LIMA Shoreditch - (Near City of London, london)

the_freedom_traveler Helena A really unique location for wine lovers AND food lovers! They have a wide selection of wine and their expert sommelier will help you make the best choice. Then they have a menu with plenty of options to cater all diets and perfect to share. A hidden gem in the middle of the centre.

R We tried almost everything on the menu. The food was mostly delicious with a good mix of Spanish and Japanese flavours. The standouts were the crystal prawn tempura, Suffolk pork chop, Rubia Gallega steak, and the miso yuzu cheesecake. I do think a few of the dishes were a bit lacking in flavour and quality however. Service was great - the staff were attentive and friendly, and the restaurant space itself is elegant and well-decorated

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.

Daisy Lang Love visiting this place for healthy lunch when Im in the office. Queues are often long, but do move fairly quick and they offer click and collect if you want to order ahead. I love the field trays, which are very customisable and a lot of delicious food. It gets quite noisy inside but there is outdoor seating. (This post was made in connection with a Toast promotion)

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.

Atefeh - Ati O Coya City London offers a vibrant atmosphere, stylish setting, and attentive service. Most dishes were good and beautifully presented, but the octopus was average compared to the rest. Overall, a lively spot worth visiting for quality Peruvian cuisine.
