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!

They add watermelon juice on top of the oysters and omg! Wow!!!

home to the micro-seasonal, modern British cooking of chef James Lowe. With a short tasting menu at dinner and à la carte options at lunch, Lyle's explores British delights like green asparagus with nettle and egg yolk in spring, or duck breast with preserved wild mulberries in autumn. Everything is served in a spacious, light-filled dining room in the historic Tea Building, once a Lipton factory, in the foodie-favourite neighbourhood of Shoreditch.
Be the first to ReplyA 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.
Be the first to ReplyWas 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.

Awful staff and poor management. Million great places in London do not waste your time here

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!

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.
Be the first to ReplyThis 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.

Go for lunch, when you can order a la carte, and the beautiful London summer sun shines into their airy dining room. Razor clams are superb. Their bread is fantastic.
Be the first to ReplyIncredible.
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.
Be the first to ReplyCame by for dinner the other night and it was a world class
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.
Be the first to ReplyLovely all around.
Very helpful, pleasant and attentive staff. The food was mostly excellent. The oysters and fried mussels were perfect and definitely hot favourites. The Pollack with brown butter sauce was a little below average, but by no means terrible. The most impressive part was the great atmosphere. The place was packed, but the music was kept at a good level meaning you had no problems chatting with people at your table. Would definitely go again.
Be the first to ReplyI really wanted to like Lyle's because we had been waiting
I really wanted to like Lyle's because we had been waiting for so long. I might have overhyped it in my head because of the Michelin and worlds best 50 rating. Service/COVID: I thought they did a really nice job. High quality and safe service, a distanced restaurant and all the right precautions. Food: this is where I was let down. I sometimes get a vegetarian tasting menu when I don't want to ask to substitute some things I don't like. I got a vegetarian menu here. I would rank several restaurants more highly than this on the worlds 50 in London because of their treatment of the veggie menu. It felt like an afterthought vs. spending time to make delicious vegetarian meals. The flavors weren't there and the creativity was missing for mine. For example, he started with a lovely oyster and some sauces and roe and tomatoes and mine was a cucumber slice with a nut butter. I just expected more given their ranking.
Be the first to ReplyWe made a reservation to Lyle's based on the top 50
We made a reservation to Lyle's based on the top 50 restaurant in the world (#33 in 2019 list), 1 Star Michelin and a 59 pounds menu. OMG, what a find and amazing meal. Contemporary industrial setting, Lyle's is not in the main area in London but is up and coming area with lots of other hip places nearby. Food is spot on, great service, full on a Saturday night when we got seated at around 9:30pm. Love the rib eye, the mussel broth was amazing, as well as everything else they served. Come check it out. Great Michelin to $ ratio, and at the end of the day, the great food is what it is about.
Be the first to ReplyWe went to Lyle's last night.
The food and service were exceptional. It was one of the best meals we have had at a restaurant. Both the tastes and textures were right on! We would highly recommend.
Be the first to ReplyAfter several failed attempts of timing on our part each
After several failed attempts of timing on our part each time we were in the city, we finally found ourselves an opportunity to check out Lyle's! Easy to reach, minutes walk from the nearby overground stop. After the hype of numerous years, the experience was disappointing. The menu consisted of 4 listed items plus 2 small starters not listed. The restaurant wasn't full but for some reason we weren't greeted by a server for quite some time after seating - I had to stare at someone to get their attention. The onion fritter and pumpkin soup starters were pretty good though the soup was too salty. Overall the dishes that followed weren't bad, but weren't impressive or wowing by any means. They all tasted clean that's about it. I don't like mutton so the substitute was a grilled eel. While flavored well, it wasn't deboned well - bit into several pieces of bone. Lastly, the dessert of ice cream and mousse was just so uninspiring - I can order that at any basic sushi restaurant. Not worth the price.
Be the first to ReplyIt's not every day that you get to eat at one of the top 50
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.
Be the first to ReplyI came for a 945pm reservation on 7/26/19.
The hostess was great, however that was about the only real good quality I can say about the staff. My server for the night was a taller British lady who was also taking care of two other tables for the night. She did favor one table in particular however, leaving my table and the other table consequently unattended and ignored for a majority of the night. My food came out EXTREMELY slow at a pace of maybe one plate per every 10-15 minutes. The night would drag on because the portion size is small as it is already, however the pacing made it even worse. The food itself was mediocre as well, with the exception of only one item = the sautéed carrots and vegetables. The pork belly and loin were extremely tough/chewy to the point where we couldn't even cut the piece of meat with a knife. (The table next to me also left their piece of meat untouched due to it being so tough). The mandatory 20% VAT charge made it so the server can care less about each table because she is still receiving the same amount of pay regardless of how well she took care of a table. I am very disappointed and let down by the fact that this restaurant received a Michelin star and is ranked highly in the top restaurants in the world.

This was an interesting but ultimately somewhat disappointing dining experience. I really enjoy the idea of a single menu option, especially since it seems a lot of thought went into the design of it when I went. It did seem to be a bit too creative, which caused it to fail taste and texture wise in the end.The venue and staff were wonderful throughout the evening!

Been here twice both times for lunch and have tried all the seafood and veg options on offer. It's good but is it really deserving of being on the top 50 restaurants in the world? The bread is unbelievable. The rest, I've had better in a Parisian bistro all day any day. The quality of the ingredients are top notch. It's just that the flavor profile is not varied enough. Maybe if I had some of the small game or duck dishes? But I don't like them so I can't say otherwise. There is no I mind blowing technique in any of the things that I had. Maybe I am spoiled. The more I've tried places on the top 50 list the more I get disappointed. David Toutain in Paris is not on the list but it's much better than this. I would definitely go at least once as the price is very reasonable.
Be the first to ReplyFrom the moment you walk in, the experience is excellent.
The hostess was warm and welcoming and shared some knowledge about the restaurant. The decor is relaxed and the tasting menu is seasonal based, which is loaded with incredible flavors.Overall it was lovely to go to a Michelin star restaurant without the pretentiousness and warm friendly atmosphere with great exceptional food.
