SAGARDI London in Hackney

Food was ok, service was poor，I wanted to eat it again before leaving the UK, but luckily I didn't get to eat it because I was kicked out.

The beef was really tasty but slightly chewy. Awkward atmosphere. The staff weren't very energetic or attentive. Had high expectations but wouldn't visit again.

I had a reservation with my girl on a Saturday afternoon. The host sat us down at the table mentioning that they need the table back in 2h which is fine plenty of time for 2ppl, if it wasn’t that we had to wait 1h before the order was taken. We ordered 1.2kg of Txuleton cow which arrived cold and out of 1.2kg probably just 350g was meat the rest was a massive bone right in the middle. We had some sides which they were fine and a nice bottle of red. Overall the food was ok but definitely not worth it the money, service below the standards for London hospitality if you think of 12.5% service I had to pay (£30). Worth it to try, but didn’t left me satisfied.

Best steak I’ve had in London!! Beautiful wine selection. Great staff and chefs. Lovely atmosphere. Not a big fan of the artichokes or cheese, but personal preference

Great service and amazing tastes. Highly recommended. Next to have Sunday roast.

Food was amazing and the staff were amazing too. Such a great restaurant. 👌🏾👍🏾

Disappointing food. Lacklustre flavour, small portions, ridiculously expensive for what they serve. We ordered coke which charged at £3.5 and didnt even give us the can or bottle, just half of a small glass. The lamb trotters were just bones, took me less than 6 minutes to finish the plate while spending most of it picking the bones out. Lettuce salad dish had more raw onions than lettuce. Everything was underwhelming and disappointing. Save your hard earned money and spend it somewhere else better

The best Basque food in London. If you visit, order a good bottle of wine (from their large repertoire of bottles) and an old beef steak. Great restaurant, exquisite food and great service.

A man called Leo served us and refused us a table even when there was no one at the restaurant he’s been told to not take any bookings but there wasn’t even 1/3 of the restaurant full.Was very rude and once we booked online and confirm the booking still told us there was nothing we could do very rude would never come back awful service.

Fabulous steak, welcoming and attentive staff. We'll be back!

Great restaurant with great service

Great Service and damn good steak

Sunday lunch at 📍Sagardi, #shoreditch We tried a combo of the Sunday roast menu and the premium steak on the board. They specialise in matured ex-dairy cow steaks. Everything was good and the flavour of the steak was intense. #txuleton #steak #sundayroast

had dinner with friends and it was special. excellent food and service. we will definitely return!

What else to say, 5 stars guaranteed. Starting from the delicious and well-crafted dishes, the exceptional and tasty meat, the excellent service and the very cozy atmosphere. Would definitely recommend for everyone who is looking for a perfect stake house

Food was great 10/10, tables are bit close to each other so you feel like you sit with other people. 3 people with the best meat with full sides and starteo £350 with drinks included, i think thats decent

5/5!!!! We loved: the food, the service and the ambiance. The meat was just incredible, and the wine, fabulous. A very nice evening felt like with locals

Great food. Great wine. Great service. A really enjoyable experience

Thanks Alex! Amazing service ❤️

It is never disappointing to come to Sagardi. The meat is of highest quality and cocked with love. The wine cellar is impressive offering rare Spanish wines!

Great love it, will be back again

The steak was terrible and isn’t worth that money. I decided to pay that much for a small portion of steak because it looked amazing in the Instagram advertisement, but in reality, it wasn’t like that. Not only was the steak horrible, but even the other dishes were lacking flavor. Apart from the atmosphere and the variety of wines, there isn’t anything interesting.

Fue una cena perfecta, el vino y la txuleta fueron una delicia. Hay que nombrar a Pedro y Sintia por su servico impecable!

Over priced. Food is good but not as good as the price suggests. Tuna starter was almost microscopic. £10 for a couple of slithers of fish on toast. Gritty kale, “twice cooked wedges” were just overcooked wedges. Our waiter tried to take our monkfish (£98) sauce and seemed to think it weird that we would want it. I won’t be back.

Brilliant- try the monkfish! Can't wait to go back.

Best steak in London. Fantastic wine list. Differentiated starters.

Croquettes, red tuna and the Galician beef were extremely good. The service was prompt and your staff have very high standards of customer service. I’ve already rebooked.

