"There are two superlative-laden white-walled British restaurants around Shoreditch. One is St. John Bread And Wine—which is a little fancy but utterly unfussy—and the other is Lyle’s, which is both fancy and fussy when it comes to food. The menu reads simply—razor clams and tomatoes, fore rib and onions—but every ingredient at Lyle’s is turned up to the max and dishes are the centre of attention in the industrial space. That said, lunch is our favourite time to eat here, when sunlight streams through the warehouse windows." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager
