restaurants and a
charming stretch

Awana
(85 SloaneAvenue,
SW3, tel: 020 7584
8880)With its
simple approach to
Malaysian fare and
amenu loaded with
traditional staples, this
mid-range hangout
is a locals’ fave – and
with good reason.
Helpful staff are happy
to lead the uninitiated
throughmyriad
regional dishes,
including the darkly
scrumptious rendang
daging awana, a slow-
cooked, herb-infused
beef curry.Tastebuds
will be left tingling
too by the house-
made chocolate
and lemongrass ice
cream, while a decent
selection of set
menus,make this a
rare budget choice for
the Kensington area.

Aubaine
(31 Dover
Street,W1, tel: 020
7368 0955) Opening
a restaurant in a
recession isn’t often
a goodmove, so it
says a lot for this
up-market French
chain that this new
Mayfair branch is
the fifth since 2008.
Menu staples like
octopus carpaccio
and a heart-stopping
potato dauphinoise
are part of the reason
for the popularity,
but tasteful décor,
friendly service and an
obscenely well-laden
dessert menu should
also ensure that this
newbie flourishes.