Beautiful restaurant. Excellent starters. Great dry-aged steaks. Outstanding desserts - the cheesecake and the traditional cuajada are incredible.

Every dish was very delicious! Especially the Basque sausage! We were so full we could hardly walk afterwards. Would definitely go back again.

Very good food ! Excellent service ! 100% new costumer

Fantastic place always again. The steak was grandios, the staff was friendly and helpful and the overall atmosphere was great. I can recommend the cheesecake as well. Really great experience we will be back.

Delicious food! Service was brilliant. Would recommend to everyone!

Recommended to carnivorous friends, the very delicious charcoal-grilled bone-in steaks, and a lot of good wine to choose from. My sons ate more than 3kg of meat, a very satisfying and satisfying meal. Will come again next time~

Great T-bone steak. Greater croquettes. Absolutely AMAZING croquettes.

Stake was not prepared correctly (no rested or salted) Over 1,1kg stake took only 20min to prepare. After giving feedback to waiter, he ignored us. The actual dry aged premium meet was good. We left diassapointed and unsatisfied.

Great Basque restaurant. Amazing ribeye.

Sagardi delivers an exceptional experience for anyone seeking authentic Basque cuisine. From start to finish, the dishes exhibit careful preparation, fresh ingredients, and traditional techniques that pay homage to Basque culinary traditions. Food Highlights: • Txuletón (Grilled Beef): The highlight of the meal, the beef is aged to perfection, showcasing a smoky exterior and tender, juicy interior. This dish is a testament to Sagardi’s expertise in grilling. • Starters: Pintxos like the anchovies, olives, and guindilla peppers skewers bring a punch of umami and acidity, balancing the richness of the other dishes. The croquettes are golden, crisp, and bursting with flavor, a must-try. Basque Cheesecake: Served with a rich, tangy berry sauce, the cheesecake has a perfectly caramelized top and creamy interior, making it an irresistible dessert. • Arroz con Leche (Rice Pudding): Creamy, subtly sweet, and lightly dusted with cinnamon, this dessert is comforting and nostalgic, capturing the essence of Basque flavors. Atmosphere and Service: The atmosphere is simple and functional, keeping the focus on the food rather than the surroundings. The staff is professional and efficient, ensuring the meal proceeds smoothly without being overly engaging. Final Thoughts: Sagardi is a must-visit for those looking to explore the culinary richness of the Basque region. With its meticulously crafted dishes and focus on authentic flavors, it offers a memorable dining experience centered on exceptional food.

Service is pretty horrendous for such pricey menu , mediocre food

La comida era buena, no increíble pero bueno. El servicio estaba bien, pero de nuevo, no es increíble. El filete fue descrito muy bien y era sabroso, pero no tan increíble como las críticas afirman

Came here with a friend on his recommendation. We had a drink and three courses, and the bill came to over £140 per person which seems OBSCENELY expensive. We had the basque steak, and it was okay - I’ve had much much better steaks at other restaurants and this could not justify the price. Service was good but not fast or attentive. Won’t be returning

Had a great time here and the food was unreal! Steak was perfection. Highly recommend

Amazing steaks, starters, and sides. Excellent wine and sidra selection as well. Staff was super friendly and we had just the most incredible meal.

Incredible meat and wine list! Spacious. Relaxing.

Weird Sunday lunch. Sad dry potatoes. Steak was good though

I want to thank the cow 🐄 for the sacrifice 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

We chose 850 grams of premium meat. The meat also had a serious smell, even when it came to the table to choose, it smelled strong, we really didn't like it, and it was too nerve-racking to cut it with our teeth. The spinach side plate that came with it was very heavy, the smashed potato was nice but unusual. The place was very crowded and cramped, so there was an intense smell, I don't understand how it got such high scores.

Some of the best beef I've tasted. Incredible flavour. Melts in your mouth. Leeks were also surprisingly good.

It is absolutely the best meat I've ever had in London so far! Perfectly cooked, well presented, absolutely flavourful! As a starter I loved the leek which is the most underrated vegetable but they made it beautifully! It is very pricey tho! We've spent 100£ per person!

Food was amazing as always. Great service from the guys. Continues to be a favourite of mine. Thanks. Mike

The steak was excellent. The wine was perfect. The service was brilliant. A great experience. Will definitely go back.

The food was good but not great, and for the price you'd expect greatness. Service was very good. Glad I've been, but I wont be coming again.

