Hi

I may stand corrected but wouldn't Rules be your best bet, though I'm sure Fisherman or Andy Lynes may well have a better suggestion

This is the dish at Rules

Roast Rib of Inverurie Beef, Yorkshire Pudding, Creamed

Horseradish & Spinach: for two (per person)

or Almeida

Cote de Boeuf a le moelle, sauce Bernaise on Thursday Plat du Jour

Or Malmaisson also La Trompette

here's google search

i've never eaten a good cote de boef in london actually, though i would have thought a roast rib at rules, while maybe not strictly speaking CdB, would be a pretty good lump of beef. i'm almost (but not quite) ashamed to admit i had a CdB all to myself the other day, well the local organic farm, knowing my love of ribs had saved me a 2 rib, and my girlfriend was away for a while, so i thought what the hell, best CdB i've had!

Another vote for La Trompette CdB

[Andy Lynes]

Smiths of Smithfield have "Islay Cote de Boeuf (For Two to Share) (58 pounds)

- Aged 24 days - Supplied by Gilbert Mactaggart of Islay Butchers". Nearly 60 quid seems like a lot of money.

Bugger me, that's a hell of a price.

Three or four years ago, I paid almost exactly the same amount for a five-bone rib from my local butcher in Edinburgh; five week hang and nearly seven kilos in weight. Glorious beef.

6 week hung White Park from Northfield Farm cooked at my place. Exclusive club though

[Andy Lynes]

Might be worth extending membership if you can get away with charging them £58 for two people.

[Matthew Grant]

Still only a £35 profit and I've still got to pay my girlfriend to do the washing up. Take off gas and Electricity, a couple of side orders and the possibility of a broken glass and I could end up out of pocket!
