“ Had a great meal at Randall and Aubin on a dull and cold January Friday afternoon, we had a booking at a later time, but the staff were kind enough to fit us in 30 minutes early. The staff were very well informed and helpful with the menu and describing the food. The space here is what I would describe as cozy, you are on some of the locations right next to the next couple just out of elbow range, which for us was no issue as both couples either side of us were friendly. Along the outer wall the width of the table is smaller, but you are not so check by jowl. We had some lovely food; I went for the half a Dorset crab which was well prepared and cooked and very tasty. The service was quick without being too quick. You are not hurried through. The desserts were great with my wife having the sticky toffee pudding and I have the apple piie ”
“ One of the best restaurants we tried in London! Food was absolutely delicious, we tried 4 different dishes and all of them blew us away. Service was amazing, our waiter made great recommendations and made us feel right at home. Atmosphere and vibe far exceeded our expectations. Would recommend all seafood lovers to try this place out! Will definitely be returning if I am ever in London again! ”
“ Saturday was packed, but we were lucky to get a table after a 40-minute wait. The bouillabaisse was absolutely lovely—one of the best I’ve had! The oysters were fresh and juicy, and the service was quick and friendly. Well worth the wait! ”
“ One word to describe this restaurant is CONSISTENCY! The food is unpretentious, the freshest seafood in town, chef pays attention to details with interesting accompaniment on every plate! Superb!

“ A double whammy weekend : My wife & I have been visiting R&A since 1996 & when we moved to Scotland, visits to Randall & Aubin were reserved for long weekend trips to London. On our latest trip we were in & out like Ninjas arriving Friday afternoon & heading back up the road. What better way to get your "fix" of deliciousness than a Friday Dinner & a Saturday late Lunch ! You'll be immediately met by Sussu who has been front of house at Randall & Aubin for 25 years, professional, personable & friendly. The space is compact, the music is loud & the food is fantastic! Fish lovers should seek this place out to experience this very special restaurant at least once in your life The only flaw is that they need a decent array of malt whisky to compliment the end of the meal, Sussu already knows & I intend remedy that when I visit next in July ! ”
“ Amazing meal. Argentinian prawn special were the best prawns my mum and I have ever had. Recommend 100% ”
“ Absolutely the best Seafood I've had in 30 years! And I ran a seafood bar in London for 20 yrs! Travelled the world eating my passion this place is another level forget Smiths, Wright brothers, Fish, etc etc this is the Daddy! Tamas was attentive and on point running the resturant like a well oiled clock! ”
“ Haven't been to such a lovely place in a while. The cuisine was exquisite, delicious combinations of tastes and textures, well thought of and beautifully served. Great wine selection, very attentive and pleasant service, and a lovely internal design of the establishment. Prices are on the higher side. However, super worth it, in my opinion. Very recommended!! ”
