London's Best Seafood Restaurants

An open woodfire restaurant that takes you to the Basque Country for a moment and really lives up to it’s reputation. The grilled turbot is out of this world but in fact all other courses are also tasty as hell! All in a no nonsense environment paired with a broad selection of top producers, sophisticated cocktails and attentive staff!

Delicious fresh seafood sharing plates in Notting Hill.Small menu but everything is delicious and nicely presented.The Dorset clams are amazing!

One of the best dishes I’ve had, is this Pithivier St Jacques from Pique Nique. Although this was only a New Year’s Eve special, their daily wellington specials, including the seabass wellington looks good!

Best place in London? No. Favourite place in London? Very probably. Never had a bad meal here, great seafood, and a kitchen that knows when to leave ingredients to their own devices (and what ingredients they are) but, when they do "interfere" do so to frequently dazzling effect, with a great understanding of flavours: the pictured oysters with jalapeño, kalamansi and dill being a case in point. Best value happy hour in London too: six (first rate) oysters, glass of Crémant for a tenner.

Amazing high-end Greek restaurant. Delicious seafood (especially the fish), beautiful tables.Highly recommend for a special lunch!

Bistro extravaganzaVisited in 2018! Amazing food quality, everything to share. Easy and nice service. Super boheme location with cosy corner seatings and illustrious guests. Bar staff great…..amazing cocktails and also a super nice seafood raw bar. It's loud and I love it!

Delicious upmarket greek food. Great spot for greek food in Notting hill. Sharing plates concept. More on the expensive side but worth it. Recommend the sea bream carpaccio.

Couldn’t recommend enough for a date night. All the food is delicious, especially the oysters and the king prawns.Great location in Soho.

Briny, avant-garde delights from Leo CarreiraChef Leo Carreira's chef's table experience in Haggerston (there is a more casual sister restaurant in Chelsea) is what you'd expect from an ex Mugaritz man. Very experimental and technical but with nods to and plays on Portuguese food culture and traditions that ensure there is still a warmth and fun there. All delicious. I had an incredible flourless langoutine 'wedding cake' (pictured) which was unlike anything I'd ever eaten before, and was again, a play on a traditional recipe (Carreira has also published an extensive Portuguese cookbook).

The heart of LondonWelcoming seafood restaurant in the heart of Piccadilly. Been dining here countless of times and always recommend it to friends visiting London. Would suggest sitting at the downstairs oyster bar, if space. They serve the best oysters the Island can offer.

Choose your catch and indulge in this West End fish restaurant The restaurant offers a traditional wet fish counter where you can buy fish to take home and cook yourself, or you can select any fish or crustacean with the fishmonger and have it cooked there and then - whopper prawns, tuna, cod, trout, halibut, flounder, grouper. Plenty of French, Rock and Native oysters. Plus, a show-stopping Fruits de Mer. The atmosphere is great both weekends and midweek, just off Regent Street and London’s West End.

Tasty, authentic Southern Thai food in central London. Lukie Farrell’s flagship restaurant in JKS’ Arcade Foodhall serves up super tasty and probably one of the most authentic renditions of Southern Thai cooking in London. Think fiery, fragrant kua-gling, wok fried prawns with curry paste and sato beans, and sour and spicy seafood gang som (orange curry) that will make you sweat as though you’re sitting at a real road-side “Khao gaeng” shop in Phuket. Small-ish portions mean you can try lots of different dishes - the way it should be! - even just between two. Dont forget to order a jug of Cha-Yen (Thai milk tea) which is deliciously fragrant, refreshing and not so easy to find outside of Thailand.

Delicious gastropub with great outdoor dining.Really recommend this place for dinner. My two highlights were the prawns and the princess parmigiana. Amazing service with friendly staff and great atmosphere as well!

Superb seafood-focused tasting menu There was much furore when Andy Beynon's London Fields restaurant was awarded a Michelin star after just 20 full days of opening, but one visit to Behind and you'll discover that Michelin were bang on the money. It's a chef's table style restaurant, seafood-focused, with soft spoken Andy guiding you through the menu. The cooking is confident and technically strong without being uneccessarily showy. Easily one of the best meals I've had in London.

North-African inspired counter dining in a buzzy spotThe Barbary flys a little bit under the radar I think, but this small, loud and buzzy restaurant in Neal's Yard is great fun. Take a seat at the counter and dive into breads and dips and delicious grilled meat and seafood - the 'cigars' and the chicken shawarma are ace.

Covent Garden’s favourite French bistro.A wonderful French bistro with a really nice ambience in the Covent Garden theatre district. Balthazar may be familiar to many from New York City’s SoHo and this is pretty much the same. Typical French bistro food and a rich oyster and fish bar. I love the atmosphere in both locations. Reserve well in advance due to its popularity. A theatre followed by Balthazar makes a perfect experience. Try sole, sea bass, lobster, tartar or filé de beauf.

Superb modern English cuisine in a wonderful art & design settingJamie Shears works closely with local farmers and creates a truly exciting menu of modern English food. Strong recommendation. Try their amazing lobster pie or the Pimlico pigeons. The dessert list is nicely focused on puddings but not the way you think. English food CAN be delicious, we learned. Very nice art and design.
