🇬🇧 Parsons London: A Hidden Gem for Affordable Seafood 🦪
Stepping into Parsons feels like stumbling upon a hidden Parisian gem right in the heart of London 🎩✨. The moment you walk in, the warm, bistro-style decor—think moody lighting, vintage tiles, and nautical accents—whisks you away to a cozy seafood haven by the Seine. 🦪🍾 The real stars of the show? Their irresistible starters and seafood platters! 🎯 We started with the pea soup with seared scallops and mussels—a creamy, vibrant bowl of goodness with perfectly caramelized scallops that melted in the mouth. The mussels were plump and juicy, though we might have licked the bowl clean wishing for just one more spoonful… 🥣👀 (Portion size, why you so smol? 🥶). Then came the showstopper: the chilled seafood platter! 🏆 An Instagram-worthy spread of glossy oysters, fat prawns, and sweet crab meat—all so fresh they practically whispered "we just left the ocean" 🌊🐚. We shamelessly devoured four of each (no regrets, only happiness). The mignonette sauce and zesty lemon wedges? Chef’s kiss. 💋 The vibe? Bustling, lively, and effortlessly cool—like a Parisian brasserie meets London chic. 🎶 The hum of conversation, clinking glasses, and the occasional burst of laughter make it the perfect spot for a casual catch-up with friends who appreciate good food (and good gossip). 👯♀️ At £40-50pp, it’s not the most filling meal (dessert might be necessary… just saying 🍰), but the quality-to-price ratio is solid. You’re paying for top-tier seafood in a gorgeous setting, and honestly? Worth it. 💸❤️ 📍 Parsons 39 Endell St, London WC2H 9BA 🔥 Pro Tip: Book ahead—this place is tiny and wildly popular! A weekend walk-in? Basically a seafood-themed miracle. 🙏 (Also, try to snag a table by the window for prime people-watching.) 👀 #LondonEats #SeafoodLover #ParsonsLondon #HiddenGems #AffordableLuxury #Oysters #LondonFoodie #CoventGardenEats
