Salt Bae restaurant charging nearly £700 for a steak cuts heating to save cash

Owner of Nusr-Et steakhouse in London says profits rose 44% in 2022 as sales soared by nearly two-thirds

It may charge nearly 700 for its most expensive steak but even the flamboyant condiment-sprinkling chef Salt Bae's London restaurant has been forced to turn off the heating amid soaring energy bills.

Nusr-Et steakhouse, the outlet at the Park Tower hotel in Knightsbridge known for expensive dishes such as 680 wagyu striploin or 630 giant tomahawk steak, said it had made an effort to cut costs despite recording a jump in profits.
