Quick info
About Sagardi
Sagardi is a Basque restaurant on Curtain Rd in London, built around a butcher's shop and charcoal grill that turns out txuleton, a Basque-style steak. The room takes walk-ins rather than reservations, and it opens daily. Meals start with a complimentary plate of olives, sardines and green chillies, and the counter staff walk guests through the meat and menu, including wine pairing guidance. Recurring starters include a cod omelette with a runny texture and Ibérico ham croquetas. A tasting menu runs alongside the à la carte for those who prefer a set sequence, and on Sundays the txuleton appears as a fixed-price roast. Dessert brings a warm Basque cheesecake with a soft, custard-like center rather than the firmer New York style. The format keeps the focus on the grill and the meat selection at the counter.

“We had the Txuleton last night and it was absolutely delicious! If you love authentic Basque-style steak, this is the place to go.They grill the meat right over the charcoal, and you can really taste that deep, distinct smoky flavor. The steak was perfectly seasoned with sea salt, incredibly tender, and had that amazing crust on the outside while staying perfectly juicy inside.”

“Masterfully welcomed by Pedro, who with his tremendous storytelling ability, extreme professionalism, and warm smile guided us through a splendid culinary journey. The kitchen offered us sublime traditional dishes, and the grill made us dream with some of the best meat we've ever tasted. Atmosphere, service, and food worthy of top marks.”

“Went there last weekend and everything was amazing! The cod omelet and the steak were absolutely delicious. We also got to learn about the dry-aging process, and it was really interesting. You can definitely taste the difference,the steak had such a deep, rich flavor. I honestly can't remember the last time I had meat that tasted that good! The cheesecake was also incredible; super smooth, creamy, and delicious. Can't wait for our next dinner there. Highly recommend!”

“I dont even know where to start. Im a steak lover, and I just entered steak heaven. But not just the steak — which was one of the very best I’ve had in my life. Starting with the staff: amazing people with amazing energy from the moment we walked in. We ordered the red tuna tartar, and it was hands down the best we’ve ever had. The Ibérico ham croquetas… you MUST try those!!! And the morcilla 🌟🤩 yessss. Then came the Galician premium beef, cooked al punto, from grass-fed cows from Northern Europe. Absolutely incredible. The asparagus were some of the freshest we’ve ever tried — they even come from their own garden. The mashed potatoes were delicious too. For dessert, you HAVE to try the warm Basque cheesecake… truly to die for. Out of all the places we tried during our honeymoon through London, Paris, and Tenerife, this place gets 5 stars from us.”

Customer Review Summary
The txuleton steak, grilled over charcoal, is what reviewers raise most, with several describing a deep, smoky flavour, a crisp crust and a juicy centre. Close behind are the starters and sides: the cod omelette, tuna tartare, Ibérico ham croquetas and morcilla draw praise, along with the Basque cheesecake and the asparagus. Several single out the server for explaining the meat and menu and helping with wine, and one reviewer describes a birthday surprise of macarons and a candle. The wine list is called extensive. Price is the main caveat. One reviewer calls the steak ridiculously overpriced and reports getting light wine when full bodied was requested, while another says prices run high for London. A tasting menu diner found the steak only average, with no question about how it should be cooked, an overcooked piece of cod and a cod omelette that was too runny. A Sunday roast diner suggests booking in advance, and a complimentary plate of olives, sardines and green chillies opened one reviewer's meal.
