The Best Seafood Restaurants In London
"J Sheekey has been at the centre of London's seafood scene since 1890 and continues to serve immaculately sourced and perfectly prepared seafood dishes, including their famous fish pie. However, for a romantic meal, share a fruits de mer platter for a feast of oysters, prawns, langoustines and crab. The restaurant itself has maintained its late-Victorian charm with panelled interiors that are intimate without being overbearing."
"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)."
"J Sheekey, aka âSheekeyâs,â has been a major player on the West End fish and shellfish scene since the 1890s. It is as dependable as it is theatrical, and the exemplary fish pieâs velvety cream sauce over cod, salmon and haddock makes it a comfort-food superstar."
"Perched atop South Place Hotel, Anglerâs 40-seat west-facing roof terrace boasts lovely views of the city. Chef Gary Foulkes heads up the Michelin-starred kitchen, which serves up a fish-focused menu of dishes like Cornish turbot with scallop stuffed courgette and Dorset crab with bouillabaisse sauce. anglerrestaurant.com"
"South Place Hotel, 3 South Place, Moorgate, London, EC2M 2AF. The proud holder of a Michelin star, Angler in The City also boats an outdoor terrace and a stunning seafood-focused menu. Donât skip a tartare to start and go all in on lobster for mains."
"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."
"What: Owned by the people behind The Ivy, Scottâs has earned its place as a London institution and rightly so. Come here for service that will make you feel like a VIP and, decadent seafood dishes, and Champagne by the magnum. Once youâve made the decision to go to Scottâs it would seem wrong to order anything other than a whole lobster, or at minimum a whole fish on the bone to share.Where: 20 Mount Street, Mayfair, W1K 2HE"
"There's nothing like a seafood platter to get romance flowing, and Scott's certainly delivers with its gargantuan plate of crustaceans â you can even add lobster for a little extra. Other delicacies at this fish-focused restaurant include skate wing, monkfish and halibut."
"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."
"What:Wright Brothers has earnt such a name for itself in the Capital over the past few years that is now has no less than five outposts. Still renowned for serving up some of Londonâs best oysters, other top shouts at Wright Brothers include a smoky mackerel pate, buttery potted shrimps and sublimely handled turbot, or you can choose from a range of daily specials.Where: Various locations"
"Mark Hixâs plush and moody Brewer Street restaurant wouldnât be the first place that would come to mind to take a child. But given the chef himself has campaigned for better food in restaurants for children, itâs actually rather apt. Itâs not the cheapest restaurant in town, most items on the children's menu cost around ÂŁ7, but there is a 'kids under 10 eat free' special that pops up on a regular basis."
"Though it's unlikely to spring to mind immediately, Mark Hixâs Soho is a very welcoming to families dining in London. The regular menu is packed with fantastic seafood and great steaks and the hearty kidsâ menu is full of great options too, meaning no compromise is necessary for parents and children alike. Well worth a try the next time youâre eating out."
"This is a unique example of a celebrated gourmet restaurantâŚwith a kidsâ menu!. HIX Mayfair is the perfect balance between a nice sit-down meal and an experience kids will actually enjoy. The beautiful interior is accented by different pieces of artwork, which gives the place a unique feel."
"What: All three outposts of Londonâs Fishworks (Marylebone, Soho and Covent Garden) manage to seamlessly blend the maritime charm of the English coastline with the sophistication of central Londonâs dining scene. The biggest selling point at Fishworks is its onsite fishmongers which allow you to choose from the catches of the day. Dishes on the menu range from seafood and samphire linguini to a whole steamed lobster.Where: 89 Marylebone High Street, W1U 4QW; 7-9 Swallow Street, W1B 4DE; 2-4 Catherine Street, WC2B 5JY"
"No trip to London is complete without indulging in the British classic, fish and chips. Every Londoner will lay claim to his or her favorite neighborhood âchippy,â so the options for enjoying this greasy goodness are endless. For a more upscale experience, try The Chipping Forecast in charming Notting Hill."
"Costa Azul is one of the few Latin American restaurants in Elephant and Castle to specialise in Ecuadorian food, very much with a coastal bias. Itâs the seafood that brings groups of people here every Thursday â Sunday evening: in soup, in stews, in rice, grilled, boiled, fried, in ceviche. Specifics: encocado mixto is a coconut rich stew of prawns, squids and mussels on rice; a super arroz marinero is essentially the same again, but mixed in with wet rice to a slightly-drier-than-risotto consistency with a side of sea bass fillet, breaded prawns and crab claws."
"This water meadow is a good place for some quiet relaxation and outdoor games by the riverside. The edges of the meadow are rich in wildlife, and much of the western waterfront offers a good view of the lock."
"One of the highlights of visiting Kew Gardens in summer is seeing the stunning Rose Garden behind the Palm House. The Rose Garden at Kew Gardens is home to 170 different species and cultivars of rose, with bold plantings of mixed shrub roses."
"So-called 'dirty ice-cream' is actually a term of endearment used to describe the homemade ice-cream you'll find on the streets of Manila. Expect to find quite different flavours to what you might be used to - their signature is Ube - a purple-hued ice-cream made with Filipino purple yam - but they also serve up a salty queso flavour and a vegan guyabano sorbet. Delivery: via their online shop"
"Ice cream thatâs sold on the streets of Manila is nicknamed âdirty ice creamâ. Known for being super affordable yet still delicious, itâs made using little more than ice, salt, a steel pot and a pair of strong hands. Mamasons Dirty Ice Cream is the first filipino ice cream parlour in London and they try to recapture the authenticity, and of course, simplicity of Manila ice cream."
"Giraffe is a world kitchen offering a range of cuisines cooked with ingredients from around the globe. The restaurant has a children's menu priced at ÂŁ6.50 which is available all day every day, serving a main, dessert and a drink. Where: Riversideat The Oracle, Reading town centre"
"Giraffe serves international food from all over the world, they serve a delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner, the kids menus are great too!. Brunch is served until 5pm. There are also a variety of smoothies, cocktails and desserts â try the whoopie cookie!"
"With a sunny atmosphere and splashes of creativity, Giraffe showcases a crowd-pleasing menu. As well as the signature Giraffe concoctions, diners can choose from meat, fish and vegetarian recipes from all over the globe. Tasty treats are served fromâŚ"
