Assenheims Bar and Grill is a South American inspired restaurant at 12 Smithfield Street. Part of a London business founded in 1989, the Smithfield branch is geared toward breakfast and lunch with fast, practical service for the surrounding working district.
Grilled marinated chicken is the signature protein, served in portions that let diners choose the size of their meal. Colombian pulled beef offers a slow cooked alternative, with both designed to pair with the brand’s bright green sauce of lemon and coriander.
Red rice, roasted potatoes, fajita vegetables and mixed grilled vegetables create a flexible base for the meat. The modular format makes it easy to assemble a balanced box, while South American influenced sandwiches provide a more portable choice.
The food is direct, generously seasoned and suited to a weekday schedule rather than a long formal dinner. Assenheims is particularly useful for diners who want grilled protein and vegetables with distinctive sauces in a lively Smithfield lunch room.
Address: 12 Smithfield Street, London EC1A 9LA, England
