LIMA Shoreditch - (Near City of London, london)

Tom I had dinner here with a colleague on a Monday night. It was relatively quiet but then the city always is on a Monday. The decor is very nice and there is lots of space so would be interesting to see the vibe of the place when it’s full. The small plates are essentially starters and we shared the pork bites and burnt ends between two and it was probably enough. The menu is interesting! For the mains my colleague had the ribeye and I had the fillet steak. We had a side of mash with gravy and also the loaded style chips. The steaks were delicious. Really tender and cooked to perfection. The meat was great. Really up there. Big shout out to the gravy mash combo too. That was immense. The service was efficient and felt a bit upsell a few times but again that’s the city for you. We stuck with what we wanted and it was seriously good. Would definitely go back. It’s not cheap but it’s worth it.

lior berman Delicious complex make sure you go around and see everything! Its nice to get there in the morning when they open and all the pasties are fresh... Around lunchtime the savory area more buzzy with fresh pasta and pizza and salad and afternoon peoples coming for after work drinks and dinner Upstairs you got planty of amazing ingredients that suit home cooking and gifts!

Robert Wong Great authentic Portuguese dishes served in the city. Was a bit pricier than expected, but a treat especially if you havent tried their unique flavours and twists. Recommend to book in advance otherwise expect to be seated at the counter or outside!

Chris Hinde Stopped by chance for breakfast and we’re not disappointed! Cosy, little intimate cafe set within the lobby of the Ned. Food was fantastic quality - we’d recommend the Malibu omelette. Some interesting alternative lattes on offer too, the beetroot cacao latte was inspired.

Alex A Lovely service and amazing food. Steak is always brilliant but the sides are wonderful too especially the spinach! The sundae dessert also blew me away, I thought it would be way too sweet but it was lovely (shared between two otherwise might’ve been too much)

Olga Artjomova Wild Izakaya is one of those rare places where you start by ordering “a few things” and somehow end up trying half the menu, cause everything is that good. The aubergine was smoky, silky and perfectly glazed - the kind of dish you keep thinking about the next day. The sushi? Incredibly fresh, balanced, clean flavours, no overload, just precision. Every plate we tried had depth, texture and real attention to detail. Nothing felt random or rushed. You can tell the kitchen actually cares. This isn’t just “nice Japanese food” - it’s thoughtful, confident and seriously delicious. London doesn’t need another restaurant. But it definitely needed this one.
