The Food
The velvet texture of the chateaubriand is pure melt in the mouth exceptional. It comes accompanied by fresh buttered spinach and delectable hand cut chips and the only missing ingredient is a fine sliver of foie gras on top, just to finish it off. Considering it's hard to find a main meat dish for under £16.00 in a London restaurant, let alone chateaubriand, Sophies Steakhouse definitely scores highly on value for money front.

If you’re not tempted by steak, Sophies also has a beautiful selection of fresh seafood on the menu. Whilst most people undoubtedly come here for the steak, it helps to know there’s an alternative if your partner is not a meat-eater.

The Drink
If you can’t get a table within half an hour, which is rare, the bar’s not a bad watering hole to wait at in anticipation for the delights that follow. The meat can be happily washed down with a bottle of good red wine. If you're not a wine fan, there are a number of reasonably priced cocktails to choose from, both classic and creative types.

The Last Word
Guaranteed to satisfy the heartiest of appetites, Sophies Steakhouse is a rare find for steak lovers. It delivers a wholesome, uncomplicated and mouth-watering experience, with more substance than the usual nouvelle cuisine offering.
