Aura Kitchen and Bar

Aura gives an air of glamour and excitement to whatever you had planned for the evening. Those in the know will tell you that Aura can be found down the wooden stairs underneath the Caviar House in St. James's. Silent classic movies flicker over the bar, casting washes of light and colour over the sleek, modernist interior with hydraulically adjustable tables (for dining or drinking). An open policy on music for the DJs comes together into a restaurant and club that is second to none for fabulous evenings out and brings to mind images of a laid back New York lounge bar and restaurant. The Pan-Asian menu places an emphasis on "slates" from the sea, sky and land. Do not miss the oyster shooters, be it with chilli and orange or fiery wasabi and lime. Mains include gems like crispy soft-shelled crab with lemongrass jelly and spicy teriyaki sauce, and desserts include a coconut and pineapple "cigars" with dipping sauce. The drinks menu is under the supervision of inspired experts.
