Goodman London

Goodman sits at 24-26 Maddox Street, capturing the mid-afternoon spillover from the nearby boutiques. It holds the no. 54 spot on the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants list, with a menu focused on grills and modern international plates.

The room runs smart and elegant, but it lacks the stuffy pretension often found in the surrounding Mayfair dining circuit. The kitchen avoids the performative theatrics of its neighbours, focusing instead on a straightforward, high-standard approach to the grill. This is the place to book if you want a reliable steak without the pressure of an overly formal service style, making it a choice for those who value the quality of the cut over the theatrics of the dining room.
