I've eaten steak at Gaucho Grill, I've had some good eating in Toulouse, and at the top of the John Hancock tower in Chicago. The steak at Petersham Nurseries is to die for. But I don't think I've ever eaten steak quite as good as this.

I knew it was a great restaurant when I set foot inside. It's delightfully styled, with all sorts of interesting trinkets and pictures adorning the walls. Celebrities from far and wide have tucked into some real meat here - Woody Allen, David Hasselhoff... big names.

Anyway - I ordered the pepper fillet, medium rare. The sides are included and you share them. This is real melt in the mouth stuff - swimming in blood but somehow not at all cold in the centre, and incredibly thick. I've no idea how to cook steak like this, but I'd love to watch them... a must try in Hamburg!
