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

Owner of Nusr-Et Steakhouse 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 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.
