The best outdoor restaurants in London to book now
"One of London's properly iconic restaurants, Sheeky's have been serving up seafood to Londoners for over 100 years. The setting, tucked in an unassuming passageway linking Charing Cross Road to St Martin's Lane, means it's always been popular with London's theatre folk, popping in here post-performance as well as other A-listers. Here's where you'll find local thespians enjoying the restaurant's classic fish pie and oyster platters."
"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 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..."
"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."
"Scottâs is a London restaurant that holds fast against its glamour and quality fading, with its terrace still one of the most coveted reservations in the city and its seafood cookery still some of the most outstanding."
"As one of the oldest restaurants in Londonâit started out as an oyster bar in 1851âScott's Restaurant has certainly proved its ability to evolve with the ever-changing trends of co..."
"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."
"One of the original seafood restaurants in London, the Wright Brothers are well-known for their oysters, farmed at their own Cornish Duchy oyster farm, as well as selecting the best from the British Isles and France. From ceviche style to a Mediterranean twist with pomegranate, balsamic and spring onion, the Wright Brothers are truly the kings of oysters. If oysters arenât your thing, donât despair as the rest of their menu is just as delicious."
"A trip to Maidstone cannot be complete without understanding its rich heritage. The art and cultural activities in Maidstone will give you an insight into the city's history, traditions, and artwork. While visiting the cultural attractions in Maidstone would prove to be informative, attending its artsy events will leave you entertained."
"Randall and Aubinâs resplendent window display on Brewer Street in Soho fixates onlookers in the way that the neighbourhoodâs sex shops once did. The restaurant remains one of central Londonâs most reliable restaurants to eat fresh shellfish â a full platter costs ÂŁ44.50 per person and can be upgraded with a half lobster for an additional ÂŁ22.50. Its white tiling and chess board floor recalls a seafood bar of yesteryear, which, in a changing and increasingly homogenised Soho, is something that should be cherished."
"What:Randall & Aubin has been a stalwart of the London seafood scene ever since it opened in 1996. This Soho haunt is decked out with marble counters for old world glamour while the food menu consists of a mixture of English and French seafood favourites. Choose from the beautiful shellfish-on-ice display or opt for a classic such as bouillabaisse or linguine vongole.Where: 16 Brewer Street, W1F 0SQ"
"Originally Londonâs first butcherâs shop, this place has been transformed over the years in to a popular seafood eatery while keeping its original Victorian features. With high marble tops and stools it has an informal and friendly feel â especially thanks to the giant glitter ball above. Go classic with the the creamy moules marinieres, French fries and crusty baguette to mop it all up with."
"Restaurants American Soho. Like it says on the tin, you know where you are with the flashily decorated Burger & Lobster chain. Hand-minced burgers (made with Nebraskan beef) and lobsters (shipped over from Nova Scotia) are the star attractions, with back-up from lobster rolls, oysters and other affordably luxurious hits."
"Like it says on the tin, you know where you are with the flashily decorated Burger & Lobster chain.

"We take pride in the range of seafood we sell, and we use local, seasonal, organic produce whenever we can. All our dishes are invented, created and freshly prepared in our kitchen, which means we can cater for most dietary requirements. And because we care about our planet, we practise #Meatless..."
"For most British diners, lobster has a very definite reputation â fancy AF. But while the meat is always at a high price point, our American cousins arenât quite as burdened with the same white-tablecloth associations. Enter Bobâs Lobster, Londonâs (relatively) new lobster roll king, which has recently turned its roving seafood van into a permanent restaurant and wine bar."
"BOB's Lobster Wine Bar & Kitchen serves delicious seafood dishes in London Bridge, with a quirky street-food twist in the form of a VW campervan. Signature dishes include ahi tuna tacos, lobster mac 'n' cheese, lobster roll and a ÂŁ1 oyster happy hour every weekday."
"The one by Garden at 120 This healthy grab-and-go restaurant is famous for its Field Trays; flavour-packed proteins with your choice of grains, salads and sides all dished up in a compartmentalised tray for less than ÂŁ8. A different day brings with it a different combination; pair your harissa chicken with brown rice, cavalo nero and bean salad and a tarragon dressing, or match grilled salmon fillets with pesto, sweet potato chips and wilted greens. The offerings are just that little bit different compared to most takeaway joints in the City, lending from Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Asian cuisines."
"13/06/2021: Non so se sia cambiato qualcosa nel corso degli anni, ma come rapporto qualitĂĄ / prezzo Ăš sempre stato ottimo. Si puĂł scegliere il grado di piccante del pollo ( veramente buono ) e le bibite sono self service e a volontĂĄ ,con un prezzo fisso nel menĂș che si sceglie.Mi sono fermato piu volte da Nando's e sono contento che questa catena sia resistita nel corso degli anni.Consigliato. 29/05/2021: Went to Nando's because we were starving."
"This Portuguese chain is the peopleâs choice for peri-peri chicken, but also makes its money with burgers, wraps, pittas, salads and steaks. As a family-friendly go-to option, it has special menus for young ânandinosâ too. Flagship site: 10 Frith Street, W1D 3JF"
"Nestled on the riverbanks of the Thames, Pitcher & Piano offers stunning views from its prime location and pretty terrace space. Head to this gem of a Richmond bar and you'll find classic breakfasts, Sunday roasts, hearty burgers and plenty more with an extensive range of drinks to keep you refreshed."
"This summertime favourite by Richmond Bridge is noted for its terrace with stunning views of the river. Perfect for al fresco dining."
"Japan and Peru may be nearly 10,000 miles away from each other, but they have more in common that you may think. When Japanese immigrants first arrived in the south American country in the 19th century, they discovered a mutual love of raw fish, which lead to the creation of the fusion nikkei cuisine. Soho restaurant Chotto Matte is perpetually throwing a party to celebrate its love of nikkei food, with dishes on the menu including a star dish scallop aji amarillo nigiri, which sees sweet scallop mixed with sour, fiery South American chilli."
"Chef Yoshinori Ishii trained at one of Japanâs most revered kaiseki restaurants Kitcho, went to become the chef-in-residence of Japanese Embassies in Switzerland and USA, and moved to Umu in 2010. Contrary to the belief that chefs should stay and work hard in their own kitchen, Ishii has been spending time profitably outside Umu, mostly in Cornwall, in order to elevate the ways locally caught fish could be treated â he introduced ike jime practice to Cornish fishermen â and to source directly into his restaurant. On the menu, find many world-class fish caught in the Cornish waters: from mackerel and sardine, to red mullet and turbot, to squid and spiny lobster â as well as extraordinary wild eels from Ireland."
"Down a cobbled street in Mayfair hidden behind a sliding door, Umu, meaning âborn of natureâ, uses the freshest ingredients sourced from Japan to create Kyoto-style Kaiseki cuisine. Each plate is meticulously created and presented like a work of art. Try the âKaisekiâ tasting menu for the full experience."
