When the owners of Roka and Zuma decide to open a Cork Street restaurant, you know you’re on to a good thing. Aurelia Restaurant is Mayfair’s newest chic brasserie, and at first sight it certainly doesn’t fail to impress.
We visited for breakfast, and a stroll along the galleries of Cork Street was the ideal introduction to a restaurant where design and aesthetics are incredibly important. A pretty bar with art deco features lines the room on one side, with antique mirrors reflecting this grandeur throughout the restaurant.
It was quiet on our visit, but we could still speak freely and relax in the very comfortable surroundings. The breakfast menu was solid with fresh pastries, duck eggs, and traditional Spanish bounty all featured.
We went for a mixture of items, including some wonderful sweet roasted tomatoes, and smoked and meaty bacon which was some of the nicest I’ve tried in London.
Pastries were light and delicate, and not too sweet a start to the day. Service was prompt, and the kind of deliciously ‘Mayfair’ attentiveness which makes guests feel totally indulged.
Aurelia London is a perfect stop for a meeting, or a generous start to the day on one’s own, and a very welcome addition to Cork Street.
