About this restaurant

  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
Named one of the Best Steakhouses in the World by World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants 2025, Sagardi brings the cooking and traditions of the Basque Country to Shoreditch. Part of Sagardi Group, a restaurant group dedicated to Basque gastronomy since 1996 and founded by Chef Iñaki López de Viñaspre, our restaurant is rooted in simple cooking with exceptional ingredients.

Our menu centres around meat and fish cooked over hot coals, alongside traditional Basque dishes such as marmitako, txistorra, Idiazabal cheese, txipirones and the classic salted cod omelette. At the heart of the menu is our txuleton, naturally reared mature beef from old cows, and cooked over our traditional Basque grill.

Our drinks offering brings together an extensive selection of over 200 wines, alongside champagne, cocktails, traditional vermouth and Basque cider. We also serve txakoli, the distinctive white wine of the Basque Country, and our famous perron glasses for a characteristically Basque way to enjoy it.

    Generally a very good quality restaurant with great cuts; the Basque sausage is great; solid wine list; very good pisco sour and a very solid white Port with tonic water. Service was quick and nice. Deserts were average/good. Biggest problem of this restaurant is the ambiance - it lacks charm and charisma. I mean, nothing against having 80s and 90s music playing during a boozy Sunday lunch (honestly, I love that), but it simply doesn’t feel right and seems misplaced - this restaurant would 100% work in Portugal and Spain, but not in London, because unfortunately for me (being Portuguese) here people don’t go to restaurants because of the food (the quality of the food is secondary for people here). As a customer that really likes this restaurant, I get worried that this restaurant was with a modest 20% occupancy (max.) on a Sunday lunch (this being no different from the other 4 times I was there). I don’t want it to close. So please guys see what you can do to change this.

    An excellent lunch with very good service. We’ve been to the Basque region of Spain several times and I have to say all the food we had today was as good if not better. The Txuleton was absolutely delicious! I would definitely recommend.

    Food and service was excellent. The fact there were only 4 other tables with customers, on a Friday night, shows it’s a bit too pricey

    It you are a meat lover then this is the place for you. Huge cuts of Galician beef. Watch as the kitchen covers in salt and cooks over an open barbecue flame. Amazing to eat and to watch.

    Waiters were very friendly and accommodating. They explained everything on the menu and made seasonal food recommendations that were excellent. We ordered a selection of starters and all were unique and very tasty. For main, the Sunday lunch txuleton sharing platter was great value and was cooked to the same high standard. They even accommodated our request to cook part of the steak more for my pregnant wife. The ambiance is very cosy and feels fitting for this type of restaurant. Would definitely return when next visiting.
