The stylish Avenue Brasserie in St James’ gives another meaning to the diner experience.  With its retro American feel, scattered with diner type benches surrounding the long angular bar; once through the main expansive open dining space; warmth and glamour is given by the grand cascading, circular chandelier.

Serving a cut above standard Brasserie fare, the dishes are executed well, deserving of its’ 2 AA Rosette status. It sits well as a quality top range brasserie, where you can guarantee to be slightly surprised by the menu. Everything from steak tartare and chateaubriand, to whole seabass off the bone.  The bar tends to be quite buzzy in the evenings, and is a great starting place too.
