Hix Oyster and Chop House

Mark Hix is a brilliant and likeable British chef, who has championed British produce across all his restaurants (The Ivy, Scott's, The Rivington). Hix Oyster and Chop House was his first solo venture - now which are numerable - and remains a staple on the London dining scene. Situated near the historic Smithfield Market, which still supplies most London restaurants to this day, the building was originally a sausage factory and then a fish restaurant. The refurbishment has kept the marble oyster bar, the tiled walls and linen tablecloths to create an elegant yet unfussy British dining room. This is British comfort food executed to its best - roast chicken, ox cheek, oysters, rabbit terrine etc. - with carefully sourced ingredients throughout.
