The Seafood Bar is a family owned seafood restaurant on Dean Street in Soho. Founder Fons de Visscher spent twenty seven years working as a fishmonger before opening the first restaurant in the Netherlands in 2012. The London location continues that specialist focus through a broad selection of fish and shellfish.
Oysters, lobster, crab, mussels, prawns and other shellfish feature prominently across the menu. Cold fruits de mer platters allow diners to share several varieties at once, while larger combinations bring together lobster, oysters, smoked fish and crustaceans. The range is designed for both individual meals and generous shared feasts.
Hot cooking from the plancha provides another side of the menu through whole lobster, mixed seafood grills and individual fish dishes. Fish and chips, seafood linguine, mussels and smaller starters offer more familiar alternatives to the larger platters. Daily seafood specials allow the kitchen to respond to the available catch.
Wine suggestions accompany many dishes, reflecting the restaurant’s aim of pairing seafood with suitable bottles and glasses. The lively Soho setting works for lunches, pre theatre meals, celebrations and relaxed dinners. Respect for seafood sourcing and the family’s fishmonger heritage remain central to the restaurant’s identity.
Address: 77 Dean Street, Soho, London W1D 3SH, United Kingdom
