Lyon's Seafood & Wine Bar

Cute restaurant with a lively atmosphere. I had high expectations on the food, as the place gets very busy during the weekends. The food is really well plated and the dishes we tried had all a creative twist in flavour. I recommend ordering many small plates rather than the large plate. 2 small plates that are exceptional : the salmon pastrami and the burrata. Finally, the restaurant had a wide variety of good wines, that compliments the menu. It’s worth trying if you’re in crouch end.

We tried this out because the food on their Instagram looks great and it's not so far away from my location. At lunchtime, the restaurant was almost empty - so there was no warm kitchen smell. Just chilled seafood. And because it was so empty, there wasn't much atmosphere. The staff were really friendly. The food came out and it was nice. I'd definitely eat it again although I don't think I'd go back. It's maybe on the more expensive side. And if I did return i'd try at a different time of day for a bit more atmosphere. I'm just going to mention this because as we were sitting there people were coming in and asking if there were vegan options. The staff were being really kind trying to offer options but I would not recommend this place for vegetarians or vegans. Lot of seafood choices and some meat.
