Chef-patron Robin Gill is to open a new all-day cafe and aperitivo spot called Bar Brasso next door to his flagship restaurant Darby’s, near the new US Embassy in Nine Elms.
The space has been operated until recently as Darby’s Next Door, and will offer pastries and coffee in the morning, bigger dishes at lunchtime and a selection of smaller tapas-style plates in the evening, to be consumed alongside drinks including £5 Negronis and txakoli on tap.
Specials include a ‘Bourdain’ grilled toastie based on the late Anthony Bourdain’s favourite sandwich, with Franceschini Mortadella ‘Opera’ and fontina cheese.
