The Seafood Bar is located in the heart of Soho, London. We are a modern seafood restaurant that offers a wide range of the freshest seafood. It's our dream to provide our guests incredible seafood, and we're living that dream.
The owner, Fons de Visscher was a respected fishmonger for 27 years in Helmond; a small city in the Netherlands, when he decided to start a new adventure. Driven by his passion for fish and great wines Fons created The Seafood Bar. The first restaurant opened its doors in 2012 in the Netherlands and now in 2021 we have opened our doors in London.
From our fresh day boat Fish, Lobster's, Crab's, Oyster's to our larger than life seafood platters, all our food is sourced sustainably. We have immense respect for our environment, and do everything we can to sustain it.

    Sadly I can’t remember the young lady who served us. Brought me a candle in my desert which was a nice touch .Took my sister and partner who is a Rick stein fanatic who really enjoyed the whole experience. There is more to life than a Rick stein restaurant! No offence Rick. Very enjoyable meal

    We had a brilliant experience at the Seafood Bar in Amsterdam and so were very excited to discover that we had one in London too. What a disappointment. The service was great and the atmosphere was lovely… but the food was average at best and it wasn’t great value for money. The lobster Mac and cheese was delicious but the seafood mixed grill did not thrill at all. For a place that calls itself a Seafood Bar, it needs to be better than average and it just wasn’t. Sadly can’t recommend.

    Review: Disappointing Experience I recently visited this oyster bar and unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. As an oyster bar, I expected a variety of fresh oysters, but they only had one type available and ran out quickly. To make matters worse, they were also out of red wine. The food itself was just okay – nothing memorable or worth returning for. The service also left much to be desired. At the end of the meal, the waitress asked me to leave an additional tip, which felt quite uncomfortable. Overall, this was one of the worst oyster bar experiences I’ve ever had. I won’t be returning, and I can’t recommend it to others.

    Seafood was served stacked on a plate and difficult to eat. Squid was tough and rubbery.

    The food was really good, but service was oddly haphazard. We had to ask for everything - for drinks, to order, to pay, etc. We weren't offered dessert or coffee, which was odd. We were sitting right at the front of the restaurant by the door, so it wasn't like we were forgotten as clearly visible, and it wasn't busy. And there was a lot of staff - strange experience as had read really good reviews about the service here.

    Nice place. We sat outside in the sun, had 12 oysters, 2 glasses of sparkly and a beer for £45 including tip. Not bad for central London. Served by the lovely Lily from Oz (think that was her name.) Would definitely come back again for the happy hour.

    Outstanding birthday dinner, the quality of the food is amazing. Outstanding service. Reserved table was a choose your own table, not prepped or ready to sit on. The notification for a special occasion was not taken care of. The music is very loud. But all in all a wonderful evening with outstanding food, that is what counts at the end !
