--- name: "Auguste" subtitle: "Self-funded flame-grilled Abruzzo in a Marylebone theatre dining room" date: 2026-05-13 link: https://www.wallpaper.com/travel/restaurants/auguste-london-review linkText: "wallpaper.com" source: "Wallpaper* Travel" topics: [travel-and-places] tags: [restaurant, london, italian] description: "New London opening from the teams behind Elm and Bambi — flame-grilled flavours from Abruzzo in a theatrical Marylebone dining room." --- Self-funded by the operators (rare in this segment) which gives the room a sharper editorial point of view than a typical investor-backed opening. The food leans into Abruzzo's woodfire and lamb traditions; the room is designed as a kind of intimate theatre with sight-lines to the kitchen flame. Worth the booking effort if you are in London.
