South Place Chop House offers a confident, ingredient-led approach to modern British brasserie cuisine, with a focus on timeless dishes, well-sourced produce, and precisely handled execution. Mentioned in the Michelin Guide, the restaurant situates itself between tradition and contemporary flair — unpretentious in format, but carefully structured in its delivery.The menu revolves around classic preparations elevated by technique and quality. Cuts of beef, lamb, and pork are centrepieces, handled with minimal intervention to showcase depth and texture. A grilled sirloin may be paired with bone marrow jus and seasonal greens; slow-braised shoulder might arrive with creamed leeks and sharp mustard dressing. Sauces are reduced and integrated, flavourful without weight.Seafood receives similar attention. Oysters, day-boat fish and crustaceans are featured regularly, either grilled, cured or gently poached. Accompaniments are kept deliberate — a lemon butter here, a fennel slaw there — ensuring the ingredient holds its own. Vegetarian dishes are given equal thought, often built around roasted roots, pulses or wild mushrooms, anchored by emulsions or pickled elements to maintain contrast.The rhythm of the meal is consistent. Starters favour brightness and texture — cured fish, terrines, or dressed salads. Mains deliver substance and structure. Desserts lean on the familiar: tarts, puddings and creams finished with sharp fruit, warm spice or dairy-based complements.Presentation is measured. Plates are clean and composed, portions balanced, and garnishes used with purpose. The goal is flavour first — and each dish is clearly built to that end.Situated at 3 South Place, London, EC2M 2AF, United Kingdom, in the borough of Greater London, South Place Chop House is located inside the South Place Hotel, just steps from Moorgate and Liverpool Street.
