ABERDEEN STREET SOCIAL

Aberdeen Street Social is probably the most upscale of Yenn Wong and Jason Atherton’s collaborations in the city, with its refined menu of contemporary British cuisine. The two-floor space in PMQ features a breezy alfresco patio, casual downstairs bar and more formal but still comfortable upstairs dining room. The menu features classic British dishes given a sparkling update with top-notch ingredients and full-bodied flavours; highlights include a lobster cocktail packed with generous pieces of tender meat, a punchy cocktail sauce and an umami-laden lobster jelly, and a blackcurrant Eton mess featuring a gorgeously tart sorbet, fresh blueberries, creamy mascarpone, crunchy shards of meringue and a final dash of miso. The wine list is comprehensive, covering old and new world varieties over a spread of price points. Service is friendly and attentive, with our waiter demonstrating a clear knowledge of both the wine and food menu. Whilst the menu’s playfulness probably resonates more with those who grew up with British cuisine, all diners should find plenty to enjoy in its undoubted technical excellence, impeccably judged flavours and inspired culinary flair.

The futuristic décor is a defining feature at Felix
