The 6 Best Fish Restaurants in London

November 19th, 2010 No comments

In the mood for fish? Try one of these fabulous London restaurants.

1. Bentley’s Oyster Bar & Grill:

Since it’s opening in 1916, Bentley’s has served everyone from the flappers of the 1920s, to the rock and roll stars of the 1960s, to today’s chic Londoners. The restaurant has maintained its old charm by remaining in the same building, with the same Italian gothic architectural style. There is no minimum spend, so go, enjoy, and take a bite out of London’s history.

2. Chamberlain’s:

Chamberlain’s is located in Leadenhall covered market, once a meat and poultry market that was the heart of Roman London. Their seafood is of the highest quality and sourced from Chamberlain and Thelwell. The restaurant is over three floors and has an balcony terrace with a stunning view. Go and savour their incredible shellfish and some of the country’s best catches.

3. J Sheeky’s Restaurant and Oyster Bar:

J Sheeky’s is located on the quiet St. Martin’s Court between Charing Cross Road and St. Martin’s Lane. With a multitude of famous London play and opera houses surrounding it, J Sheeky’s is the perfect place to dine before or after an evening at the theatre. Moreover, it is surrounded by the buzz and excitement of Covent Garden and Soho.

4. Pescatori Italian and Seafood Restaurants:

Located in Fitzrovia and Mayfair, these family-run restaurants offer the best of both culinary worlds- world class seafood, and delicious Italian goodness. Their menu is seasonal, so even regulars can enjoy a wide selection of dishes. Crabs are sent directly from a family farm in Cornwall, while the other fish is bought fresh every morning from Billingsgate Fish Market. Yum.

5. Wright Brothers:

The Wright Brothers have a few restaurants in England, including one in Soho, London, another in Borough Market, London, and one in Cornwall. Their oysters come from an ancient private fishery, located on the Helford River in South West Cornwall. Clearly, the Wright Brothers are serious about their oysters.

6. Scott’s:

Located in Mayfair, Scott’s offers some of the city’s most delicious oysters, fish and crustaceans. Included in their a la carte menu are also some delicious meat and game dishes, so no matter what your culinary taste their will be something for you to enjoy. The tables look onto a beautiful oyster and champagne bar.

The English love their fish, so it’s no surprise that the country’s capital would have some of the most delicious seafood restaurants one could find.

Healthy Restaurant Choices: Eating Nutritious Meals While Dining Out

July 25th, 2009 1 comment

Healthy restaurant dining has become an explosively popular trend over the past few years. As health care costs continue to spiral out of control, a growing number of people are looking for ways to trim a few pounds and shed their excess weight. The Fast Food Nation is aggressively searching for an alternative to the grease-laden and calorie-filled entrees to which they’ve grown accustomed. As a result, there are more opportunities than ever for eating smart at a healthy restaurant.

Below, you’ll discover how to find a healthy restaurant in your city that matches your style and culinary tastes, including gourmet foods and fine dining restaurants. We’ll explain how to make the most of your experience dining there as well as the virtues of enjoying healthy takeout foods.

How to Find a Healthy Restaurant
Dining out is a challenge if you’d like to stay fit and healthy. Restaurant dishes that seem wholesome on the surface sometimes hide hundreds of calories. For example, wraps were once considered light and nourishing, but often contain over 1,000 calories and more than their share of fat grams. It’s far more effective to dine at a healthy restaurant that specializes in dishes that are good for your heart and figure. The challenge is finding them.
If you have friends or family members who are actively pursuing a healthful lifestyle, ask them for recommendations. Chances are, they’ll have a small list of favorite places they can share with you. Otherwise, look for reviews online. There are websites that review healthy restaurants that are located throughout the country. These sites will not only direct you to restaurants with free wireless and healthy takeout in your city, but they’ll also provide a personal review of the foods offered there.

The Virtues of Healthy Takeout
A lot of people would prefer to avoid dining in and instead, take their meals home with them. Unfortunately, many of them cut corners and opt for fast food, rationalizing that the sacrifice to their health is temporary. You can enjoy a better alternative. There are a growing number of restaurants that offer delicious healthy takeout for their customers. They realize that a dining experience isn’t always desired, but also understand that their customers still crave wholesome meals. To fulfill that need, they go to great lengths to provide healthy takeout that is both tasty and nutritious.

Choosing a Healthy Restaurant Begins At Home
There is likely at least one healthy restaurant in your area. Whether you’re looking for a fine dining experience or healthy takeout choices to enjoy at home, look in your town. If you live in a larger city, search online for high-quality reviews that provide insight about the experience you can expect to enjoy. Reading personal reviews is one of the best ways to find a local healthy restaurant that suits your preferences. They can detail certain meals, their nutritional value, and even which dishes to avoid. What’s more, you can search for these reviews from the comfort of your home.

Tips for Eating At a Healthy Restaurant
It’s important to be aware of the factors that add unnecessarily to the calorie and fat count of your meals, even when dining at a healthy restaurant. Don’t be afraid to special-order dishes without mayonnaise or heavy salad dressings. Consider drinking water rather than sodas and other sugared beverages. Limit the salt content and watch your portions; even a “light” meal can contain 500 calories. You’ll find some healthy restaurants that will even offer deep-friend or battered foods, often to attract new diners who are wary of the unknown. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or looking for an alternative to the fast food lifestyle, search for healthy restaurant reviews online.
