London Foodies ‘Lovebomb’ Angus Steakhouses to Ward Off Tourists

In a hilariously inventive strategy, foodies in London have started a campaign to “lovebomb” Aberdeen Angus Steakhouses in a bid to protect their favorite local restaurants from being overrun by tourists. The idea is simple: boost the popularity of Angus Steakhouses by flooding them with positive online reviews, praising them as the must-visit culinary hotspots for all visiting food lovers. By redirecting tourists to these iconic but generally underrated steak spots, London’s food aficionados hope to preserve the ambiance and availability at beloved hidden gems and local eateries.

On Reddit, the plan is in full swing: users are dubbing Angus “one of central London’s best-kept secrets” and even raving about its “authentic London steak experience.”

One commenter gushes about the “steak sandwich at the Leicester Square Angus Steakhouse” as if it were Michelin material, calling it “fancy and photogenic for selfies.” Another quips, “Even for vegetarians like me, Angus Steakhouse is the ultimate London destination,” jokingly adding that “Angus personally welcomed me in his house and whipped up an incredible beef tomato steak… so succulent!”

It’s all done with tongue firmly in cheek, of course, but the tactic is both a humorous social experiment and a cheeky attempt at crowd control. London’s bustling food scene has seen countless once-undiscovered gems flooded by tourists after a single trending article or viral post. Rather than watching their go-to spots get overrun, locals are offering up an alternative: the familiar, centrally-located Angus Steakhouses, which might just become the new tourist mainstay.

Angus Steakhouse is an iconic British chain known for its straightforward, classic steakhouse fare. With locations throughout London, including tourist hotspots like Leicester Square, Angus Steakhouse serves a variety of steak cuts, burgers, and sides in a casual, family-friendly setting. Its menu features options like sirloin, ribeye, and fillet, all served with traditional accompaniments like fries and sauce choices. The décor is cozy and retro, with bold red accents and dark wood interiors that give it an old-school, nostalgic feel.

While Angus Steakhouse may not be celebrated as a culinary destination by locals, it’s become a familiar sight for tourists seeking hearty, no-fuss dining in central London. The chain is known for being accessible and consistent, offering visitors a taste of British steakhouse culture in a comfortable, unpretentious environment. For many, it’s a convenient go-to spot for a quick and filling meal amid sightseeing adventures.

Whether this lovebombing will actually reroute the tourists remains to be seen, but one thing’s clear: London’s food lovers will protect their turf, and maybe with some laughs along the way!
