Bentley's Oyster Bar & Grill

Bentley's Oyster Bar & Grill is one of London’s best restaurants for outdoor dining. Since 2005, Bentley's Oyster Bar & Grill has been in the expert hands of chef Richard Corrigan. It has been operating successfully since 1916. Despite being a London landmark, it's never overly crowded and you're always treated like royalty because of its off-the-beaten-path position.

It has all the hallmarks of a good dining seafood restaurant inside, yet none of the stuffiness you might anticipate. The best seats in the house are downstairs, on stools pulled up to the marble dining counter, behind which a group of white-jacketed wizards shucks over 1,000 oysters every day. Upstairs, there are crisp white tablecloths and studded leather chairs, but downstairs, you'll find the best seats in the house. Additionally, it's good that there are napkins on tiny racks behind the bar.

Sit down for a seafood feast, which includes shellfish platters piled high with crevettes, cherry clams, mussels, whelks, and oysters, starters like beef tartare with oyster cream, and scallop ceviche, Dover sole prepared three different ways, fish pie, fish and chips, and fish steak. The Apple Charlotte, a dish composed of apples, bread, and Calvados cream, deserves whatever remaining space.
