27 Restaurant & Bar

Occupying a plush Mayfair townhouse, Crown London Aspinalls combines a private members’ club and this swanky bar and restaurant. Polished wooden flooring, stuccoed mantelpieces and comfortable leather dining chairs create a serene, classy vibe, emphasised by delicate chandeliers and sleek black display cabinets full of pricey-looking objets. The expansive menu caters for the hyper-wealthy international set who frequent such establishments in such postcodes, encompassing separate lists of crowd-pleasing Middle Eastern, Chinese, Indian, Japanese and modern European dishes. As the head chef hails from Japan, sushi is a good place to start, perhaps scallop, wasabi and cucumber maki rolls. Then you might stay in Asia for a Chinese dish of stir-fried noodles with Wagyu beef, or head to the Middle East for Lebanese mixed grill. Chicken biryani or asparagus risotto should satisfy any diners still deliberating. All members and their guests must be 18+.
