Harden's survey result
Summary
“They pull back the curtain when you enter to reveal a small dimly lit room that transports you to Buenos Aires”, say fans of Diego Jacquet’s “cosy Argentine space” just off Manchester Square (his other steakhouse, Bochinche, is in Singapore). It’s a low-key, high-quality operation of over a decade’s standing, with “professional service” and “great steaks, as you’d expect”: “superb meat from the Pampas complemented by savoury Chimichurri sauce”, all matched with a thoughtful wine list. (So, ideal for a conspiratorial business get-together). Top Menu Tip – you pay for this high-quality experience, but “at lunchtime, their prix fixe, including the beef and bone marrow burger, braised ox cheeks, provolone and onions for £24.90 is simply a revelation and extraordinary value for money”.
Summary
“My ‘go-to’ lunch restaurant in the West End” – “the moment they pull back the curtains you enter a cosy, dimly lit part of Buenos Aires” at this Argentinian spot near the Wallace Collection, from well-travelled chef-patron Diego Jacquet (ex-El Bulli and Aquavit New York). “Lovely calm service adds to the romantic atmosphere”. Top Menu Tip – “the Bife de Ancho (ribeye) is simply sensational: not to be missed”.
Summary
“Small, personal and romantic, with serious food for meat fans” – an Argentinian venue near the Wallace Collection in Marylebone, run by chef-patron Diego Jacquet, who trained in his native Buenos Aires under the legendary Francis Mallmann and worked at El Bulli in Spain and Aquavit in New York. Top Tip – “set lunch is a bargain”.
Summary
Grilled beef, both Argentine and British, is the star of the show at Argentinian chef-patron Diego Jacquet’s comfortable modern outfit near the Wallace Collection – and, after more than a decade, it “hasn’t lost the quality”, while the “service is always good and friendly”. Oenophiles enjoy the range of Argentinian wines, while the prix fixe lunch is a steal.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"Lunch venue with a friend, discrete and charming restaurant quite close to Oxford Street, friendly and attentive service; took a section of small plates, particularly enjoyed the beef and pepper tartare and the scallops, price reasonable for location and quality"
