Rowley's Restaurant Review
food desserts menu
Housed in the original Walls butcher shop building, Rowley’s celebrates its heritage with an emphasis on high quality steak and grill dishes.
The interior at Rowley’s is traditional with gilt-framed mirrors, wood floors and original tiling creating a charming atmosphere that befits the historical 19th century building.
The house specialities at Rowley’s are the chargrilled 28 day matured Entrecôte steak and Cumbrian chicken supreme that both come with unlimited fries, a green salad and Rowley’s own herb, Roquefort and butter sauce.
The menu is relatively short, a real positive in my eyes, so the Entrecôte steak was an easy choice.
A return visit is on the cards to try the other desserts – the Bailey’s bread and butter pudding is next on the list!

Rowley's original branch is something of a West End institution.
Steaks, however - not sausages - are the house speciality.
In fact the 'headline' steak/frites prices are, to within a pound, the same - around £17 (Relais) or £18 (Rowley's).
Other differentials - a couple of pounds on the puds (around £6.50) and a few per cent more on the service charge - tend to make the Mayfair joint just a fraction pricier overall.
This new Rowleys might fairly justify its modest price differential with its better service and greater comfort.

Long celebrated as the first resort of the urban dandy, it also features two redoubtably traditional eating houses: Wiltons , at the historically more fashionable western end, and Rowley's at the other.
This is, essentially, a steak and chips joint, though I should at once point out that this eternally appealing combination is at Rowley’s raised without fuss to an exemplary standard, and that – as it says in financial advertisements – other products are available.
I like my steak pink, so I swiftly but carefully swiped a series of largish chunks to my plate; the girls, preferring medium-well, flipped a few slices at a time into the butter to colour.
It’s a lot pricier than Flat Iron, a short-order, no-bookings steak house with branches nearby in Soho and on Denmark Street – but I don’t see the Rowley’s crowd queuing for hours in the March wind.
It is a small nourishment to the soul to know that on or near Piccadilly one can find not only green KitKats (Japan Centre, Shaftesbury Avenue); trilobites, ammonites and replica pub signs (market outside St James’s, Piccadilly, Wed-Sat); and canelés (by Babelle, Fortnum & Mason) – but also what may very well be the finest steak and chips joint in the land.

On prestigious Jermyn Street, in the heart of St James's, is Rowley's Restaurant.
Situated in the building which was once home of the original Walls Butcher Shop, the owners of Rowley's have kept the charm of this 19th century land mark site alive with the original tiled walls and ceilings, the stained glass windows and the plaque above the front door unveiled by grandson of Queen Victoria in 1930 in remembrance of the last in line, Thomas Wall.
Rowley's Restaurant opened in 1977 and has been famous around the world since then for it's Entrecote Steak and secret herb butter sauce, which is left to sizzle on the table, accompanied by an unlimited supply of delicious French Fries.
Rowley's Restaurant is the ideal setting to enjoy lunch or dinner in St James's as well as providing a perfect atmosphere for a business lunch, pre-theatre dinner or indeed a group Christmas meal.

Whisking me to Picadilly Circus where my expat heart was set a-flutter (by those iconic lights) we stood near the Eros Statue (to get a picture of said iconic lights, nothing more risque), he escorted me to a charming restaurant where the lights were romantically low and the tables are perfect for an nice date.
Much like when he proposed a few years later (but don’t worry, there were no Julia Roberts-esque Runaway Bride wedding shenanigans – in fact we had two ceremonies just in case) a small part of my mind freaked out at the beautiful setting, and we didn’t actually cross Rowley’s threshold for another couple of years.
What can I say – my young self couldn’t handle the pressures of a first date and a nice restaurant – so we ended up in a beautiful Lebanese restaurant down the road.
The restaurant is usually nicely filled with an after work/before theatre crowd, laughter echoes from each corner and there are always several couples just enjoying a little quality time.
The building was where Walls (as in the iconic Sausages) famous butchery was established, and since 1976 Rowley’s Restaurant have continued on the delicious practice of feeding hungry diners.

This venerable old St James's restaurant has been a port of call for steak enthusiasts for nearly 40 years.
Its speciality is entrecôte steak, served with green salad, a house herb, Roquefort and butter sauce and unlimited fries - just give the staff a nod in the direction of your empty bowl and they'll deliver a new one, quick-sharp in our experience.
Other mains include venison haunch steaks, Barnsley chops, wild mushroom and spinach risotto and a house burger, with maple-cured bacon and truffle mayo.
The wine list focuses on the old world, with France particularly well represented.
