"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. But that’s what makes it so good. The evening tasting menu reads simply—razor clams and tomatoes, fore rib and onions—but every ingredient at Lyle’s is turned up to the max. With nothing else to focus on in the industrial space, the food is the centre of attention. That said, lunch is our favourite time to eat here, when sunlight streams through the warehouse windows and you can order from an a la carte menu." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager
