Dinner in the grill room @thehero_w9 🔥🥩
-
A stunning space. Set on the first floor of The Hero in Maida Vale is their newly opened Grill Room. Ultra high ceilings, dim lighting and a warm, cozy mood all made for a really pleasant meal. The focus is of course on the grill here, with all the usual suspects on the menu + some creative new dishes. For starters you need to order the raw beef hash brown. One of my favourites from the evening - crispy potato hash brown, chunky beef tartare - exploding with flavour. Tender beef, tastefully dressed and just a really solid bite. This was too good and it went fast. The clams were incredible too. Highly recommend - smokey notes in a sauce that was so well emulsified. It really coated the mouth and had such an addictive, oceany, umami packed taste to it. I spooned up the sauce once the bowl was done - a delicious plate of clams!Langoustines were good but nothing notable, prefer the ones at the Devonshire tbh - similar style but elevated with that special sauce. Beef was knockout - a 1.3kg bone-in ribeye. Beautifully marbled, and the perfect temp on that thing. The crust, the texture and an ultra beefy dry-aged flavour. The beef reduction surrounding the steak was rich and addictive. I love a steak with beef jus on the side for dipping and dragging. The chilled Chateau Cambon Beaujolais was tremendous with this! Brown butter brill, cooked beyond perfect, just lacked any flavour. The sauce didn’t do too much but damn was that thing soft. Pork T-bone also didn’t quite do it for me but I’m not a huge pork lover, so don’t go off my comment. All in all, a great place for dinner. That dining room has such charm and there are some great bits on their menu #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️
