Nestled within the elegant Hilton London Hyde Park, Aubaine offers a quintessentially French dining experience with a contemporary twist. This restaurant combines a charming semi-industrial and cottage aesthetic with a prime location just steps from Hyde Park, making it an ideal spot for both leisurely brunches and sophisticated dinners. The ambiance is bright and spacious, with large windows providing stunning views of the park, creating a perfect backdrop for a memorable meal.

This restaurant is attached to the Hilton London Hyde Park hotel. The afternoon was lovely so decided to sit out on the terrace. The service was good and friendly even though they were busy. 

I ordered a white peach Bellini and the beef carpaccio. Firstly, the Bellini cost £17 and was a tiny glass. It did not taste peachy at all so kinda disappointing. The carpaccio was okay. It was on the thicker side and while a good portion it had a pesto based sauce and puffed cracked wheat or rice. It was also pricey. 

I am grateful for the discount I got since I am a guest of the hotel so for that they're getting 3 stars. 

We had breakfast there today too and it was okay. Their coffee is from a machine and does not taste good. I think the food is better and less expensive at the local cafés. 

I haven't tried other dishes but likely won't go back. 

Hope your experience is better than mine!

An absolute gem in the Hilton Hyde Park. I had the sea bream for lunch, and everything was perfectly prepared and delicious. The restaurant has windows with views of Hyde Park across the street. 

The hotel and restaurant staff are so nice and helpful as well.

Had a reservation so was able to sit down right away.

After sitting, no one came over to give us a menu. No one came to give us water. Had to wait 15+ minutes for each of those items.

We got a brunch menu but we wanted the other menu. Took another 15+ minutes to get that, and had to ask 2 different people. Mind you, the place was not packed at all. 

Contrary to the "all-day menu" we found online, the "all-day" menu is in fact, not served all day, and only after 12pm.

After spending over 45 minutes to get started, we ordered 1 dish off the brunch menu and asked to get the lobster spaghetti "at 12pm" when the other menu opened. 

Food took ridiculously long to come but they said they were making the lobster spaghetti early for us (food came around 12:03pm) so our 2 dishes could come together. Ok that's nice I guess.

Lobster spaghetti was good it had a good amount of lobster. We also got the English breakfast and I especially enjoyed the beans, they very sweet.

Bathroom is in the hotel next door.

I would not come back and I would not recommend this place due to the poor service.

We saw this place the night before after dinner and decided to try it for brunch. We got seated right away, which was nice, but it took more than 15 minutes for someone to take our order, and honestly, only four tables had customers inside. Eventually, our server came to take our orders. No introduction, no have you been here nothing. READY TO ORDER, and she's looking at the tablet, not at us wasn't very helpful we asked questions she was very vague with her answer eventually we got the food disappointment and honestly we are a few bites. Not worth the wait or the pounds, she brought us a basket of bread that we got charged 7 pounds even though we said no bread. She didn't check back after bringing our food didn't see her again at our table. It could have been her off day, so she wasn't focused but lousy service. Is what I think but I could be wrong

The food was bad and I mean bad. The place was kind of empty so expected the service to be good. It wasn't, it started off solid and then everyone just disappeared. 
I ordered the lobster roll which turned out to be lettuce and sauce with sprinkles of lobster here and there.

We had a family luncheon here today with a group of 11 people. Staff were very accommodating and food/drinks were excellent!

This is a great coffee shop restaurant with a good menu and a really friendly staff. If you happen to be near Queensway then you should drop in. I really enjoyed it. 
Cheers

...garbage. Attitude. Asked about the egg yolk caramel and rude server said "nobody orders that" and walks away without completing the order. Shit place, 90% empty for a reason. Stay away.

The French host/waiter was absolutely terrible & by far the rudest restaurant worker I have ever encountered. I had forgotten to cancel my reservation for that morning & he greets me by saying I am an hour and 20 minutes late - insanely rude off the bat. To which I respond by explaining that I must have forgotten to cancel the reservation and I am very sorry but I do have one for the time that I arrived. He then rolled his eyes at me and was continuously rude to me throughout the experience.

I made a mistake, apologized & the way he responded was so unprofessional and honestly, very strange. The food is aggressively average & it took 15 minutes to be served. You can find this same quality of food served by decent people at pretty much any brunch spot in London.

THE MOOD: A very convenient location and less than a few steps away from Queensway station [Central Line] and within walking distance from two bus stops [Buses 70,94,148, N207]. The hotel itself needs some work to update its simple decor but the restaurant itself is up to current standards being large and bright with a semi-industrial and cottage feel.  Within easy reach of the park should you eat a little too much and need a nice walk after. Tables are spaced out well so you don't feel crammed in. 

THE FOOD: Tried the new Vegan menu and my first time trying a vegan meal. On what you hear I thought ok I am not too hungry so might as well try this menu just in case the meal will be bland and tasteless as per my personal views, which I must add not based on any fact.

For the starter I went with the Cauliflower, which came with a light and smooth creamy mash. Now the mash potatoe base did not disappoint but the cauliflower was as I thought turned out to be both bland and tasteless.  So now I was a little more worried about the forthcoming main course. 

My main course selection was the portobello and black bean burger with dip and fries. The fries had no seasoning but they were still delicious. You also get a homemade dip with a tomato base and aniseed overtone but really complimented the dish well and a good dip can really add to a dish to lift it. The Black Bean burger was both crispy and tasty, albeit a little dry but having the fresh lettuce really worked well and not having a bun also means you can finish the dish and I cannot see the need for a bun on this dish as it would only take away from the taste of the burger itself. I was glad I ordered this item as my faith in Vegan meals was re-established and I will be trying more in the future. 

THE VERDICT: A great location and with good service and nice and bright decor this is a pleasant place to have a great lunch. Reasonably priced having a number of different dishes means there will be something for everyone, young and old. Vegan to Carnivore's
