Burger and Lobster is quite a popular food haunt among the foodies, both locally and internationally. I think they have two branches. One is located in the chic London Soho area, while the other is not far away in London's Chinatown. Only later, did I realize they have a lot more branches than I thought. They even extended their business beyond UK to many other countries, including Malaysia. But too bad, they are not coming to Singapore, yet.
We went to the Soho branch. The exterior is simple and rustic. The name of the restaurant was not prominent and we almost missed it completely, if we didn't have its exact address.
The interior has traces of Soho's industry and working class past. Raw brick walls with bright lights.
On a weekday, the restaurant was almost full during lunch, early lunch. Patrons seem to come from all walks of life. There was a group of Asian tourists taking up a big table, two Chinese students sitting at the next table. Overseas tourists and local students account for quite a large percentage. That probably is not surprising. Our local food blogger, ladyironchef, also recommended this restaurant as one of London's good restaurants as far as 2013.
I ordered their lunch set. For ₤23.00, you get a 1-pound whole lobster, served together with chips and salad. You can choose how you would like the lobster to be cooked. Steamed? Grilled? Make your choice.
Being a Cantonese, obviously I chose it to be steamed. What other cooking method can ensure you always get a fresh lobster? In this case, Burger & Lobster didn't disappoint. Without other strong ingredients cluttering the original taste, you got to enjoy the sweetness of the lobster meat, you can even smell the sea... Hahaha...I am exaggerating here, of course. On serious note, the food was good!
The staff there were efficient and friendly. They attended to our order and served us promptly and politely.
If you are in London, give it a try. You can get more information from their website: Burger and Lobster.
