Loch Fyne, Covent Garden, London

Great place for seafood! Good value for money! Try their oysters, they are also offered to take away.

Best Fish restaurant chain in Britain, a must for all seafood lovers!!

Lovely seafood restaurant. Fresh, tasty meals. Good wine selection & friendly staff.

Loch Fyne, as a chain, scores well with the eco-watchdogs at fish2fork.com because of its commitment to sustainable sourcing of fish and shellfish. If you love fresh, well-prepared fish, oysters, mussels and so on, this restaurant chain is a must-try. Friendly service. Lovely selection of wine. It's always busy, thanks to its location in Covent Garden's theatreland. Set menus at two courses for £12. Max price, £42 for hot-and-cold seafood platter for two.

My one quibble, after a recent visit: what happened to the seafood platter for one? Please, please reinstate it! Some fish-lovers are cursed to hang out with carnivores....

A good place for lunch with friends who like fish, there are meat options as well. Great offer of two courses for £10 at the moment, very good value. The main menu is wide ranging and well-priced for this part of London. Even if they think that moules marinieres has cream in it, the mussels as a main course were good, small, plump and fresh for £10. Friends had fish and chips, the fish was very good and the chips OK. Excellent apple crumble! Decent Prosecco at £19 a bottle, tap water brought without drama and top-ups offered. Good welcome and decent friendly service. Rather a lot of backgound noise, like a lot of chain restaurants. (I often eat out with a friend with impaired hearing and am becoming aware of this now). Ground floor access toilet. Good hang out in Covent Garden.

Wanting fish and needing to eat somewhere near our theatre led us to Loch Fyne where we had a delightful dinner.

The fish was fresh and the scallops were delish. We also shared a plate of oysters, which were salty and plump.

My 8-y/o niece was with us, and the children's menu had some nice selections. She loved the peas so much she had a second, huge helping!

Over all, we found it to be a nice, kid-friendly atmosphere with excellent service.

The seafood platter is amazing. I was quite impressed with the presentation. This is my first visit to Loch Fyne in Covent Garden. Nice atmosphere, service reasonably. I love seafood so it was perfect place. Next would like to try their special offer of a starter and main and a glass of wine for £11 with voucher!

My favourite branch of Loch Fyne (so far!) is in Oxford but I'm closer to the Covent Garden version and tend to go a couple of times a year for a treat.

The concept is simple: provide carefully sourced and well prepared food, have it served by good staff, and provide a pleasant environment. At Loch Fyne these things all come together.

The menu has a seafood emphasis but other options are available. It changes seasonally - check the website for the latest version. Everything I've tried from traditional fish and chips, to salmon rosti, to scallops has been delicious.

The prices are in keeping with the quality. My only quibble is that simple sides like chips or mash are extra where at other places you might get a choice in an all inclusive price. But that's really a minor quibble as the quality really is very good.

The wine list has something for every budget and taste - the website has all the details and the full list.

Also check the website for special offers - the restaurants sometimes offer special menus if eating before 7 - great for lunch or pre-theatre.