Amazing service, food and detail!! Would highly recommend it and definitely visiting again.

Best Steaks in London. Simple and easy menu. Great wines and the best steaks. This is for the meat lovers. Quality!!

Brilliant service and the food is unreal. Great experience.

ABSOLUTELY the best steak we have had! HIGHLY recommend this restaurant and would come again.

The best steaks I've had in London. Great service from our waiter who chose two cracking wines to go with the food. Quite pricey place so if your on a budget be mindful. All in all a must visit to get the Basque experience. Please ensure to try the cheesecake!

Very nice place with amazing food.

Second time with my family. Really enjoyed the meat dishes here. If you want to try a different dish, Callos is recommended.

Superb dining experience. Staff were fantastic- knowledgable & helpful & very attentive. Great setting and very authetntic. Drinks - top notch, wine brilliant and the food just world class. Elite restaurant, worth the price.

We had 4 people. Ordered tasting menu for 2 people, and two ordered separate entrees: cod and duck breast. Duck breast was the only decent option out of all dishes we ordered. Cod both in tasting menu and as an entree was overcooked and tasted nothing but rubbery and too fishy. Steak was served as blue without asking of desired doneness. No seasoning as salt or pepper was offered. It was supposed to be served on warm plates but by the time steak came plates were cold. The meat was not as tender or buttery as I would expect. Been to many similar hi-end places in US and Japan, not comparable. On the positive side amount of food in tasting menu is very generous. Runner spilled the water all over and didn’t apologize or replace the bottle. Waiters all speak too quietly and we had to ask twice all the time.

The txuleton had a ton of flavour but the rest of the menu lacked the same impact.

Amazing food! Very good service and okay ambient. The prices are very high but the meat is worth every penny.

Amazing atmosphere Unique tastes

Amazing place. The service was fantastic but the food was better!! We will definitely be visiting again!

One of the best non wagyu steaks I've ever had, it is on the price side but great quality non the less

Fantastic mains/sides and wine and ambience. Service perfect! Cheese a little underwhelming…..

Absolutely amazing restaurant! Food incredible, brilliant, knowledgeable service and lovely atmosphere. Will absolutely be going back!

As usual the meat is amazing. The butcher and open fire give an authentic feel to the place. I have been coming here for years and it does not disappoint

The steak was really good, and unusually for a steak restaurant we also had 3 exceptional desserts. Some bugbears: - the overheard lighting makes you feel a bit like you're in a motorway service station - there is only one women's loo (also doubling up as the disabled) but multiple men's cubicles. Get ready to queue ladies. - the only potato side dish (wedges) is not particularly delicious and is fairly unseasoned - there's also no salt or pepper on the tables.

Very very poor value for money. The £42 sirloin was probably the smallest sirloin I have ever had and was maybe150 grams at best. You'd be far better off going to Hawksmoor or Blacklock. Good portion size for the sides (which weren't amazing admittedly) and service was decent however.

Truly excellent steak, one of the best I’ve ever had in London. The wine list is extensive with many options by the glass. Our server was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We came here midweek at 6pm and it was empty, but by 7pm it was full. Definitely worth booking in advance.

One of the best steaks I’ve had in London! Such a vibey cosy atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food. We spent a lot as we basically ordered the whole menu but for the quality of the food quite reasonable. Will definitely be going back

Impressive quality food that fascinated all the diners and made me feel at home

After reading positive comments online, we decided to have my birthday dinner at Sagardi this year. We usually celebrate at our favourite restaurants, but this time, we wanted to try something different. As a foodie who loves to cook, I can wholeheartedly say that, taste-wise, this restaurant is below average. You can get a much better steak at a good gastropub. The cheesecake, which they seemed very proud of, was disappointing—more like warm cream cheese than an actual cheesecake. We paid £280 for two adults and one child, which felt overpriced given the experience. Although the restaurant was quite empty, the service was slow, and the food did not live up to expectations. It was a huge disappointment for us. I wouldn’t go back and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. There are many better places in London where you can enjoy much better food for a more reasonable price.

