shoreditch restaurant lyle's, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in April this year, has been named London's best restaurant.
A new list from independent restaurant guide SquareMeal ranks Lyle's as: 'perennial high flyer” says the modern British fine dining spot. 'We visited again this year and surprised us. With its pared-down geometric patterns and whitewashed walls, Lyle's is juxtaposed with the interiors of London's more glamorous, maximalist restaurants, and the kitchen serves some of the best food you'll find anywhere in London. I will deliver it.'
Lyle's was opened in 2014 by head chef James Lowe and was awarded a Michelin star the following year.Other restaurants in the top 10 include restaurants with two Michelin stars Da Terra in Bethnal Green, Humble Chicken in Soho, Akoko in Fitzrovia and The Red Belly in Notting Hill.
The first restaurant on the list to have a female head chef is Cynthia Shanmugalingam Borough Market's Rambutan came in 16th place.
SquareMeal Editor-in-Chief Ellie Donnell said of the list: 'Lyles has restaurants that have not only stood the test of time, but continue to push the boundaries of modern British cuisine today. James and his team aim to capture the essence of casual fine dining in a truly timeless restaurant that will never go out of style, with a focus on British produce, exceptional cuisine and friendly service. succeeded.
