Aster review: Working Lunch at Victoria's new restaurant ...
food
A sharp, modern restaurant in the heart of the new Nova district opposite Victoria station that offers all the finesse of a French brasserie and all the naughtiness of a Nordic bakery.
Stay for a hearty business lunch, nip back in the afternoon for a cinnamon bun.
There’s also a soon-to-be champagne bar, and the restaurant – packed out with plush banquettes – resides upstairs with floor-to-ceiling views of, well, Victoria’s many construction sites and a Pret a Manger.
Thankfully, Aster hasn’t gone full fusion on us; it’s a Scandi dish here with a Franco fling there or vice versa.
Aster is a crowd-pleaser, a versatile restaurant that still has some surprises up its sleeve, serving up fusion food that doesn’t forget to be fun.
More cinnamon buns: a review of Nordic Bakery's Marylebone cafe ...
busyness food drinks
By contrast with Fabrique, and its maiden cafe hidden away in Hoxton, Nordic Bakery was always in plain sight: the only thing I ever cared to look at in Soho’s Golden Square, with curious, eager eyes, like a cat waiting to be fed.
The first time I went to Nordic Bakery (the Marylebone branch, which I hit on a Friday morning off work), a lady had just snatched a whole basket of them, leaving the cafe out of stock.
I love Nordic Bakery’s buns just as much as as Fabrique’s, or Scandinavian Kitchen’s, although for different reasons.
Nordic’s cappuccino reminded me of City Bakery in New York, where I was served a huge mug with so much milk, the coffee had long lost all hope to be saved from drowning.
They’d laugh at my homemade cinnamon buns, and argue the first meal of the day should be savoury; I wouldn’t trust them to make me an espresso worthy of mum’s moka, or my hometown’s neighbourhood cafes.

food menu value busyness
A tiny but very smart Baltic-tinged newcomer, in Marylebone; the cooking is pretty straightforward, but the set lunch menu, in particular, offers excellent value.
There's something not entirely English about this cute little Marylebone newcomer.
The menu here, however, is certainly not Gallic - you could perhaps characterise it as straightforward modern European, spiced up with a few Baltic dishes.
Indeed, any French impression could be positively misleading.
It certainly deserves to be a lot fuller than it was when we visited - at lunchtime, when the tariff for two courses, including that large chunk of cod, is just £9.95.

Nordic calm for scary people – Aquavit London reviewed | The ...
ambience food staff
Aquavit is a ‘uniquely Nordic–style’ restaurant in the St James’s Market development between Regent Street and the Haymarket.
Here sits Aquavit, expressing the vogue for Scandinavia in haute cuisine form; why do I feel, increasingly, that as we lose a real world we build a new and tinny one?
So Aquavit, which joins the Nordic Bakery and the Scandinavian Kitchen in London’s shining Little Scandinavia.
It is a vast space with wooden walls and huge windows to the street; strange blue rugs the colour of the Caribbean Sea; a double-height ceiling for an echo; a long bar with spindly blue stools; orange banquettes; weird golden candelabras, or robotic octopi; grey; swirling marble floors.
This careful fine dining is soothing, because Aquavit is wide-spaced and peopled with smiling, softly spoken, beautifully dressed waiters, but it feels to me like false serenity and, I suspect, as close to real Scandinavia as Rules is to real Edwardian London.

food
Until Nordic Bakery came along, that is, and made Helvetica synonymous with cinnamon buns.
An open sandwich of quality smoked salmon on black rye bread was simple Scandi perfection; as was the Karelian pie, a savoury, lightly salted concoction that tastes like a mash-up between a potato cake and a Müller Rice.
The beautifully dark, cocoa-filled ‘mud cake’.
Another thing that could upset your zen a bit is the price point: £4.90 for half an open sandwich?
Except, maybe, for that sandwich.
