Aubaine Wimbledon

This popular High Street restaurant is the Wimbledon Village branch of the successful French mini-chain. It's one of nine now in London - there are other venues in places like Kensington, Mayfair and Hampstead.

This one benefits from a secluded terrace and some pretty French styling. The menu, as with all the other branches, concentrates on Mediterranean dishes - think moules mariniere, burrata with cherry tomatoes, avocado oil and crostini, and a paillard of chicken with pistachio, pesto, kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes and rocket. 

Breakfasts and brunches prove popular too. Dishes include croque monsieur, eggs benedict, salmon tartare and a petit dejeuner Francais - a French fry-up of sorts, combining Toulouse sausage, Alsace bacon, fried duck egg and mushrooms.
