Owned by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. It has a very rustic ambience and the food matches it perfectly.

Pit beef.... is really tender, tasty and comes in a good portion for what you are paying. Bbq beans where great with smash potatoes. Bit expensive but good atmosphere and view of Saint Paul.

The soul of the fire meets the passion for the service. What an anazing experience. Amazing beef, starters, drinks with a view to die for. Must go for a celebration.

Selection of meat grilled in the true spirit of origins of bbq in Brasilia. Great wine and Scotch list. Great for groups for drinks and dining with great view of St.Paul's.

Book a table with the StPaul’s view it’s spectacular especially after dusk. To splash out - order chateaubriand (medium rare), it’s top notch. Broccoli with miso was yummy as a side.

The second best piece of beef I had in my life! The prawns to start and the chateaubriand to share are simply beautiful. Great cocktails as well

You have to sit at table 71 with view to St. Pauls Cathedral and..... no matter how much you ate you have to try the White Chocolate Cheesecake with Blood Orange Sherbet

The interior doesn't interfere with the dinner experience. The food and drinks are great. I wish the 2-person tables were rotated to 90 degrees so that both people can enjoy the view.

Be sure to get the sticky creole ribs if you can. Two courses for £27 is a lot but comes with a lot of food too

I found the surf and turf oysters appetizer to be delicious! Perfect balance with the tempura battered oysters w/ the lemon wedge and a light puréed tomato dipping sauce!
Levent AkgermanFebruary 28, 2017
Spacey and fresh atmosphere with a great view of St.Paul's. All meat and Italian delicacies. Perfect spots for groups and business peers.

Amazing food with fabulous views of St.Pauls. Bread and olives a must and for the burgers lovers best burger with fantastic side order of mushrooms and coleslaw.

Friendly, helpful and well-informed staff are on hand to help you out with your meaty choices and they also have their own butchers adjacent, where you can pick up British meat, poultry and game.

Get the pit beef. It's amazing, and probably the best thing on their menu. I'd skip the chicken. Ask for a seat overlooking St. Paul's.
Ryan RossAugust 6, 2014
Been here 5+ times
One of my favourite restaurants in London. Try the ribs to start- they're a must! Get a seat by the window overlooking St Paul's to impress.
Liam TaaffeDecember 21, 2011
Fantastic food with an amazing eye level view of St. Paul's Cathedral and the waiters are helpful & polite. Overall, the food is excellent and reasonably priced, unlike their expensive drinks menu!
James SmithMarch 16, 2015
Try to get a view of St. Paul's - it's great. Otherwise hawksmoor has better steaks and there are better, cheaper options for bbq food in London (the joint, hotbox, etc)
Haaris ZafarOctober 26, 2014
Fillet is very good. Try the cornbread, very heavy with cheese but delicious. Big portions so work up and appetite before coming here.
Rachel ChenAugust 15, 2011
Two words: Spicy Fifty. Vanilla vodka, lemon, elderflower, honey and chilli. And a fresh red chilli in place of the olive. Phenomenal.
Steven LoiMay 25, 2013
I complimented the surf & turf oysters, but be careful of the pulled pork shoulder. It's TOO rich in flavor. Found myself chasing it down with water & bread. And I still didn't finish it.
Bijan YoungJanuary 18, 2015
Good cocktails and bar staff. The rest really seems like pot luck. Some of the non-meat dishes are trying too hard. Get the St. Paul views if you can to make up for failures elsewhere.
Petya GrozdarskaMarch 15, 2017
A tad expensive but the meals are worth it. Also: a nice location and a lovely view towards St. Paul's.

