Lyle's

It's not every day that you get to eat at one of the top 50 restaurants in the world! I was extremely fortunate to be in London and have the opportunity to dine here!

I had 3 items: I had a raw oyster topped with some apple concoction, and it tasted very lovely and clean. I also had their butternut squash soup! It was amazing! There was a saltiness that perfectly balanced the sweetness of the butternut - it was a gustatory delight. I settled on the deer for the main course.

The deer was very, very tender and very very good. I'm pretty positive that meat is better in the UK. 10/10 experience.

This place far exceeded expectations. The food was phenomenal, service was incredibly personal and detail-oriented, and the atmosphere was quite lovely albeit different than expected. Allergens/dietary restrictions were accommodated beautifully.

I will remember the pheasant broth as one of the best things I have ever tasted. I'm not particularly partial to oysters, but these were fabulous. I walked away trusting the chef with my life. Bravo, great experience!

We made a reservation here for our Anniversary on the last leg of our trip to Europe. This restaurant was my favorite not only because the food was delicious but also because the service and wait staff were phenomenal. Our waiter, Steph was extremely attentive and made our dining experience extra special on more than one occasion. Different staff members greeted us, served us our meal, and made the entire experience a joy. We were given a signed card and a special dessert that was incredible. I will be adding this to my list next time we visit London. This is my kind of Michelin restaurant, everything from the decor to the casual dining experience. Every dish from the tasting menu was so delicious, I'm still thinking about it.

A trendy delicious restaurant in a trendy part of London. The service was great and the food was outstanding. The serving sizes are a bit larger than I'm used to for tasting menus, but not complaining--just an observation. This is definitely worth a try on your visit.

Their oysters are to die for. They add watermelon juice on top of the oysters and omg! Wow!!!

This is my very favorite kind of Michelin restaurant, where not only is the food spectacular, but the service is top-notch and the staff is FUN! Lyle's has been on my to-do list for a while, and I'm glad I finally made it this visit. I highly recommend the wine pairing, as the wines are carefully selected and really enhance the dishes. My favorite courses were actually the starters....especially the veggie one they made to substitute for the Red Mullet one (I can't eat fin fish). It was delish! The only course that didn't really work for me was the dessert, but that' s not surprising, as I generally am not a fan of sweets. Thanks for a lovely evening!

Came by for dinner the other night and it was a world class experience. Definitely understand how this restaurant is listed as #33 on the World's Top 50 restaurants along with a Michelin 1 star.

Made a reservation a couple months in advance and my table was ready upon arrival. Despite the Michelin star, the restaurant was very casual with many wearing trainers and t-shirts.

Lyle's featured a prix fixe meal nightly with the only option being a supplementary cheese course.

Started off the meal with the complimentary sourdough bread with butter that tasted even better as it melted. :) The snack course with the raw oyster and cucumbers were quite unique mixing of different textures and flavors.

The soup course was a light and refreshing course featuring tomato gazpacho along with some very fragrant melons and herbs. Portion was quite generous.

Highlights of the meal included the monkfish course of the evening. The monkfish had a firmer and sweeter texture (similar to lobster) and was cooked to perfection topped with cured mangalits. The peas that complemented this dish were super sweet and extremely flavorful.

The mutton course was also world class with a couple pieces of mutton. Mutton is a touch firmer and tougher than lamb. The mutton was cooked to a perfect rare. The borlotti beans and courgettes were the complements to this course which I didn't quite understand...

The sheep's milk ice cream was also world class as it was non-sweet, even perhaps a touch bitter. The loganberries & oats definitely sweetened this course perfectly.

The last two items from the bakery were mind-boggling. First was a flaky pastry, like a profiterole with some type of custard on the inside, which was phenomenal. The last one was a pound cake with a ton of butter which was also world class. ...the last two items were a memorable way to end off this world class dinner.

~£100/ person for dinner after GST & service.

Incredible. One of my favorite meals from our recent week-long trip to London. The menu and the pictures didn't jump out at me beforehand, but my wife insisted we go and I'm so glad we did.

We went for lunch so we had the a la carte menu, and got two oysters, gazpacho, razor clams, raw scallop, borlotti beans, pork ("Gloucester Old Spot"), ricotta ice cream, and cheeses with honeycomb. Every single bite was excellent, with the gazpacho, scallops, and beans standing out to me, along with their incredible sourdough bread and butter to start. If there's one dish I'll be dreaming of, it'll be the borlotti beans, which were cooked so perfectly and came in an amazing broth.

We'll definitely be back -- maybe for dinner, but I actually like being able to choose what we order for lunch.

It was good but I had huge expectations and it did not work for me as much as I hoped. I had the luck to go to Brat and Clove Club the same week, and while the presentation was comparable or better, the meal did not come together in the same way. I did not care for the oysters as the Mandaran overpowered the oysters. I found the whelk excellent, probably the highlight. I also thought the turbot was very good. While I enjoyed the mallard and it was presented beautifully, it didn't work for me perfectly. Service was efficient but not as warm as comparable restaurants.

Was able to snag a last minute reso.

Service was slow and the food was pretty bland.

Started w/ scallops, which made my tummy turn. At first really enjoyed the grapefruit citrus pairing, but there was something in the seasoning that did not sit well w/ my stomach.

Asparagus might've been the most overpriced vegetable I've ever ordered. Normally I'm a fan of anything w/ an egg accompaniment, but yet again, something was off w/ it. The only good part was using the bread to absorb the sauce aftermath.

The highlight was the eel - much to my surprise. And the beet accompaniment was such an interesting contrast. I'd order it again for sure.

Same w/ the pork belly. Prepared very differently from what I'm used to and I enjoyed how thinly sliced it was.

They should extend their lunch hours to start at 11 or 11:30 at the latest to stagger the people more. It was pretty obvious how busy and overwhelmed both the FOH & BOH got. The pacing of the food was so awkward and I felt like we were always waiting for something.

This was an incredible meal. I got the wine pairing with the dinner tasting menu, and since it changes seasonally and I didn't take notes, I am not going to write details about the food. What I will say is that all the dishes were balanced and complex in the flavors and textures. There were a couple of standouts for me, like a cucumber dish and a mushroom mousse. The wines also definitely augmented the dishes.
