Dined in 3 January 2024 for a birthday date with my man…read more Whew!! When you see £££ believe it, but add an additional £80 to what you think it might be!! I knew it was pricy, but whew, I was not expecting that!! Color me shocked. As soon as we walked in and saw the dining area, we felt under-dressed for how fancy the setting looked. The lighting looked impressive, the dinnerware was extra sparkly, and the staff looked posh. But, as we walked in, we saw others in sweaters and sneakers. There is a free coat check by the receptionist before you are shown to your seat. She then walks you to your seat and provides the menu before your waitstaff greets you. The view of the bridge lighting up the night from inside is nice if you get a seat near the windows. Our table was more located in the center of the restaurant, but we were still able to have an okay view. Our server was Alessio. He asked for our drinks order: 1x glass of wine, 1x virgin pina colada, and later 1x virgin mojito, then when he returned, he asked if we plan on having steaks. Once I responded yes, he quickly disappeared...I was so confused before he pops back out with a tray of various cuts of steak (see attached image). He then proceeds to explain each cut and recommended pairings. After explaining, he disappears again, assumingly this time to take the tray back. He returned shortly afterward and took our dinner order. We ordered two cuts of churrasco Lomo (we actually wanted the ribeye steak, but I guess he heard otherwise. We didn't fuss.). The steak *was* ahhhmazing!! One steak, for the birthday boy, was topped with a half grilled lobster (yes, grilled lobster is listed on the menu as a "topping"), mashed potatoes, and mac & cheese. The other steak was accompanied with roasted vegetables. I'm not sure what type of vegetables were all there, but a few cubes were not pleasing to taste. The carrots, beet, and potato were good, though. While we were eating, a lady randomly came to our table and started pouring us more water. She did not introduce herself but instead asked if there was anything else we needed. She was dressed differently from the rest of the staff, so her presence was so confusing to me. She disappeared out of sight as quickly as she appeared, before I noticed her again at the receptionist desk. It was the weirdest interaction. Minus the unknown vegetables and the unknown lady, the food was great. The setting was great. There were two other parties there celebrating a birthday as well. I planned on having cake or some other dessert to celebrate, but we were entirely too full to even consider it. We didn't even finish our food and had to take some to-go. After we were done eating and decided we did not want dessert, I asked for the bill fully expecting mid-£100s, but was taken aback when I saw the actual amount. Keep in mind, too, 12.50% gratuity was also added. I'm used to automatic gratuity being added for parties of 5 or more, not for 2 people. Wow. Anyway, I paid and we left. Since we were there to celebrate a birthday, I was okay with the cost as I know it would be thee only time I went there. If you want, I would recommend trying it for a one-time experience, but I'm sure you can get similar food and experience somewhere else for a much better price.

Came here with four friends on a Wednesday evening for a meal. Most of the tables were taken and…read morealthough there was no table for 4 available straight away the waitress moved a couple to an adjacent table and put together a table for four in that place so we were seated almost immediately. The service was good and prompt and our waitress was knowledgeable in their wine list and food. We went for two moo grills (each 2 to share) which contains 200g of flank steak and 200g of sirloin steak, provolone cheese, 2 sausages and grilled tomatoes and onions with two sides each to choose from. The steak was very tender (we went for medium rare) and well seasoned. No sauces or condiments are placed on the table so we had to ask for some. The sausages were OK, could've been better. Total bill came to around £120 for 4 including a bottle of red wine. All in all worth a visit if you're around brick lane and looking for something different than the usual curry houses.

Cocktails, steaks and good wine: what's there not to like?…read more My friends and I were in the neighborhood of Brick lane but weren't in the mood of a curry so we took a chance and went for this Argentinean steakhouse. We were immediately seated, despite not having a reservation on a busy Saturday evening. The waiter was quite helpful in providing menu information and even though we were seated upstairs we were always helped quite promptly. We had some (well quite a lot, actually haha) Argentinian wine: the waiter had knowledge but since we were not very sure, he offered a tasting portion of the ones we were considering! We first had a drink and some loaded nachos: the nachos were just a-ok, nothing too special but our cocktails were not bad, especially considering the happy hour price. As main I went for the 14 oz steak and a side salad (yay for being able to switch sides) which was cooked to perfection. This was honestly one of the better steaks I had in a long while. Even my friend who is not a big beef lover was impressed with the food. In addition, I forgot my scarf and I messaged them afterwards and they were super helpful to trace back my scarf. I am not often around Brick Lane but I will certainly considering going back and recommend Moo Cantina to everyone looking for a good steak meal in London.

