The Soulville Steakhouse, Nottingham

We've been slacking on posts lately, sorry! Time to catch up :)

As a birthday treat, Mario took me to The Soulville Steakhouse, which is located on Queen Street, very close to Market Square. We'd seen the menu before and had tried to go but it had always been full! We made sure to book a table as we definitely wanted to go for my birthday!

The décor to the restaurant is amazing! Full of photos and portaits of Motown and Soul singers with a functioning jukebox in the corner so you can select your favourite tracks!

The menu does have more to offer than steak, but we decided we couldn't go to a steakhouse and not have steak! There was a handy info-sheet explaining the different cuts of meat etc.

Mario decided to have a 14oz T-Bone steak with mashed potato (£19.95) and Jack Daniels sauce (£1.95) on the side.


The steak was huge, as you can see, and it came with a mountain of mashed potato! He asked for his steak to be cooked medium-rare and it was cooked perfectly. It was still pink in the middle and the meat was very tender. The steak came with an onion ring, mushrooms and a side salad. The mashed potato was very smooth with a lovely and rich, buttery taste. For me, the potato was too rich, but Mario didn't have any complaints!

I chose the 6oz fillet steak with chips (£16.95) and a red wine gravy with caramelised red onion and smoked bacon (£1.95).


My steak doesn't look as impressive as Mario's but believe me, it was just as delicious! I also asked to have mine cooked medium-rare and my steak was a gorgeous pink colour inside. The meat was so tender and absolutely delicious! Words cannot describe how good it was. The chips were very tasty, but they weren't as delicious as Mario's mashed potato! The gravy was the most delicious part of the meal I think. It complimented my steak perfectly and also went really well with the chips.

We were too full to have a dessert each, but after perusing the dessert menu, we decided we couldn't go without trying the toffee crunch pie! It is a chocolate flavoured pastry with a sticky white chocolate fudge filling, topped with crunchy dime bar pieces, and it's served with fresh cream, although I asked it to be served with vanilla ice cream. (£3.95)


Look at how pretty it is!! The presentation was very impressive, drizzled with chocolate sauce and toffee sauce. The pie itself was very tasty and very sweet! It's definitely not the dessert for you unless you have a sweet tooth. I felt like the ice cream went well with the sweetness of the pie as it didn't add to it at all, even with all the sauce.

We would definitely recommend this restaurant to meat eaters, although there are vegetarian options available. I would advise you to book a table though to save disappointment. Call 0115 941 2014 for a table or visit the website at http://www.thesoulvillesteakhouse.com/ for more information :)
