in the old Grade II-listed courthouse building on Deansgate, Hawksmoor has a refined aesthetic that perfectly complements its best of British menu offering. Widely regarded as the best steakhouse in the city, everything is a labour of love here – from the beef to the wine, to the cocktails and puddings. If you struggle to get a table, there’s sometimes room in the bar."

"Hawksmoor opened in early 2015, but the steakhouse has style and character that suggests it’s been there for years.

The menu, like the décor, is classic and refined."
