London's Best Seafood Restaurants
"A post shared by London Restaurant Interiors đŹđ§ (@resturantsoflondon) on Jul 4, 2019 at 11:11am PDT. A cosy and slightly more casual seafood restaurant than its sibling nextdoor, J Sheekey Atlantic Bar is perfect for a first date with a seafood lover. Don't be shellfish and share a platter, or to really impress, ask for the off-menu dessert (frozen berries and white chocolate)."
"Restaurants British Covent Garden. J Sheekey lures lovers in with its red canopies on St Martinâs Court. What could appeal more than the chance to knock back a plate of native oysters overlooked by photos of the finest stars of stage and screen?"
"Itâs a piece of prime gastronomic real estate, but M&Ms aside, there isnât much to eat in Leicester Square itself. A claw-crackerâs throw from the neon, though, is some of Londonâs best seafood, courtesy of J."
"Restaurants British Moorgate. Bordered by lavender bushes and olive trees, Michelin-starred Anglerâs chic outdoor terrace has a retractable roof that shields diners from summer rain and winter chills. Sip premium cocktails while scoffing big-money seafood snacks â Porthilly oysters, Cornish sea-bass tartare, Alaskan king crab cromesquis."
"Perched at the top of South Place Hotel, Angler is a Michelin-starred restaurant with a beautiful rooftop terrace, showcasing sustainable seafood from British waters with the best seasonal and local produce."
"A seasonal delight at Angler, on top of the South Place Hotel, is the rooftop terrace with views across the city. A retractable roof extends the availability of coveted terrace sea..."
"Scottâs started out as an oyster bar in 1851, but it has since evolved into one of Mayfairâs iconic restaurants, and a reliable âbankerâ for date nights, meetings, or even solo visits at the bar for oysters and champagne. Dover sole rightly remains a Scottâs classic, served either simply grilled or with a silky meuniĂšre sauce, expertly filleted at the table by one of the slick front of house. It ainât cheap, but a fine fish such as this deserves the royal treatment it gets here."
"The terrace at this Mayfair establishment has long been a spot where you'll find yourself sitting downwind from unrepentant smokers like Ronnie Wood or Charles Saatchi and getting your photo taken by passing paparazzi."
"The seas surrounding our little island are home to some of the best oysters on the planet â a fact Wright Brothers knows only too well. This crop of London restaurants began life as a Borough Market seafood merchants, and it still supplies oysters and seafood to more than 300 restaurants across the capital. Inside its own five restaurants, Wright Brothers serves a seasonally changing selection of oysters from across England, Ireland and occasionally France, which punters can enjoy dressed, smoked and cooked with variations including tempura fried with bonito flakes and sweet miso, or ceviche-style with lime and chilli."
"Not to be confused with the American aviation specialists, these guys are all about seafood, in fact they are the self-professed âseafood experts.â. Weâre not disagreeing having popped into many of their London outposts (they boast five from Battersea to Borough) for a glass of bubbles and a plate of oysters on many occasions over the years. Check out their daily changing specials showcasing the best of British seafood straight off the boats at Brixham Market or order the Full House seafood platter for the perfect long lazy lunch."
"The Wright Brothers have made seafood many things: sustainable, curated, and very cool. Embedded in Spitalfields Market within a stone's throw of folksy menswear boutiques and the vintage racks, The Wright Brothers seem to have absorbed the identity of the east for their latest addition to their set of restaurants and oyster bars. But all that brassy, stylish veneer hasn't distracted from the Wright Brothers's commitment to taste and sustainability."
"What: Uncomplicated, simple serves are the order of the day at The Oystermen, which started life as a pop up. The small kitchen at the Covent Garden restaurant produces delightful treats such as anchovies on toast, smoked cod roe with lavash bread, and, of course, oysters. However, itâs not just about the small plates here; more substantial fish dishes such as Scottish cod with chestnut purĂ©e also come expertly cooked.Where: 32 Henrietta Street, WC2E 8NA"
"There is a tiny red alarm button in our brain labelled âBOUGIE FUNâ that we mentally hit every single time we have oysters. As all seafood fans know, oysters, octopus, and clams, are all dishes that taste exponentially better when you eat them outside in the sunshine. We have no idea why, itâs just a fact."