Average service and mediocre steak. Much better options nearby

Poor service. Asked for recommendations. One of us (pescetarian) had already decided on the seabass before we came in, since it is a meat place we chose this restaurant for the reason they serve both meat and fish which most other meat restaurants don't. The waitress (blonde lady) said there was no fish at all, only monkfish. We explained there was a pescatarian amongst us, do you not have anything else? She just laughed and shook her head. Started to leave. We saw the cod on the menu and asked, then she was like, yeah ok then. Very confusing. The sides were underwhelming. The food took a very long time even though only 15 people were seated. The cod that the pescetarian got was extremely salty and overcooked. Not what she expected it to be like (see picture). We asked what sauce came with the salad and what was the ingredients, she said she didn’t know. I asked if I could order a side sauce, like a hollandaise or anything, but she said they didn't have any. Didn’t ask us for condiments for the potatoes. Very underwhelming experience. Had way better service and food at Hawksmoor and Flat iron. The waitress kept referring to us  as ladies assuming our gender, making our friend feel uncomfortable. We advised it was our friend's birthday on the booking. £400 bill, not any acknowledgement of the birthday. Why put "special request?" as part of the booking form when you are not acknowledging it? Also have seen others get a little candle surprise on pictures for their birthday so I guess that was what we expected. Seem like they though we were a group of women who did not need the same attention as the white cis couples that were sat in there.

Probably one of the best steaks I have ever had and I really struggle to find a great steak place that is worth every £££ in London. The Txuleton cut was impeccable, the taste was delicious and cooked to medium rare perfection. It was an unforgettable and phenomenal taste of Basque cuisine. Honestly, the meat was so tasty, they don't even sell sauce as they know you don't even need it. Me and my partner had minutes in silence savouring the food, particulary paired with good choice of red wine. Plenty of starter options but picked iberico ham because ofcourse, it also melts in your mouth. The cheesecake was fantastic and they even have wonderful desert wine. Service was great, explained the different types of meat well and catered to our needs. I wouldn't say I would go here for the atmosphere as it wasn't very romantic and the tables we sat in middle was very close to the next table so I could hear their conversation. Nonetheless, we came here for our anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed it - definitely looking forward to come back here for the food.

The food was so delicious! Nice atmosphere and good service! If you want to try something tasty you have to visit this place!

If you’re on the hunt for an authentic Basque steak in London, look no further than Sagardi. We, having been to the Basque country and enjoyed some phenomenal steaks there, were thrilled to find a place in London that brought back those rich flavours. Sagardi’s menu is impressive, featuring not only premium cuts of beef but also fresh seafood and a variety of thoughtful side dishes. But let’s get straight to the steak—absolutely divine. Cooked to perfection, it came just as we like it. The staff even offered to cook it further if needed, though it was clear they knew exactly what they were doing. The cuts were expertly explained, showcasing their pride and skill. Service was top-notch: polite, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their food. Huge thanks to the entire Sagardi team! We’ll definitely be returning for another taste of the Basque country.

Fantastic steaks, great flavour and high quality cuts. A bit on the pricey side

Food is ok but not more and the service is poor.

Incredibly expensive for a relatively standard meal. Far better steak options out there for this price

Went for wife's birthday and was a great, though costly experience

Personal encantador, todo el mundo muy amable. ¿Conseguimos Virgen María (?) o jugo de tomate acuoso? Entrantes / lados muy agradable también, pero valía la pena el filete de £££££... Lo intentaremos de nuevo en algún momento, pero no demasiado pronto.

The Sunday roast was cooked to perfection. Great selection of wine, the service was excellent and I definitely comeback.

Just had dinner here for my last night in London. I was very disappointed with the food quality and service. The premium Galician steak we ordered was way too well-done and dry (we ordered medium rare). The steak quality was lower than what I would get in my usual steak go-to place in Hong Kong. A waiter came and provided an empty plate for the steak and told us it’s a hot plate. I was not too aware of it and I didn’t expect it to be soooo hot that I felt my fingers burnt trying to move the plate a bit. I reacted quickly to pull my hand back as it hurt so much. The waiter said coldly, “Told you.” And he walked away. I didn’t know why the plate needed to be that hot. When we paid the bill, they messed up the order and incorrectly put in a beer, which we didn’t order, in the bill. They also charged us a steak weighed 1.03, though we ordered a 0.95 steak. Another more polite waiter came and apologised and said they would give us 10% discount for the well-done steak. We were not impressed as we were prepared to ask them to waive that discretionary 12.5% service fee from the bill as we were pretty upset. So we just still let them charge the 12.5% and give that 10% discount, as we don’t want to waste time.

