I love flowers, they make me so happy and there’s nothing better than being surrounded by beautiful flowers in a café while you’re having brunch! I came across the wisteria flowers on Instagram and fell in love with how beautiful they looked. I’m not even a fan of the colour purple, but these flowers are just stunning. So when I found the Aubaine restaurant with a wisteria-interior, I had to give it a visit. My boyfriend and I decided to go there for brunch to celebrate Valentine’s Day, and it did not disappoint!
Location:
It’s hidden away inside the Selfridges department store on Oxford Street on Level 2 in the Shoes department. It was easy to find as there are signs inside the store pointing you in the right direction.
Brunch:
I ordered the eggs benedict with salmon, which was really good apart from the toast was a quite hard to bite into. My boyfriend ordered the lobster benedict, which tasted pretty good too and had a hash brown-textured potato on the side. We then ordered a chocolate croissant to share, which was very sweet but tasty! We could not resist a croissant at a French restaurant.
Interior:
We were lucky to be sat at the back near the window next to all the wisteria – definitely had the best spot! The natural lighting was great and the mirrors on the walls gave off the illusion that it was more spacious (because it actually was a small space). We were not the only ones taking advantage of this beautiful place, there were many others trying to get the right photo spot haha!
Staff:
The staff were really friendly and helpful, making the whole experience so pleasant and welcoming!
Overall, it was worth visiting as not only was the place stunning and a perfect place for a romantic brunch, but the food was lovely too! If you’re a lover of wisteria, I’d definitely recommend visiting this restaurant. Also, make sure to book a table to ensure you get a good seat surrounded by the wisteria!
