Burger and Lobster - Soho Famous for it's no menu and no reservation the name just says it all. You can choose to have either a lobster (grilled or steamed and complimented with garlic butter sauce) or a burger both served with fries and salad.
For only £20 and a good cut of meat and shellfish this is definitely a bargain and a must try in any of the London branches.
The Lobster was a decent size and the shells broke apart easily making it easy to get the meat out. I had mine grilled and to be honest it wasn't any different to the steamed one. The lobster was juicy and each claw was filled with lots of meat.
The burger was a good cut of beef weighing at a whopping 10oz! My friend was satisfied and described it as the best burger she's ever had. (Sometimes minimal ingredients is best as you get to really enjoy the flavours and quality of the meat)
We waited for 2 hours before we was seated but was definitely worth the wait. Another place on my list was the Hummingbird bakery. Famous for it's red velvet cupcakes I had to buy a few back! The sponge was soft and fluffy and the cream cheese icing was the best I've tasted. Not too sweet nor cheesy it had a good balance.
We also popped into a tapas place in soho some where before going out. A great little place for a few drinks and nibbles. It was really chilled out as it was self service and everything was on skewer sticks. Just take your plate and choose any of the small tapas dishes that takes your fancy and pop the skewer sticks in a jar to calculate the bill at the end. I can't remember the name of the place (sorry)
It had a great combination of fish, meat, grilled veggies, olives and tasty sweet treats.
