Lobster Roll at Burger & Lobster

There is no better advertisement for a restaurant than word-of-mouth. I kept hearing about Burger & Lobster (B&L) from different people - friends, family and random people on the train home. Being the naturally curious food enthusiast that I am, I met Tiffany (the real foodie and a culinary star at Marcus Wareing!) for lunch. 

Situated in Mayfair, B&L opens its doors at noon and by 12:40, the place is usually packed. No reservations, customers are seated on a first-come, first-served basis (very Meatliquor-esque).

There is no food menu. For £20, you are given the choice of either a burger, lobster or lobster roll. Everything comes with a side of fries and salad. We both chose the lobster roll, which was good - fresh lobster meat, mayonnaise, green onion, herbs and some lemon juice. Was B&L overhyped? Probably. But for £20, it's pretty decent and unique in London. Tiffany and I asked to see the lobsters and the waitress took us downstairs to view the goods. B&L's lobsters are all sourced from Canada.

What I really liked was their vanilla cheesecake. It comes in a paper cup, the kind you get when you go the theatre and order extortionately expensive ice-cream. Holy Shamoley. I loved it. I think it was even better than the one at Belvedere.
