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.
Brunch on Saturday: Aster review and smoked bacon and cheese ...
ambience food
And that was even with some tables enjoying Aster’s bottomless bubbly brunch.
For our first course (as we all know any decent brunch involves multiple courses), we both opted for the Egg Aster: avocado and poached egg on sweet rye bread, topped with hollandaise and super seeds – an enjoyable Nordic twist on a brunch classic.
At two courses for £21 or three for £26, Aster’s brunch offers affordable elegance.
A woman stronger than I. 2 large Maris pipers potatoes, grated 1 medium onion, finely chopped 30g plain flour 1 egg 100g Comte cheese, grated 50g of crispy pancetta handful of chives, finely chopped salt and pepper 200ml oil, for frying Squeeze water out of grated potatoes.
Serve immediately with fried duck egg and garnish with crispy pancetta and baby watercress.
D&D London launches Aster at Nova Food, Victoria
food location
Nova Food, the brand spanking new foodie destination in Victoria, has seen a sprinkling of exciting openings this year, including Aussie diner Timmy Green and the swanky Greenwood venue.
The new restaurant is set across two floors, with a café and deli on the ground floor and an upstairs restaurant and bar.
On entering, a spectacular staircase leads to the restaurant and cocktail bar upstairs, where the brass and marble detailing continues from the downstairs café and deli, which references its neighbour, Victoria Station, with luggage-inspired detailing and a re-imagined railway clock.
In the café and deli, traditional Nordic delicacies such as fish roe, pickled herring and wild berries sit alongside comforting cinnamon buns and Smörgåsbords of shredded duck, cornichons, fig chutney and sourdough.
Upstairs in the restaurant, more refined dishes such Arctic char and hot smoked Greenland prawns with aubergine caviar, as well as Pyrenean lamb shoulder with braised January King cabbage, hold court.

A Nordic/French joint at the Nova development in Victoria.
Aster is a stylish Nordic/French mash-up joint in Victoria from the D&D group (Bluebird Café, Launceston Place, Orrery and so on).
It’s set across a bright ’n’ airy corner site on the outer reaches of the steely Nova development, with a cute little bakery out front, a cavernous café/ bar and a well-designed upstairs restaurant, replete with snazzy light fittings on pulleys, a neat dusky colour scheme and views onto Victoria Street.
Take the starter of squid with smoked reindeer, ink and herbs – an earthy, delicate and savoury dish screaming out for a sharp element to lift it from ‘good’ to ‘GOOD GOD!’
Aster’s missteps could be easily remedied, but as it is, it’s another attractive almost-hit for Nova (and Victoria in general).
