Myrtos by Asimakis

South Kensington·$$$

Whole Lobster Giouvetsi

£45.00

Fresh lobster cooked with traditional orzo pasta and aromatic Greek herbs.

Tip: The orzo is the secret highlight here — it has a depth of flavor that only comes from a very concentrated shellfish stock.

#2Score 98/100

Hélène Darroze at The Connaught

Mayfair·$$$$

Tandoori Lobster

Blue lobster with carrot, citrus, and a delicate tandoori spice blend.

Tip: This is almost always available as an option — if you see 'Lobster' on the ingredient list, it's the one to pick.

#3Score 92/100

Dover Street Counter

Mayfair·$$$

Grilled Half-Lobster

£38.00

Fresh native lobster grilled over charcoal with garlic butter.

Tip: Check the daily specials board — they sometimes have a whole lobster option if you're particularly hungry.

#4Score 91/100

Mountain

Soho·$$$

Whole Lobster Caldereta

£35.00

Whole lobster braised and served in ceramic pot for up to five people.

Tip: This is designed for sharing (3-5 people). The longer braise makes the lobster more tender than you'd expect. Come hungry and with friends.

#5Score 90/100

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester

Mayfair·$$$$

Lobster Medallion with Perigord Truffle

£250.00

Native lobster with chicken quenelle, Perigord truffle, and handmade semolina pasta.

Tip: This dish carries a £35 supplement on the a la carte. If you're already spending at this level, the supplement is worth it — the truffle is generous and the lobster perfectly cooked.

#6Score 90/100

The Clove Club

Shoreditch·$$$$

Scottish Blue Shell Lobster with Choron Sauce & Yuzu

£23.00

Tender lobster with Béarnaise-style choron sauce and yuzu gel.

Tip: The yuzu gel is the brilliant touch here — it cuts through the butter and prevents the dish from becoming heavy.
