Lyle's Restaurant - Menu

incredible location with an incredible experience with the best decor, ambiente and atmosphere. the personal is very professional and friendly, the service is fast and punctual and hygiene is always on standards.

the makrele @lyleslondon was perfection, perfectly cooked and the strong taste of this species of fish was nicely balanced with fresh and acid when the berries. with a Michael star, to the earth design and a menu that changes its place in the worth of a visit every day, they are in london.

brilliant culinary experience. we ordered 8 dishes between three of us. the hangers would have been the grilled razor claws, and the hain and dammson toast. the staff was very interested in the dressing and I loved that the sourdough bread was free flowing for the table. great place for a long lunch.

I was feeling particularly jet lagged as I arrived at the Shoreditch train station, so I was particularly happy to find that Lyle’s was only a few meters away. More so when I realised that it was right in the heart of one of London’s coolest and up-and-coming districts. The cool shops and stalls right by the restaurant gave me something to look at while I waited for my reservation time and my first bite to eat in many hours.

If Lyle’s were to be in Australia, it would not feel out of place. The dining room is hip and trendy and the plates of food pretty and minimalistic. But this is not just any casual dining place – Lyle’s is ranked number 65 in the World’s 50 Best Guide and was also awarded a coveted Michelin star in the 2016 guide. Chef/ owner James Lowe has worked at La Trompette where he has picked up solid classical French training before stints at Fat Duck and more recently the head chef role at St John’s Bread Wine. It is probably his time at St John’s which most influences his style of cooking – minimalistic simplicity, based on less...read more

Lyle's is another gastronomic gem in London's East End. Right opposite Shoreditch's Boxpark, the one-michelin star restaurant is known for serving the finest seasonal British cuisine. The £44 lunch menu includes 5 courses and shows off the chefs' abilities to adapt traditional well-sourced British ingredients to a contemporary framework. The dishes showed a great deal of honesty, restraint and freshness the Mallard and Coffee Meringue dishes were particularly exemplary in these qualities. Even more, the restaurant's bare interior showcases a Scandinavian and New York design influence, which vibes well with the restraint of the dishes.

I love the style of cooking here. Big gutsy flavors with plenty of contrast on every plate. If your palate prefers delicate and subtle over brash and bold, you might find Lyle's too much of an assault on the senses The three of us decided to try Lyle's at lunchtime, when there is an a la carte menu available. Dinners feature a no choice tasting menu. A large white industrial space with surprisingly good hushed acoustics despite concrete floor and tiled walls. I think they must have effective noise absorbing panels under the ceiling. Waiting staff were very knowledgeable about the food and could answer all of our questions without having to check in the kitchen As we were...read more

Lyle’s is hardly the first restaurant to embrace minimalism, but it’s still nonetheless striking how much it pervades nearly everything that this Shoreditch restaurant presents to the customer. Whitewashed walls, blank-faced tiles and bare concrete floors are just the start. Not a word is wasted on the menu – if you want florid dish descriptions and category/section headings, then you’re out of luck Unfortunately, this stripped-back approach also extends to the service. While almost always very efficient, it’s also usually lacking in charm and warmth. In a way it’s almost admirable that a workplace has managed to instil such a widespread and consistent sense of perfunctory...read more

I had first heard about Lyle’s in August, 2014. I was told it was absolutely amazing, and I needed to try it. I kept trying to go, but life always seemed to get in the way. Finally, about one year later, my partner had some work near Old Street, and he asked me if I wanted to grab dinner. I said yes, and I immediately booked us into Lyle’s. We went and had some of the best tasting (and most interesting) dishes that we’ve had in a long time. We had amazing service with a knowledgeable staff with great wine suggestions. We talked to the chef about how it reminded us of an amazing restaurant in Copenhagen (but probably not the one you’re thinking of), and he said he modeled the...read more
