1. The Aubrey
In the wood-panelled spaces of The Aubrey, ukiyo-e woodblock prints mingle with Victorian pencil portraits and Belle Époque furniture, all burnished with the muted glow of Tiffany stained glass lamps—a tableau that could easily have been plucked from a salon in 1880s Paris. The restaurant itself opens up like a treasure box, slowly unveiling itself in titillating fashion. Guests enter via a foyer and through a Japanese noren curtain, arriving in the main bar area replete with a four-seat omakase cocktail counter, where mixologist Devender Sehgal and his team curate a journey of the spirits against the backdrop of The Aubrey's sizeable Japanese whisky collection. Around the corner, the atmosphere transitions into that resembling a garden, as lush greenery, mirrored walls and hand-painted frescoes vie for space with cabinets chock full of curious. At the far side of this space is an oyster and sparkling sake bar, and behind it, a private dining room that holds a framed portrait of the restaurant's namesake: 19th-century English writer and illustrator Aubrey Beardsley, who in his short life became one of the earliest proponents of Japonisme.