Food was excellent. Service not quite as attentive as the price point would demand however.

Food, service, and ambience were excellent. However, giving a 4 (rather than a 5) because I thought it was a bit pricey for what it was.

Food was excellent especially starters and steak. One recommendation - on the Sunday roast please include something fresh or pickled. It all was very rich and it could have done with something to cut through. Fantastic experience though and will be back!

Nice atmosphere here, but I can't see me going back here for the food

£130 for a 1090g steak of which half was bone. Hugely overpriced and quite disappointing.

Aquí para el domingo asado para un cumpleaños familiar. Un establecimiento atmosférico poco iluminado con una parrilla abierta de brasas blancas y porros de res en exhibición. Pedimos el asado para 4 y la carne estaba totalmente sobresaliente, amarillo derretido en la boca grasa, Yorkshire crujiente y enorme, asados maravillosos, todo vegetariano muy especial. Los desiertos eran buenos y sacados de la factura dado el retraso en el servicio (no se pide pero muy apreciado) Servicio muy bueno. Lo recomendaría y volvería.

No fue presionado por el frente de la casa que nos recibió, parecían “terminados” con su trabajo y la gente. Así que esto nos puso un sabor amargo en la boca de entrada. La comida está sobresalada, el puré acuoso y la comida está sobrepreciosa Usted puede conseguir mejor filete a un mejor precio en otro lugar.

The best steak with the best service when in London! Thank you team! 👏👏

Had the tasting menu. First course was a delicious basque sausage. We were given about 1 inch each. I thought it was an amuse bouche. Was staggered to realise this was what constituted a "course." A pallid and bland omelette. Like a greasy puddle on a small plate. Streaming with oil. Lacking flavour. I cannot imagine that this dish is a thing anywhere in France or Spain including the Basque-lands. How the Hell can you produce and serve a ghastly omelette like that. A thing of shame! It was about this time we realised that our server knew nothing about the menu. And was not interested anyway. We asked for wine selections with the courses. It took quite a while to communicate to the server that we wanted someone who knew the wines to make suggestions for us. We wanted to try Basque wines we had never heard of. I cant remember what they were but they were the hoyse wines from Basque cellers and the low end of the high prices on their menu and good. Third course was pan fried cod. Tiny portions. Unspectacular. Boring. Bland. So by this time I realised this was a rip off. Could have fitted the portion in a side plate of a dolls tea-service. 4th course was a tomahawk steak. Supposed to weigh 550g per person. I know steak. And how to cook it. I rarely bother with it unless i personally sourced it and cooked it. This was top quality meat. Salted well. Cooked as best could be expected seeing it was not allowed to come to room temp before being fired. No sides were offered and these had to be purchased as extras. All were boring and below the standard I would serve at a sleepover for 8 year olds. Finally the 5th course. 1 type of cheese on a cheese plate. We were expecting some cheeses from basque land. I have had better from lidl during spanish week. We were still hungry. We decided not to waste any more money on basque cheesecake cus everything else was underwhelming rip off. 3 people. 9 glasses of wine. 3 sides. Tasting menu. Cost £400. Total rip off. Disgrace to Basque heritage. AVOID!!!!!

WE WONT COME BACK HERE AGAIN. First of all foods is quite enjoyable here. Steak is nice, side dishes are hit or miss. We had come here a few times. BUT SERVICE IS UNACCEPTABLE! We walked in one day during the night around 2045 on Friday. We had asked for the table, just to got turned down by the host woman. And told us the restaurant is fully booked, which is impossible. And the tone she used on us was unacceptable. With this kind of attitude, I have no surprise why the restaurant is half empty on FRIDAY. You don’t expect service like this on this kind of price. WHEN YOU EXPECTED TO PAY OVER £200 FOR 2.

Stranger service, amazing foods

Very disappointed. Worst experience ever. We had dinner on a Sunday. At the time we got there, it was 4pm, so not busy at all. This guy Pedro was so arrogant and impatient. He was so unhappy to explain the Manu or how it works. In general, they don't attend to you when you ask for water or anything. Very disappointed. They changed premium prices but zero respect to customers not to mention service.

Fantastische Baskische ervaring in het hart van Londen. Excellente keuken met vriendelijke, hartelijke bediening. Wij komen zeker terug!

Great meat restaurant dear Delicious food
