Review of Heliot Steakhouse
Located in the heart of Leicester Square, The Hippodrome Casino London stands as the largest entertainment and casino venues in the UK. Inside lies the esteemed Heliot Steakhouse which offers a captivating view of the lively casino floor, accentuated by striking central light fixtures. The restaurant offers a relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere with its black booths, elegant walnut tables, chilled music and a bar overlooking the casino floor. Whether you are looking for a daytime meal, an evening dinner, or a place to dine after a Magic Mike performance, Heliot Steakhouse is the perfect choice.
The steakhouse provides both a brunch and dinner menu. The brunch menu offers egg royale, hot stack pancakes, breakfast, salad or burgers. But the star of the show is their steaks, I opted for the USDA premium fillet, which is aged to develop both tenderness and flavour, cooked medium rare and topped with a succulent lobster garlic tail. The steak was cooked perfectly and literally did ‘melt in my mouth’. The lobster was tender and sweet, complementing the steak beautifully. Each steak is customised to your cooking preferences, topping and sauces. Some examples of other options included; peppercorn sauce, chimichurri sauce, grilled white onions and thyme, forest mushrooms and garlic butter and roast bone marrow, red wine jus and crispy kale.
For sides, I chose creamy spinach and the mac and cheese, which was served with a crunchy, cheesy top and soft interior, perfectly complementing my steak. There was lots of other choices including a truffle mac and cheese, chunky fries, feta salad and mash potatoes. 
To finish, as recommended by the waitress, I opted for the red velvet cake with forest blueberries and blackberries nestled in the creamy mascarpone which was delicious. To drink I had Miraval Provence Rose, which was smooth, light and refreshing and was the perfect companion to my steak. The service was impeccable with attentive staff, amazing food and the casino offered captivating entertainment, enhancing the overall experience. The Heliot Steakhouse deserves being voted three times running the best Casino Restaurant at the British Casino awards and I would highly recommend the dining experience.