I picked this restaurant because they had a Garden Menu special that provided some tasty options…read more My table was outside with a view of pedestrians walking to and fro. I ordered The Highlander (Woodford Reserve Bourbon, Tio Pepe Sherry, Roots Diktarmo, Cherry & Vanilla) cocktail to enjoy while I waited for my meal. This was a very smooth drink. They were offering a complimentary Beef-Fat Washed Old Fashioned (Woodford Reserve Bourbon Old Fashioned with the bourbon infused with nuts and umami-packed beef fat) to Dads. Unfortunately the nut infusion precluded me from trying it. I had a complimentary Old Fashioned instead. It was just as good as The Highlander. My meal consisted of Beef Carpaccio and Steak Salad. The carpaccio was razor thin. Both dishes were delicious. I closed out the meal with the Chocolate Sorbet. This was one of the best meals I had in London on this trip. If you are on a schedule, make sure to let your server know in advance. Otherwise, their leisurely serving pace might stress you out.

A friend who is a pure carnivore suggested a meet (I resisted the pun) up so we ended up there on a Tuesday night. Considering the new financial world we live in, this place is doing well, especially as it has only just opened. The menu is Spanish/ English which reflects the authentic Argentinian feel of the place. The staff seem to have been transplanted over and the decor is much like the parrillas/ steakhouses I went to in Buenos Aires (relaxed and dark decor). We ordered empanadas (fantastic) and a meat platter. The meat platter had blood, sausage and steak. Only the steak disappointed which was just an uninteresting cut. I kind of blame myself and will probably go back and try a different one. That said, I might just go to Hawksmoor instead. All in all an enjoyable meal but the steak was no highlight... and that is kind of why you go right? Price - £50 with some malbec and meat

Choripan was delicious but the fried carne empanada was below the expectations.

Moo Cantina is a small Argentinian chain scattered around different areas of London. This…read moreparticular branch in Middlesex Street is not a place you'll usually find yourself looking for a restaurant unless you live or work in the area. Located near the back of Aldgate Station, the street was pretty empty in the evening and so it was not a surprise that we were first in the restaurant at around 6pm on a weekday. The decor here was pretty standard compared to their other branches which had a bit more colour to it. They went for the casual wooden bar look with dim comfortable lighting. Service was friendly and smiley which made us feel more welcomed in the empty restaurant. For food we went for the following: Argentina chorizo The meal started with the chorizo which was lovely and juicy, full of bounce and flavour unlike the supermarket ones you get. It was dressed with a slice of sweet red pepper which added a nice contrast of softness and drizzled over with chimichurri which added some tanginess from the vinegar and depth of flavour moving away from the red spices and to another variety of herbs that includes parsley and oregano. Provolone cheese A lovely rich cheese seasoned with spices before being grilled till it melted. They did however over salted it which made it hard to consume in large amounts, even with the accompanied toast. Fried beef empanadas Sometimes I still get cravings for their beef empanadas as its one of the best I've had. The pastry was crispy yet doughy and filled with a generous amount of minced beef, packed full of flavour and sweetness with the addition of vegetables and herbs used. Very juicy too. Baked sweet potato empanadas. Even more surprisingly was how good the sweet potato empanadas was. Soft velvety creamed sweet potato consistency in a more thin and delicate pastry. I really enjoyed the sensation of it all melting inside my mouth. Lomito Porteño I had to order their speciality dish, the Argentinian sandwich, similar to a panini being grilled too. We chose one with a rib eye steak in between and it was cooked medium rare as requested. It was good but I have had sweeter better seasoned steak. It was however saved by the other flavours. The salty provolone cheese gave it depth and seasoning whereas the addition of rocket and pepper add not only texture but a lighter refreshing taste. Napolitana lomito I much preferred this lomito. The beef being deep fried with a lovely herby batter gave the sandwich a greater flavour. The addition of ham made it more exciting and the mozzarella added bounce and helped wrapped everything together. All was finished nicely with the tomatoes and lettuce which gave it the moisture and lighter element it needed. Revuelto gramajo. What a great side to have. It was so moreish it was almost gone in an instant. Scrambled eggs with onions, peas and fries. It was fluffy, eggy, fragrant and warm. The ultimate comfort food. Highly recommended! Olivier salad Sadly this was disappointing. The dish consisted of potatoes, peas and carrots in mayo that tasted like it came out of a can. The peas didn't taste fresh and the mayonnaise was poor quality, lacking that rich eggy taste it needed. It was all under seasoned too. So overall the experience was good with some dishes really hitting the spot like the empanadas. For a chain it does well with reasonable prices. Although saying that they have made cuts, like their sandwiches no longer comes with fries. Just don't expect Wagyu steak and you can get a reasonable meal.
