Best for cocktails: Lobster
At this Hackney lobster bar you can have a classic lobster roll, a whole lobster, a bowl of lobster tortelloni or even lobster Benedict (from £12), but the menu does feature other dishes beyond crustacea.
The paired cocktails are crackers, too — try a Sea Julep (Pisco, Cinzano Bianco and lime juice, £8.50).
Info: Unit 2, 205 Richmond Road, E8 (020 8986 9630; lobsterbar.co.uk)
Best for classics: Piquet
Chef Allan Pickett is on a mission to meld British ingredients with classic — mostly French — cooking techniques and the results are delicious. The menu changes all the time, but expect dishes such as pithivier of Littlebourne snails, cured coppa ham from Kent, or half a native lobster in garlicky broth (starters from £7, mains from £15).
Info: 92 Newman Street, W1 (020 3826 4500; piquet-restaurant.co.uk)
Best for seafood feasts: Wright Brothers South
The latest opening from seafood specialists the Wright Brothers is a smaller, more romantic spot than their Soho or Spitalfields restaurants. Start your meal with oysters before moving on to a bowl of fish soup, or a starter of moules marinière, then half a lobster drenched in butter (£21).
Info: 56 Old Brompton Road, SW7 (020 7581 0131; thewrightbrothers.co.uk)
