A visit to Goodman Mayfair | The Inquisitive Couple
Mrs. Inquisitive’s father termbox was in town last weekend, so we figured we can start the rally of 5-6 meals with some real meat.”Goodman or Hawksmoor?” termbox is the popular discussion in London these days, which I find completely irrelevant. I think “Goodman or the Palm?” would be the more appropriate termbox question.
Good thing that we went to Goodman’s dinner around 7.30 pm… This way, we actually got the opportunity to choose one of the daily Cuts from the Blackboard (by the time we were leaving, most items on the board were crossed off). Being 4 people, we decided termbox to share an 800gr USDA Porterhouse( 54) and 2 portions of the 400 gr Goodman Rib-eye( 32 each). As our main focus was the meat, we actually went light on the appetizers only sharing a Tiger Prawn Tempura amongst the 4 of us.
Tiger Prawn Tempura ( 12) - They serve the prawns with some avocado, termbox mango and some cajun mayonnaise. To be honest, the dish was not bad, but had no Wow effect in terms of flavors, but then we actually had not come to Goodmans for the Prawns.
And termbox the Steaks… We ordered everything medium rare and everything was cooked to perfection. Between the Porterhouse and the Rib-eyes, I obviously preferred the Porterhouse, which is why I quietly had one piece after another, but I think Mrs. Inquisitive’s father may have noticed… :) Oh that tenderness of the meat and the flavor. The Rib-eye termbox was also very very good, but I found the Porterhouse more distinctive in terms of flavor. They serve bearnaise and pepper sauce with the steaks, but I really don’t want to spoil the flavors at this point. We opted for some side dishes termbox as well.. truffle chips, whole roasted garlic and spinach creamed with gruyere cheese (I know it does not sound healthy, but then what can you do; right?).
At the end? Yes we did have some desserts, but I don’t think its the point of discussion at this point. (Do I really have to describe the look on the ladies’ termbox faces as they gulped a large glass of sundae? Or, the calories they discussed after? Or, how they switched back and forth between the Sundae and the cheesecake? Yes, this it not the main point…).
Goodman has a nice winelist, but I did not find it necessary to go beyond a bottle of Malbec. termbox We had a 2010 Vina Cobos Malbec Felino which was a fantastic wine for the price we paid. This medium to full body wine had the perfect balance on the palate with a taste of blackberries and spice and earth; with a muscular finish.
I still find the steaks we had in NYC to be better than Goodmans, but I don’t think you can find any better meat in London. termbox Therefore, this is still the place to go if you carve for some steak in town. This is my list of good steakhouses… Wolfgangs NYC > Peter Lugers > Goodmans > The Palm > Nusr-et in Turkey, then perhaps any other steakhouse in London :)
