This cute Soho bistro has spent more than 20 years holding its own against the razzmatazz of newer, glitzier, and often shorter-lived restaurant openings in the west end - it’s got a solid local fanbase, and is always in demand come Valentine’s Day. Aurora’s dimly lit interiors have a timeless quality thanks to plentiful oil paintings and dripping candles, and the regularly changing Modern European menu is similarly trend-eschewing, offering dishes such as melon and prosciutto with a refreshing lack of irony, alongside other crowd-pleasing classics such as steak with béarnaise butter or daily pasta specials. In sunny weather, a pretty, secluded garden awaits.
