Veg, fish and fire are the raison d’être of this trendy, urban eatery at the end of Rue Dansaert. The menu rolls out a cornucopia of creative combinations and amusing textures that frequently astound. Examples include quickly grilled Breton lobster flanked by a tangy raspberry sauce and a chawanmushi straight out of the steam oven. Organic tipples set the scene on the expertly presented wine list. Aster is well and truly in the zeitgeist thanks to wholehearted, big-boned flavours and savvy nuances.
