Aster restaurant London opened in the heart of Victoria and is situated in the ultra-modern, glass-encased Victoria’s vibrant new nova quarter. It has subsequently modified its menus to a more current European layout.
Located on two floors overlooking Victoria, this exquisite restaurant was designed by Russell Sage Studio. It blends classic European ambience with a modernistic design to create a fresh take on the traditional European Grand Brasserie.

On our visit, it was hopping with people enjoying a wonderful supper and a drink. We sat at the bar before supper to test their creative ‘Asterology’ cocktail menu.
The Aster restaurant experience provided a wide range of wines and beverages. We picked for an Italian Montepulciano Feudo Antico 2018. After a nice first taste, it went well with the main meal as indicated.
We also had the 2016 Château Grand Gamelle from Bordeaux on the table. It was the perfect wine to combine with our salmon main dish, with a mild Bordeaux flavour.
Dinner was delicious. We had a great view of the open restaurant and bar from our raised dining seat.

The Menu – Aster Restaurant London
We very much enjoyed the Charcuterie board on this menu, with a fine selection of cured meats. A little surprise ingredient sprung into the experience. A small side of grape mustard made this sharing dish truly memorable.
The remainder of the dish included Bayonne ham, duck rillette, red grape mustard, céleri rémoulade, and toasted bread which made for the perfect appetiser.

We absolutely loved the salmon. It was perfectly cooked, flaky, soft, and garnished in a delicious sauce.
We also enjoyed the Fillet de boeuf au poivre, prepared with green beans, and sauce au poivre. We ordered it medium-rare which was incredibly succulent, and melted in your mouth like butter.
There are a lot of rich meals on its menu. The restaurant’s beef bourguignon is also delicious and is served with carrots, mushrooms, and creamy potatoes. As well as salty bits of bacon for good measure.

Maybe you’re craving Icelandic cod. Aster also provides delicious Icelandic cod. Served with a silky potato purée and a beurre blanc fennel salad.
This dish goes well with any of the restaurants’ wines. The Gavi La Fornace, Italy, with melon and citrus flavors, will serve well.
