Best burger and lobster restaurant London
The "Burger & Lobster Oxford Circus" is a popular restaurant in the heart of London, distinguished by its focus on two main ingredients—top-quality burgers and fresh lobster. It is part of the successful Burger & Lobster chain, which was launched in 2011 by four school friends on a rooftop in London, with the vision of serving simple yet perfected dishes. The chain has since expanded significantly, and the location at Oxford Circus, tucked away in a quiet side street away from the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street, is one of nine branches in London. The restaurant attracts a diverse clientele—from tourists taking a break after a shopping day on Oxford Street to business people from the surrounding offices, as well as families and groups who appreciate the casual yet stylish ambiance.

The "Original Lobster Roll" is particularly popular, featuring a toasted brioche bun filled with chilled lobster meat, a light lemon mayonnaise, and a hint of chives, served with crispy French fries— a dish that combines lightness with intense flavor. Equally celebrated is the "Beast Burger," a creative combination of a juicy beef patty, lobster meat, melted Brie, and a truffle tarragon mayonnaise that elevates the experience to a new level. For lobster lovers, the "Whole Lobster," available steamed or grilled with lemon garlic butter, offers a pure, unadulterated taste experience. Desserts, such as the "Burnt White Chocolate Cheesecake" with winter berry compote, round off the offering, providing a sweet conclusion. The menu is complemented by a selection of cocktails mixed with premium spirits that perfectly accompany the meals.

A central highlight is the lobster tank, which gives guests a direct view of the freshness of the ingredients. Its location near the busy Oxford Street makes it a welcome retreat, and its proximity to attractions like Cavendish Square Gardens adds a pleasant urban touch to the visit. On busy days, especially during peak times, the space fills up quickly, creating a lively, almost festive atmosphere that some may find a bit loud. Nevertheless, the vibe remains casual, making it ideal for both a quick lunch and an extended dinner.
