J Sheekey
Included In
Every weekend, the West End gets swarmed with tourists hoping for a glimpse of Benedict whatshisface or whatever that guy’s name is. Bonkerdick Cummerbund? Bennetsmith Crumblepants?
Anyway, you’re thankfully unlikely to see many of those tourists at J Sheekey. What you will find is a classic restaurant in the middle of the theatre district—an old-fashioned spot to enjoy a few glasses of wine and eat some high quality shellfish.
For all its elegance, J Sheekey is also unpretentious and relaxed, especially at their bar or outdoor terrace. As you might expect, prices for luxuries like lobster are particularly high and the legendary fish pie is around 20 quid—but that's surprisingly reasonable for a place like this.
As for the crowd, It’s a late-night hangout for theatre and movie folks, which means, actually, tourists probably should come here. Butternut Jazzhands just might turn up.
