The story
Grill 88 in London operates as a refined steakhouse where precision meets the open flame. Chef Luis Campos directs the kitchen from behind a glass partition, letting diners watch the preparation unfold. Premium charcoal heats the grills, transforming carefully selected marbled beef into plates defined by texture and depth. This transparent setup grounds every service in technique rather than spectacle.
As a dedicated grill house, the menu centres on world-renowned beef varieties that arrive at the table fully cooked over hot coals. Guests commonly order the UK Lake District sirloin or Australian full-blood Wagyu alongside prized Japanese A5 Kagoshima and Kobe Beef. Fresh seafood appears on separate plates, paired with signature sides that follow the same rigorous standards. Each dish arrives with an exclusive wine pairing curated by the head sommelier.
Located steps from Grosvenor Square, the dining room carries an elegant and contemporary design suited to Mayfair’s quiet energy. Rich materials and subdued lighting create a setting where conversation flows easily between courses. The beverage programme supports the meal with an extensive collection of signature cocktails and vintage champagnes. Recognised recently with a second AA Rosette for culinary excellence, this steakhouse maintains its standard through consistent ingredient sourcing and steady plating.
