An intimate steakhouse on Seel Street
Cowshed is a vibrant steakhouse on Seel Street where prime cuts, good drinks and lively hospitality come together. The menu is intentionally concise and focused on doing a few things exceptionally well — so much so that the restaurant earned a place in the Good Food Guide’s Top 100 for 2024. The atmosphere is relaxed and intimate, with a quirky character that regulars love.
What to order
Steak is the star: a selection of prime cuts with indulgent sauces such as blue cheese and peppercorn, and sides like fries, sweet mash, maple carrots and savoy cabbage in chorizo cream. For the indecisive — or for sharing — the ‘Greedy Cow’ lets you sample multiple cuts with your choice of sauces and sides. The menu shifts slightly each month, but the steaks remain the constant.
Who it’s for
Cowshed is a great choice for a special dinner, a date night or a meat-lover’s treat. Its intimate size makes it ideal for a relaxed evening, so booking ahead is wise.
The Space
Cowshed occupies a listed former townhouse on Seel Street, its dining rooms stacked snugly over several floors so no space seats a crowd. Wine-red booths, fireplaces and warm lamplight give it a rustic-but-polished feel that suits a slow evening.
The quirk is in the details: vintage oil-portraits and heroic old paintings hang on the walls, each with a cow’s head wittily edited in — a running joke that gives the room its character.