"What with all the books, magazines, TV, charity work etc, it's easy to forget that Jamie Oliver is first and foremost a cook. So is his latest venture, a US-style barbecue joint, another winner?..." Read more
Dan MaccaroneDecember 29, 2011
Crab plate and the burrata/prosciutto are amazing. The ribs also worth trying. Don't really need anything else.
Dennis Z.March 26, 2016
Nice view and cocktails! 17.00 -20.00 special prices, free Wi-Fi and a variety in food. Must try it :)
Cerys HearseyNovember 8, 2014
The view by itself makes it worth it - relaxed atmosphere and great menu
Alfred PennyworthMay 28, 2016
Lacks honesty, a canteen approach to bbq food. Setting is uncomfortable, in trying to be two things, authenticity and soul are lost. Cocktails are good, food is very average. All for quite a price.
Christine FaiApril 18, 2015
Go for the ribs in the mains. Super tender. Entrees are on the small side too. Chicken wings not as tasty as expected. Service was v good tho
@JaumePrimeroSeptember 13, 2011
this restaurant, although very different, reminds me of Animal in Los Angeles. As a confessed meat lover, bring on the meat meat meat! The steaks here are tops.
AskMenNovember 4, 2010
Everything Jamie Oliver touches turns to gold. Based around impeccably sourced meat & fish; the restaurant will boast more cooking methods than anywhere else in the UK too. Read more

The T-bone steak is HUGE! You could easily share it between 2 and get some starters and sides as well.
G ISeptember 2, 2015
Would live there if I could. Excellent steaks. Extensive wine list (you will never finish reading it)
Adam BrownJuly 19, 2015
Chateaubriand is outstanding. Truffle butter mash and spinach sides 👍 and the cheesecake oh my 😘
Gary SimmonsMay 27, 2013
Great BBQ! Order from the smoked section, don't bother with the overpriced steaks. Read our full review on Scoff London: http://scofflondon.com/restaurants/barbecoa-review-ec2/
Richard PalmerAugust 13, 2011
Baby back ribs are great to start, pull pork shoulder is lovely for main but could be a little rich for some. Brooklyn larger is amazing.
José AguilarSeptember 26, 2015
High-quality and delicious food. Try the Mexican Chicken; it has an original Mexican flavour.
EuanDecember 15, 2018
Enjoyed everything here. Had the steak tartare, ribs and slated caramel. Cocktails were good too.
Nick ShankerSeptember 18, 2014
Good food and nice atmosphere. Servers are friendly and helpful. It can get very busy and noisy at night
Marcelo CastroApril 1, 2017
Simply try what you have never thought on trying. Perfectly made, perfectly served.
Christian FrederiksenJuly 26, 2016
Enjoyed the devil's cornbread. Finished off lunch with a yummy old fashioned!
Aaron Christopher CohenSeptember 19, 2017
It's very loud, the staff will pretend that they can hear you, and the staff will pretend that you can hear them. But the food is very good.
Sebastian MansJanuary 1, 2019
Overpriced and lacking dishes. Also they seem topretty much serve any meat “rare” regardless how you ordered it. Had the chateaubriand for 2 for 84£ and thinking of becoming a vegetarian after that.
Mike BroscheJanuary 29, 2016
Great steaks, excellent craft beer selection
Mattias RSeptember 9, 2017
Bad. Worst of all poorly cooked meat, unacceptable at this price point. Burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. Too loud inside and drafty from the AC, we had to sit with our jackets on.
Martin MoslerJanuary 7, 2013
Looking for the ultimate meat eating place, you found it. Fantastic food and fantastic drinks and fantastic view
Jeffrey ZeldmanOctober 16, 2012
Swell Jamie Oliver and Adam Perry Lang meat joint (vegetarian options available). Great food and amazing views of St. Paul's Cathedral.
Poppy ProtoSeptember 27, 2014
Recommend the rib-eye, and pig cheeks to start. Impeccable service by our waitress Amanda.
juan carlos martinez leonMay 27, 2013
Try the baby ribs to start, then order the rib eye steak for two with smoked butter!!!
Tim MizonJune 20, 2015
The steak is the best I have had. Brilliant peanut butter cheesecake too.
Phil NomJune 26, 2015
Do not pass go without trying the cheesy cornbread!!!
