Back to Basics

Back to Basics is a pretty fair way of describing this delightful Seafooder near to Oxford Circus, as their presentation, both of the place and their products, is pretty straightforward.

It is a 40 cover seafood restaurant - though expanded enormously when they are using their outside seating - with a 12 item daily changing seafood menu. They have been open for over ten years and have been in the Good Food Guide for the last 8 years, Time Out's Eating Guide for 10 years and have also received good write ups by the Sunday Times, Evening Standard, Observer and Daily Telegraph.

Everything is fresh, though they have a regular menu, there are many additional tempting Specials chalked up on the blackboard inside, it is all prepared in house and nothing frozen is used. They even accommodate their meat eating friends, with a selection ranging from aged Scotch 1/2kg, T-Bone steak with fresh horseradish and mustard to baby chicken, honey, cracked coriander and peppercorns with something for vegetarians as well such as medley of vegetables on a bed on couscous, parmesan.
