A daringly different and very confident restaurant with just one meal available, HQ is a dining experience to remember. The only decision diners need make at this unique restaurant is how they’d like the 250g aged sirloin steak. This is the only meal on the menu and is served with crisp French fries and a butter sauce. A small starter of lettuce with toasted pine nuts and parmesan begins the meal and a choice of 10 desserts ends it. A vegetarian option is available but this is really more a spot for those who appreciate a tender steak. Come for a unique dining experience and superb steak at HQ.
