Tucked beneath the Victorian cellar arches of The Ampersand Hotel, Apero is an all day neighbourhood brasserie and bar that brings a shot of Mediterranean style to the heart of South Kensington. Apero’s menus are inspired by the Mediterranean’s best ingredients and the region’s most enduring flavours are popular with both locals and hotel guests, who gather here from breakfast to late evening.

The buzzy bar, tended by staff with a real passion for what they serve, is an understated but elegant place to get into the ‘aperitivo’ spirit with a signature cocktail or glass of wine before dinner. With leather snugs, Spanish tiled floors and exposed bricks, this intimate London restaurant and bar is where South Kensington chic meets Mediterranean zest.
