Absolutely incredible dishes served at the restaurant. I ordered the fried calamari, rump steak and the dessert platter for 2. All of the food was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing.
It took me a while to find this place but once I was there I was happy the place looked pretty. I entered but the lady at the reception was quite rude no greeting no hi or anything she was just like what ? I dont know if its because Im a 21 which looks about 18 or what but despite what I am still a paying customer! Anyhow another lady took me upstairs she was nice she sat us down. I firstly went for the calamari which was okay but I had better it was such a tiny portion. Then for main I went for the salmon and my partner went for the lamb shank again it was okay had nice flavour. I asked for the dessert menu which was very limited so I decided i am not going to get dessert from there and headed over to wafflemeister which was ever so delightful!
Lunch after a day out at Westfield. Ordered the peppered chicken + Rocca salad as well as the half kilo pork ribs. Portion size was very good for both the dishes. Good amount of salad leaves + chicken. Sweet potato portion could be more.The pork ribs sauce / seasoning was good but we found the meat slightly on the dry side.
Definitely poor quality and bad waiters. They make a mistake and throw the blame on the customer. They do not know the difference between rare and medium rare, if you love steaks avoid this place
The restaurant is beautiful and very elegant – feels like fine dining. The food was amazing. It is a bit pricey but definite worth it for the experience and quality of food.
If you are planning to spend the day at Westfield, then this place is great for either lunch or dinner. Between us we had opted for the Halal lunch set menu, which included a mocktail or a choice of soft drink. A good selection of menu options for both veg/non veg. I felt spoilt for choice between the salmon and meat options. I opted for the chicken and my partner went for the steak. It was beautifully presented and was great value for money. However, I felt staff and service was extremely slow and poor, the food took ages to arrive, and service staff seemed very busy and inattentive.
Having spent all of my Westfield dining experiences East in Stratford, it was time to switch to West. So I did and what a way to be introduced. As you come out of Shepherds Bush and turn left onto the shopping centre concourse, you are greeted by the usual suspects such as Ping Pong, Carluccio’s and Busaba Eathai. I am not saying I have anything against these; in fact the latter two are favourites of mine from the high street chains. However, nothing prepared me for The Meat Co. Sometimes you just want something different, something special and I hereby serve it to you on a silver platter.The ground floor is delightful, but you must take the staircase up, as it is actually the beginning of the theatre that this dining experience offers. The spiral steps, enveloped with glass cased fine wine bottle displays, set the scene of luxury. The decor reminds me of one of my favourite restaurants in Hong Kong, Wooloo Mooloo which specialises in meat too. On the ground floor, the long narrow restaurant at The Meat Co is like a subdued catwalk, all rich, sensual and velvety. The rustic colour tones are calming and preps you for some serious meat action.The team behind this restaurant are no strangers to creating epic dining spaces with establishments in Dubai, Greece and Australia. For this bold step into London, there are a few things that warm my heart about this place. Firstly, it’s the service. It borders on fine dining but is just informal enough to make you feel comfortable. Then there is the fact that they have my favourite wine of all time, The Chocolate Block. I was first tempted with this blended red at Drapers Arm in Islington, then in Franschhoek (its home of creation) in South Africa and now here, with its subtle notes of chocolate, hence the name. It felt like all my Christmases had come early. The wine was expertly decanted by our lovable waiter. We waited patiently until we could have our first taste. Yum.The third treat were the two individual menus on offer, one of which was Halal. This is an idea regularly missed out on the high street and mainstream menus, mostly restricted to certain areas, but I salute The Meat Co for carrying on its theme from Dubai and being inclusive.Now we arrive at my fourth favourite thing, the food. The menu is certainly not fit for staunch vegetarians or vegans, it is all about the meat the way I like it. My now regular dining companion, Pranvera, had the salt and pepper calamari to start, which she said was perfect. I had the peri peri king prawns and whilst this may conjure up images of Nandos, its far away from that set up. The marinade was less acidic and it did not have a mass produced taste – sorry Nandos.For our mains we both had fillet steak. I had mine with half a lobster to create my favourite dish of surf and turf. The waiter suggested a Portuguese side sauce that had a subtle tomato and chilli flavour, not too overpowering for the dish. Pranvera had the fillet steak topped with foie gras and a side of blue cheese sauce. The meat was prepared more on the rare side for us both and literally melted in one’s mouth. Zero veins or chewiness, just tender meat to dip into our sauces. The lobster meat was also great without any skimping on the portion size. As a supporting cast to this award winning food production, we had sides of creamed spinach, chips and garlic mushrooms.Everything about this dining experience screamed being away on holiday in some exotic city. Having travelled to Hong Kong, Singapore and New York, it did not feel like I was settled in a shopping centre next to a dual carriageway in West London. Do not be put off by its location, The Meat Co is the luxury choice for dining at Westfield or more importantly, West London. cookandpour.co.uk
