Harden's says
In the space formerly occupied by Bar Boulud and its B+NYC-style burgers comes an “eccentric Japanese izakaya experience” named after the decadent fin de siècle artist Aubrey Beardsley; the original Aubrey opened in February 2021 in the Mandarin Oriental’s Hong Kong flagship.
Harden's survey result
Summary
Billing itself somewhat misleadingly as an ‘eccentric Japanese izakaya experience’ (which would suggest it’s down-to-earth… which it isn’t), this luxurious space decked with Japanese prints is this Knightsbridge hotel’s new incumbent for the basement space that was previously Bar Boulud (RIP). It is rated on limited feedback to date, but all of it enthusiastic. Top Tip – bargain set lunch menu featuring katsu sandos, plus cocktails.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