"Restaurants Seafood Tooting"
"The first Bonnie Gull âseafood shackâ really did look as if it had been picked up from the coast - Southwold, perhaps - and reeled in to a street corner in Fitzrovia, where its driftwood furniture, gingham tablecloths and striped awnings are at once both rakish and nostalgic. Grilled sardines are a punchy treat, with their salsa of coriander and mango, while the whole plaice provides more than enough fish, delicately flavoured with lemon and olive oil, for at least two diners. The Fitzrovia menu is divided more traditionally into starters and main courses: roast cod from Looe with glazed pig cheek is a highlight of the latter."
"Restaurants British Soho. Youngsters can imagine theyâre by the seaside at this dinky cockle-warmer, where the jaunty maritime-themed decor is matched by a menu of flappingly fresh fish from British waters. Come here for fastidiously prepared and ding-dong delicious small plates, classic battered haddock and other treats from old Blighty."
"English food might not have the best reputation in the world, but there are a few things better than a delicious serving of fish and chips. And lucky you, London has some of the best in the entire world. But donât settle for any old chippy, go to a place that serves high-quality fish and hand-cut chips."
"Tables are in high demand, and best reserved a few months ahead at Brett Graham's restaurant. The menu's a love-letter to the British countryside, prepared with with inimitable self-assurance, and is perfect for a special occasion. The dishes are constantly changing, though certain favorites recur, like a truffle-laced pheasantâs egg thatâs nothing short of sublime."
"Awarded two Michelin stars, The Ledbury in Notting Hill truly is French dining at its finest. Led by award-winning head chef Brett Graham, each dish is presented like a work of art. Rare meats are served on wooden boards, starters on oversized plates and desserts are almost too beautiful to eat."
"Brett Graham has long been in charge of the kitchen at The Ledbury. Australian chef/patron Brett Graham has been wowing diners at The Ledbury since 2005. It earned its first Michelin star just a year later and added a second in 2010, which it retains to this day."
"One of London's oldest Michelin-starred restaurants â itâs held at least one star since 1993 â has a fantastic vegetarian/vegan menu showcasing the assured classical French with a touch of Greek cooking of chef Asimakis Chaniotis, served in one of the cityâs most fun dining rooms."
"Gorgeously gourmet, and surprisingly reasonable amongst French restaurants with Michelin stars. Pied Ă Terreâs lunch menu is ÂŁ29.50 for a starter and main, or ÂŁ37.50 for three courses, which is likely as cheap as youâll get for this standard of cooking."
"White asparagus with samphire, bitter leaves and gem lettuce from the vegan tasting menu at Pied aÌ Terre. Got a special occasion coming up?. Looking to treat someone special?"
"Restaurants Chinese Soho. The original of a Sichuan gang that also includes BaoziInn, Barshu is a refreshing change from Chinatownâs mostly Cantonese restaurants. Come here for prairie tripe, fragrant and hot pigâs trotters, stir-fried chicken gizzards with pickled chilli and other fiery tongue-tinglers â just remember to have plenty of soothing tea on tap."
"Chinatown, like the indomitable village in Asterix, has largely held out against the culinary renaissance that has transformed the capital into the roiling galaxy of restaurants, tasting rooms and trend-infused âconceptsâ that it is today. To go into Soho, to those identikit MSG joints feels like a throwback to the Dark Ages. Leave it to the tourists, right?"
"You might think Bar Shu â adorned with slatted blinds, latticed woodwork and tasselled lanterns â was a sweet-and-sour honeytrap for Soho tourists; but you'd be missing out on possibly the best Sichuan food in... Top ChoiceBritish in East London"
