London restaurant review: Aubaine (SW3)

Went to this cute bistro for lunch on Wednesday – it’s so welcoming with its patio doors thrown open to the pavement, big mirrors and distressed wood tables. We were greeted by smiley and efficient waiters bearing a toothsome bread selection (they have their own bakery at the front) and seated on a table that was close enough to the adjoining one to allow eavesdropping (but not so close that you have to choose between bum- or belly-brushing when you leave). On a weekday lunch, there was a good selection of chattering friends, relaxed business lunchers and well-heeled tourists. The menu seems bistro classic and from our experience very nicely executed – I had the roquefort/fig/walnut salad, Mr. R&R the chicken, both delicious with lovely (and not garlicky) dressings, then a wild strawberry tart to finish (good pastry, tasty fruit). We emerged back into Chelsea with jet-lag nicely assuaged and will definitely return.

Great raw small plates and the world's best implementation of palm-leaf ceiling fans at this midtown Miami spot.
