We sat at the bar for a few minutes and it was so pretty, like a movie from old timey London. We both ordered a gin martini and they were perfect. Next we ordered the set restaurant month menu with three courses - a total steal. I enjoyed the salted cod and egg dish for appetizer, the salmon for an entree and chocolate ice cream for dessert. We also split the fish pie because we wanted to try it and I would highly recommend ordering that - it was very unique and unlike something I had tasted recently. The salmon was also cooked perfectly and was my favorite dish. The ambience was so nice, it was like an old movie set and the booth we sat at was really comfortable and stylish.

Seeing people walk away with a sandwich tray piled sith freshly shaven Parmesan, drew us in, and so glad it did. Such a uniquely delicious and hearty sandwich. The line is long, but it goes pretty quick. Highly recommend getting it. We shared one, but could have easily eaten one on our own. It's ok, bc it leaves room for us to try something else. Northfield Farm Got the special Rueben and shared it. It has salt beef, emmental cheese, sour kraut, pickles and their secret sauce. It was cool to see him make it in front of you quickly.

Tourist trap, but delicious strawberries…read more You probably don't need my review to tell you this is a place to visit when in London. Going in for the first time, don't expect to have a place to stand or sit. We struggled a bit to enjoy our food -- hovering over a flower planter box while the wind blew away all of the cheese from our sandwiches, haha! We had to visit this place two times because there were too many items we wanted to try. The first experience felt like a disaster. Everyone was packed in like sardines while the loud speaker was warning us of pickpocketing on a weekday. The second experience, we arrived at 10:30AM and had a more enjoyable experience, hence the 3/5 rating. Items we tried: 1. The Ginger Pig - Sausage roll was too greasy in my opinion. 3/5 2. The Black Pig - "The Best One" was delicious and very filling. It's ideal to split since there are two sandwiches in one tray. The parmesan was flying everywhere because it was a windy day. 4/5 3. Bread Ahead - We tried a few donuts, but the stand out was the Crème Brûlée. I may have eaten too much, I couldn't enjoy this one 3/5 4. Kappacasein Dairy - "Toastie" was absolutely as toasty as it sounds. The bread was crispy and crunchy, the cheese was unreal. 5/5 5. Bomba Paella - Lobster Paella was expensive and the portion was small. The paella was average. 3/5 6. Turnips - viral chocolate covered strawberries. They're expensive, but worth it. This was the only thing we went back twice for. It's that good! Super refreshing. The strawberries were exactly what we needed after eating a ton of heavy food. 5/5 Everything at Borough Market was quite expensive, but that's expected at a tourist spot.

My wife and I chose this place for our last dinner in London before heading back home to DFW. I had…read moreread about this restaurant in some top 10 lists for foodies visiting London and was dying to check it out. First, it's not in the busy part of London where you would expect a restaurant of this caliber to be but rather it is in a very blue-collar neighborhood on the south side of London. It is a VERY cozy place with only seven tables but that is how they keep the quality and experience so great. The decor is as if you are on an old fishing ship. Reservations are highly recommended but we got there right when they opened (7pm) and thankfully they let us have a table. After being seated the hostess showed us the days specials and they ranged from fantastic scallops to lobster with every choice as good as the last. My wife and I chose the Chef's Choice 8 course dinner. The dinner comprised of a delicious sardine sandwich followed by a fillet of night perch which was then followed by lobster that melted in your mouth. Then we had a pallet cleanser of a light peach sorbet with a shot of vodka poured over it. The meal resumed with a grilled piece of pork belly (I got the "meat" choice) while my wife had a grilled hallibut (she got the "fish" choice). The next course was a warmed cheese (I believe it was gruyere) in pastry accompanied by a small mixed green salad with aged balsamic. The dessert courses were a delicious crepe with creme bruille filling and the end course was a pear puree along with a chocolate pudding with a hint of mint. We loved this place even though the name sort of threw us off at first. When you hear "The Lobster Pot" I imagine a bunch of seniors getting off a day-tour bus to a casino at a truck stop or something but this experience was far from what I first imagined. I would highly recommend spending some of your tourist dollars here at this restaurant.

A delightfully decorative place complete with seagulls singing sea shanty classics on loop. Terrified but glorious goldfish adorning the cabin window walls, really every maritime detail had been thought of, even staff in cabin costumes, it was as cheesy as the lobster Thermidor. So fun. I loved being bibbed up too, I like knowing things are gonna get messy. The Meli, a melee of seafood; half lobster, sea bass, spicy grilled perch, razor clam (touch over done), squid kebab (could've been flavoured more) but all in a sea of buttery champagne and avruga sauce. No tide could hold me back from wanting to lick my plate or use this as a moisturiser, oh my golly so delicious. It came served with enough perfectly cooked veg that my mother would approve of too.

(I heard the non GF version was also excellent.) Platter came with flavorful mushy peas, tartar sauce, and a spicy mayo (or currry for the non GF platter). Chips were large and delicious. Portion was huge, and easily shareable. Delicious!! Service: It was ok. We waited in line for a really long time (more than an hour) but we were checked on from time to time. Once we were seated and ordered, no one really checked in, but we asked if we needed something. Ambiance: Cute outdoor seating. In door seating was okay. Reservations get to go into a back room which seemed nicer. Lovely side street in a crazy busy popular area. It's a solid 4.5 stars for what it is because the food was so good. I'd return. Tip: Make a reservation a couple of weeks in advance, or be prepared to wait...a long time...Or, skip the line to order takeaway and go enjoy your food!

He even took the time to listen to details of our trip and gave recommendations. I would recommend this spot especially if you're staying at The Hoxton or nearby in the Southwark area.

I think it was on a seeded bun, but I don't know which one. The burger was super juicy. Medium rare and delicious. London whips up a mean burger. That's it's crown jewel. The fries were a bit thicker for 'chips' but the Parmesan and black truffle really turned something sublime into something extraordinary . The quality of the 8 oz burger meat really made this truly special . Would order again if i lived here. But only on occasion because it's super pricy.

I also love that most of the time, you can walk in without a reservation and get seated for dessert. I honestly think it'd be a crime to visit London and not stop by Hawksmoor.
