All 12 Lobster Dishes

Lobster Al Pastor Gringa

Fonda

Mayfair·$$$

£34.00

Lobster and Spenwood cheese griddled in a quesadilla wrapper.

Tip: At £34 this is one of the pricier dishes — the lobster requires careful carving to appreciate the delicate meat, so take your time.

Whole Lobster Giouvetsi

Myrtos by Asimakis

South Kensington·$$$

£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.

#398% recommend

Tandoori Lobster

Hélène Darroze at The Connaught

Mayfair·$$$$

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.

#495% recommend

Deep-Fried Lobster with Ginger and Chilli

Hutong

London Bridge·$$$$

£65.00

Fresh whole lobster pieces flash-fried with aromatic ginger and fresh chillies.

Tip: It's a proper showstopper. The ginger provides a great refreshing hit that balances the rich lobster meat.

#592% recommend

Grilled Half-Lobster

Dover Street Counter

Mayfair·$$$

£38.00

Fresh native lobster grilled over charcoal with garlic butter.

Lobster Bisque Börek

OMA

Borough Market·$$$

Whole Lobster Caldereta

Mountain

Soho·$$$

£35.00

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

Lobster Tacos

KOL

Marylebone·$$$

£17.00

Lobster tacos topped with smoked chilli and accompanied by tortillas.

Tip: The quality of the lobster is excellent. You can taste that it's pristinely fresh.

Lobster Medallion with Perigord Truffle

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester

Mayfair·$$$$

£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.

Scottish Blue Shell Lobster with Choron Sauce & Yuzu

The Clove Club

Shoreditch·$$$$

£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.

#1189% recommend

Native Lobster with Cheshire Saffron

The Ledbury

Notting Hill·$$$$

£32.00

Lobster cooked simply with saffron from Cheshire, morels, lemon verbena and kimchi.

Tip: The kimchi might seem unusual with lobster, but it works — the fermented flavors balance the sweetness of the meat.

#1288% recommend

Crispy Lobster Dumplings

Phoenix Palace

Marylebone·$$

£7.50

Deep-fried dumplings filled with lobster meat in a crunchy golden shell.

Tip: These sell out on the trolley rounds quickly during Sunday service. If you see the trolley with fried items approaching, flag it down immediately. You can also order from the menu directly if you miss the trolley.
