Lyle's London Reviews
Disappointed
Starters and wine were good, but we were disappointed by the mains. One was nothing special and the other was not at all to our taste and quite unpleasant. We didn’t finish either. Definitely not what we were expecting in terms of quality. Looks
Creme de la creme de Shoreditch
I’ve often passed Lyle’s on a walk from Shoreditch High Street and visited Pizza East another part of the vast warehouse known as the Tea Building in which both are situated. I was in search of a quick lunch before a performance of Handel’s Cho
Mostly OK except for flawed service
Overall a decent meal but 2 things that could be improved upon: (1) we arrived 20 mins early for our booking, half the restaurant was empty but receptionist said she couldn’t seat us bc ppl “might” arrive soon (fair) and when asked if we could
(Still) one of the nation's (and the world's) top restaurants
I've been to Lyle's a few times over the years but this was the first time I went for dinner, so I thought I'd offer an updated review. Lyle's has retained it's standing of one of the world's top restaurants for several
Wonderful experience
My partner and I decided to go to Lyles for Valentine night and absolutely loved it. We had not been before and had heard the food was good, but it was never really on our 'must try' list. We were wrong as it should have been 'the one
We wanted to love it…but we didn’t
My husband and I visited Lyle’s for an early Valentine’s dinner. On arrival, we were warmly greeted and taken to our table. A la carte and tasting menu options were explained and we decided to go with tasting menu and matched wines. What we did
The service was really spot on.
Nicest people working there. Extremely attentive staff. The cocktails were terrific. We had a group of 6 and we made sure to order a variety of food. The fish didn't smell or taste fresh and it was overcooked. The tomato fritters were good. Over
This restaurant was great! My brother and I were visiting
This restaurant was great! My brother and I were visiting the city and heard so many great things, so naturally we had to try it. The food was great, the service was great, and the restaurant was gorgeous.
A Wonderful Experience
I don't often review restaurants in the UK, but I felt I had to review Lyle's. We booked this as we were led to believe it was a top restaurant, and we wanted to celebrate our son's birthday. We then heard the food was okay, tasteless,
Lyle's is an unprecedented culinary experience.
From the first bite to the last, the food is spectacular. Throughout the set menu one strongly tastes the chefs pallet and although all the dishes are very different, they work together in perfect harmony. Truly a great restaurant.
Anniversary lunch
We came here for our anniversary lunch (sadly can no longer do dinner since we're new parents). The array of dishes on the menu was great and made me try some things I normally would not order - like the whole mackerel. Vibe was very shoreditch. At

I've been to Lyle's twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. Both experiences were excellent. The food was delicious, and the waiting staff was very helpful and seemed genuinely happy, which is uncommon in many restaurants.
One the finest meals in one of the least pretentious
One the finest meals in one of the least pretentious settings I've ever experienced. Every course was a miracle of preparation and presentation. And our server was warm and attentive without being even slightly overbearing. The desserts were transcen

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 extreme
High class cooking
Only ever eaten here at lunch, always excellent. Our first evening experience which is a set tasting menu. Nice room with good ambiance. Very New York dining style. Food was very very good. Nice balanced menu. Each course a nice size so when you fini
Definitely worth it
Eaten here a few times in the last year or two. Genuinely excellent cooking, ingredients and service. You’ll get a superb meal here that is full of detail and it’s a great dining room. Good value for what it delivers as well in my opinion.
Great food in casual, laidback space - great evening overall!
We had such a great evening here last week on a 1 night layover in London. A friend had recommended this spot as having great food but in a casual laid-back atmosphere and that is exactly what we found. The food delivered across every course and was
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 on
Dont go
Big mistake. Taster menu took two hours and left us hungry. Steak was tough and we left it uneaten. Nothing memorable
Modern excellence
Lovely room Service great nice menu Food exceptional 6 plates for 3 people plus pudding each Possibly my best meal in 2023
World Class
One Michelin Star but should be more. A set menu that was thoughtful and stunning. Very inventive flavours through out and the first time that I have tried goose. Set in a historic building I thought our experience was first class in every aspect.
Their oysters are to die for.
They add watermelon juice on top of the oysters and omg! Wow!!!
Bit better than OK
It was good and I am edging close to 4/5. However I just felt for Michelin star restaurant it missed something. The first course was Oyster with pear. I love Oyster......there was one. I know its fine dining but that was like a tease, it felt mean,

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.
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 b
Don't go here.
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
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 recomme
Almost perfect!
A nearly perfect night out at Lyle’s. Food, service and atmosphere were all absolutely superb, especially going out of their way to wish one of our party a happy birthday with some beautiful little cakes. The only thing that let it down was being

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
Good but not mind blowing

Very good, just not worth the prices.
We very much enjoyed our dinner at Lyle's. The food was excellent and the service friendly. Ambiance was just ok - not really a stylish setting, just a bunch of tables in a white room with a view of the kitchen. Over $400 USD for two with the win
A Destination Restaurant!
A wonderfully unique experience. World class food and service delivered in a casual environment. Highly recommended
Absolutely amazing
Quality produce and wine throughout the entire set menu. It was a true delight. Very warm welcome as well, great hospitality. A must do when "siting London, located in the vibrant Shoreditch
Sharing plates but too small
Located In the tea building, short walk from Shoreditch over ground. Minimal and modern interior with open plan kitchen. Sharing plates which was great except that portions are too small for any more than two it because unpractical to share as port
Disappointing food
We visited Lyle’s for dinner and there is one set menu that seems to change everyday. Perhaps we were unlucky with our menu but we were very underwhelmed by the food. The best part was the bread and butter! The rest of the dishes included smoked ee
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
Connect with users posting reservations for Lyle's London
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Lyle's London. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Lyle's London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Lyle's London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Lyle's London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Lyle's London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
