About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Innovative

Right at the heart of the vibrant Old Spitalfields Market, Wright Brothers Spitalfields is smart in some ways, casual in others and lively always.

Characterised by the stunning marble oyster bar which invites counter-style dining while chefs shuck and prepare the freshest oysters in front of you. The seafood at Wright Brothers comes sourced via their own wholesale business in Billigsgate market. Feast on huge seafood platters, packed with fresh shellfish alongside a seasonal selection of delicious small plates and flavourful mains like the tempura fried soft shell crab with sriracha mayonnaise, winter slaw & fries.

The bar serves a comprehensive range of seafood friendly wines and cocktails, which can also be enjoyed outside on the 'Market Terrace’— a heated terrace which allows for year-round alfresco dining.

Enjoy £1 oysters from 3-6pm daily.

Highly recommended venue to dine. Exceptional service from attentive knowledgeable staff who accommodated dietary requirements (coeliac disease) without any unnecessary fussing. Fresh delicious seafood cooked to order with accompanying drinks to match. Enjoy!

You can’t really go wrong with this place. When we went they had Carlingford Oysters for £1. What more could you want....other than a friendly, knowledgeable team and some Albariño. Heaven

Not sure ifI would recommend. It was quiet- a Friday afternoon5:15 ish we asked to sit somewhere side by side but they wouldn’t let us. Tables all empty till we left.Could just have said yes but if it gets busy then you will have to go opposite to each other. Sat in corner round table- table just a little too low. Window drafty. Slow to ask for drinks. Fish of the day - good but small and expensive- 3 small monk fish fillets and some cauliflower purée- £24 - needed some other veg and ? Potatoes or the roasted Jerusalem artichokes ( cheapest veg out) they do. Very salty. Oysters for £1 each before 6pm was great.

Food was delicious and service great but a bit pricey even for London. £5 for a portion of chips is a rip off!
