Ametsa’s approach is rooted in the traditions of ‘New Basque Cuisine’, pairing the earthy flavours and techniques of Spain’s Basque region

with locally-sourced and organic produce from land and sea.

Lunch and dinner menus change to reflect the seasons as they pass, but the spirit of Ametsa’s cuisine remains constant: a food philosophy that matches the rustic flavours of Spain’s Basque region with modern, surprising twists.

The restaurant’s interior was designed by London-based Ab Rogers Design, who took inspiration from the raw aesthetic of the original Arzak restaurant in San Sebastian, Spain, which holds three Michelin stars.

The focal point of Ametsa is a wave-like ceiling, created from 7,000 glass receptacles filled with spices. Other highlights include an oak floor laid at a 30-degree angle and lacquered walls that create a calm, light-filled interior.

Aster’s kitchen is overseen by Executive Chef, Helena Puolakka, and serves the Nordic cuisine of her Finnish heritage complemented by classic French dishes

and techniques refined over her career. Hailing from Turku, a city on the southwest coast of Finland, Helena grew up foraging, fishing and living off the land. Upon graduating she worked with Pierre Koffmann at La Tante Claire and with Pierre Gagnaire at his eponymous restaurant in Paris. Her classical French training and her Nordic upbringing shaped Helena’s style of cooking, which focuses on uncomplicated, homemade flavours, executed with style and finesse. From Scandinavia’s landscape of endless forests to the tranquil vistas of southern France, the menus at Aster are built upon exciting combinations.

Creating a strong sense of place, Aster’s location

next to Victoria Station is referenced with luggage-inspired detailing on the café’s bar front, which is crowned by a re-imagined railway clock enabling guests travelling from Victoria to keep an eye on the time. A spectacular staircase leads to the 122-cover restaurant and cocktail bar above, with shades of purple and gold featuring plush fabrics such as velvet and leather balanced with a continuation of the brass and marble detailing from downstairs.

Kai Mayfair was born in London back in 1993 and, like the capital, it proudly preserves its traditions while evolving and renewing.

They hold a great fondness of our Nanyang traditions with flavours recalled from our childhood memories of home cooking and treats at restaurants.

However, their exposure to the incredible culinary diversity that exists in London has encouraged them to reshape their ideas.

They take inspiration from the city which welcomes the freedom to express individuality and personality, even to the point of eccentricity.

They take a ‘liberated’ approach to Chinese cooking. So, while they have some of the comfort recipes familiar to Chinese restaurant visitors, their true personality can be found in the dishes that are unique to Kai.

Executive Chef Alex Chow has led the kitchen at Kai Mayfair for 13 years. Born in Malaysia, he has been cooking in restaurants since he was a teenager.

Chow’s passion for produce not traditionally associated with Asian cuisine and his desire to innovate has earned him a reputation as one of London’s most exciting culinary talents and in 2009 the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star.

Head Pastry Chef Szymon Grzanka’s love for South East Asian ingredients and culinary history have made desserts an essential part of Kai Mayfair’s dining experience – a course often perceived as an afterthought at Chinese restaurants. £65

Following the tradition of the Michelin two-star Taillevent in Paris, Les 110 de Taillevent in London offers both classic and modern French dishes along with a choice of perfectly paired

wines by the glass.Born in Provence in the iconic village of St Paul

de Vence, not far from Nice, Head Chef Raphael Grima made his first steps in the kitchen inspired by the colors, the light, and the flavours of this Mediterranean region. Feeling the need to pursue his apprentissage with the great classics of the French tradition, he joined Emile Cotte at two-Michelin starred Le Taillevent and its Parisian sister restaurant les 110 de Taillevent Paris in 2012.

It was a natural move for Raphael to move to London and launch Les 110 de Taillevent at Cavendish Square in 2015. Heading up his own kitchen, Raph brings experience of classic French

dishes along with his modern interpretation and knowledge of pairing dishes - to bring out the best of the paired wines.

The 110 wines by the glass, along with a wine list of over 1100 bins can be enjoyed in the modern-styled restaurant or on the al fresco Terrace for lunch or dinner on Monday to Friday or for dinner on Saturday.

The brainchild of Andrew Dargue and Donna Conroy, Vanilla Black first opened in York in 2004. The couple relocated the restaurant to London in 2008 to further

pursue their mission. Using modern techniques and interesting flavour

combinations, Vanilla Black continues to challenge misconceptions of vegetarian cuisine (vegan option is available). The results have been rewarded with a recommendation in the Michelin Guide.

Andrew Dargue has worked as a chef since he was 16 years of age. He became vegetarian almost 17 years ago and in 2000 started a small manufacturing company supplying vegetarian dishes to hotels and restaurants.

Having researched many vegetarian restaurants across the UK, Andrew and his partner Donna Conroy found that many were simply cafés with a focus on healthy, wholesome food. Spotting an opportunity for an innovative, exciting vegetarian venue, the couple left their hometown of Teesside in 2004 and opened their first restaurant, Vanilla Black, in York. Their ambition was to elevate meat-free cuisine to the standard of the very best mainstream restaurants.
