I'm enjoying a restful week which includes a supper with a dear friend here: https://lyons-restaurant.com

This North London, independent & family run haven brings you some of the very best seafood.

Anywhere.

From the Lyon's mouth, as it were:

"We showcase sustainable seafood mostly sourced from the British Isles with dishes that are designed to be shared. Oysters are served either classically or dressed with specific garnish to compliment the texture and flavours of the individual oysters. There are also a selection of snacks, smaller and larger plates which always features a whole chargrilled fish and at least one meat dish. We source the freshest fish possible and respect the quality of ingredients by letting the produce sing. Desserts are a short line up of cheese and two sweet treats." ..

I took myself here for a solo lunch a couple of years back & had been so keen to return once the various lockdowns had disappeared. Great food matched by great service.

Good to return & this time with company. We decided that Small Plates & Snacks would be our route on the evening.
