Burger and Lobster - London

The menu is simple - there are only 3 items, namely  burger, lobster and lobster roll. Sorry, these are not even listed on the menu itself, but rather on the board hanged on the wall. This is exactly what I like - straight to the specialty items, instead of making the customers ploughing through the long list of items on the menu.

Lobsters are what people are here for. Weighing about 1kg each, these lobsters are flown in from Nova Scotia, one of the Canada's three maritime provinces. The lobsters are generally dark bluish green to greenish brown, but will turn bright red when cooked. You can choose either grilled or steamed or roll with mayonnaise. I personally prefer the steamed version which retains much of the original sweetness of the lobster. Interestingly, the burger option comes with beef, instead of lobster meat.

Priced at £ 20 per set, it also comes with garlic lemon butter dipping which further enhance the taste, a salad with balsamic dressing and some nice fries (though a bit salty). It is really value for money, given the good quality and size of lobster. I am sure that it is difficult to find a competing alternative.

No wonder this Russian-owned chain (which also owns Goodman Steak restaurants) is opening more outlets in London - total of 6 branches at the point of writing. This place is definitely among my top recommended list. My advise is that either you make reservation or you turn up early, to avoid the long queue.
