  • Small, compact menu suited to sharing several dishes rather than one main each
📖

Full description

Belly has built a strong local following around a compact, well-executed menu — steak tartare, scallops, and mussels all get specific praise from reviewers, alongside a steak dish one diner rated above most others they've had in London. Portions on some dishes run smaller than expected relative to price, according to a couple of reviews, though the overall quality doesn't seem in question.

At 4.4 stars and expensive pricing, it suits a proper sit-down dinner for a couple or small group rather than a casual bite, with booking required reflecting its popularity despite a relatively modest review count. It's well suited to an evening focused entirely on the food.

Reviews

Loved the food there, every single dish tasted amazing though the portions of some dishes seemed a little small. The steak’s honestly better than most steaks I’ve had in London. The cocktails felt a bit more basic in comparison to the food. Was rushed out at the end as they had loads of back to back bookings, but…
