Raising the steaks in Mayfair

27th October 2008, 2:52pm

A New York style steakhouse is coming to the heart of Mayfair in London at the end of next month.

Formerly Jamie's Bar, The Goodman comprises a 75 cover main dining room and a 30 cover private dining room, with an additional 16 cover pavement terrace.

Maddox Street in Mayfair is the first Goodman to open outside Russia, where it is renowned for its perfect steak in Moscow since 2003. The restaurant is named in honour of jazz legend Benny.

The eatery will also be the first UK restaurant to have an on-site dry ageing room. It will hold individual cuts of beef according to factors including cattle breed, age, growth history, carcass quality and marbling for up to 40 days.

Head chef John Cadieux, previously at Monk's Grill and Bar in Whistler, British Columbia, and his team will cook each steak to order on a specially imported charcoal-fired grill to the exact internal temperature requested. Signature cuts are 9oz fillet, 12oz New York strip sirloin and 14oz ribeye.

In addition to steak, the all-day menu will also feature starters such as organic salmon carpaccio with tomato seeds and passion fruit; and veloute of Jerusalem artichoke with white truffle oil. Alternatives include braised beef cheek with gnocchi and spinach; and Label Anglaise chicken with lemon and thyme.

And white chocolate and peanut butter parfait and warm plum frangipane tart with cloted cream are just some of the dessert options.

The menu is complemented by an 80-strong wine list.
