The Best Steakhouses Near The Set, by the Record
-
Rank 1. Aragawa
Japanese Steakhouse
Tajima Wagyu over binchotan charcoal, seasoned with nothing but salt and pepper, is essentially the whole menu at this Japanese steakhouse tucked into Mayfair. The cuts are serious enough that the restraint feels earned rather than fussy. The room has the feel of a very composed private living room, which either puts you at ease or makes you wonder if you've wandered into the wrong flat.

Rank 2. Chelsea Grill
Steakhouse
Wood-fired and dry-aged on the King's Road, Chelsea Grill is a steakhouse that takes British provenance seriously, working directly with farmers and letting the beef do the talking. The room is warm timber and soft light, the kind of place that feels polished without trying to remind you of it. It landed on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list at number 55, and the kitchen's restraint makes that feel like a natural fit rather than a surprise.
