AVI Bistrot – Américain is opening this spring
Taking up residence inside The Lowndes Hotel London in Belgravia, AVI Bistrot – Américain is promising “modern French spirit, elevated American classics”. That means familiar classics and comfort dishes, served with a bit of flair, and given the restaurant is inside a five-star hotel, we imagine in an elegant room too.
Head Chef Joshua Conte’s all-day menu is set to include dishes like:
- NYC fried chicken & caviar
- AVI Caesar salad
- black brioche lobster roll
- Le Big Mac avec Truffle
- red claw lobster linguine with caviar
- spicy tomato tequila paccheri
- tuna schnitzel with celeriac remoulade
- fillet steak with smoked bone marrow
Interestingly, there are a few Middle Eastern and Asian influences on the menu then there are French; tartares come with lavosh crackers, there’s a seabass tom yum dish, and a ‘From the East’ section that includes a chicken dum biryani and a 24-karat gold leaf-adorned lahmacun, because you can’t be in Belgravia without any bling.
AVI Bistrot – Américain is joining London’s collection of transatlantic-inspired restaurants, and it’ll be interesting to see if they copy American-style service too.
