Bonhams Restaurant in London (review by ElizabethOnFood)

Second course was potato gnocchi, successfully paired with some aromatic and mildy fruity girolle mushrooms, parsley puree, and a delicious well-made and distinctive creamy Vin Jaune sauce.

Bonhams restaurant ("Bonhams") on New Bond street opened its doors in February 2015 and at the helm of the kitchen is young chef Tom Kemble, who previously worked at Hedone in London and Fäviken in Sweden.Bonhams is open for breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday and on Thursday evenings there's a so-called "Supper Club".

With our aperitifs we were served two lovely bites: a buckwheat cup with a delicious filling of crab, Granny Smith and pistachio, and a puffed squid ink cracker topped with smoked cod roe mayonnaise, sprinkled with nori.The first course was an excellent piece of line-caught flamed mackerel, served here with a pickled radish and mackerel tartare "raviolo", a slice of creamy avocado sprinkled with paprika, and a wedge of little gem with a light dressing.

A simple but lovely dish.Second course was potato gnocchi, successfully paired with some aromatic and mildy fruity girolle mushrooms, parsley puree, and a delicious well-made and distinctive creamy Vin Jaune sauce.

A superb dish with harmonious and luxurious flavours, balanced out nicely by the parsley puree.The meal continued with beautifully cooked squab pigeon (breast and leg), served with a pea puree, fresh peas, lingonberries, fresh almonds and an offal sauce.

REVIEW: Bonhams Restaurant, New Bond Street, Mayfair - The ...

Bonhams Restaurant will be turning one year old shortly and in such a short space of time the restaurant and its head chef, Tom Kemble have done the impossible and been awarded One Michelin star.

We dined here at Bonhams Restaurant on a Thursday evening when they host a supperclub dinner of five courses priced at £50pp.

A solid offering here at Bonhams Restaurant was the slow cooked Burford brown egg with charred sweetcorn and roast chicken juices.

The charred sweetcorn was simply heavenly and the chicken juices muddle amongst piles of soft mushrooms meant for a plate of food which has converted me into a slow cooked egg lover – the crunchy golden crisp crumb may have helped a little too.

In fact our meal at Bonhams Restaurant was mostly very nice – but something about the whole experience was a little lacking.

Bonhams Restaurant: Going once, twice, SOLD on Tom Kemble's ...

Tucked away inside one of London’s oldest auction houses, a stone’s throw from the bustle of nearby Oxford Street, this 24-cover restaurant has been quietly making waves since opening in 2015.

Our recent dinner here was one of the best meals I’ve had in London – a delight from the very first bite to last.

The creamy, delicately spiced mustard ice cream paired with the venison beautifully… the temperature contrast boosting the flavours further.

The pigeon main course was cooked immaculately – the breasts still pink & succulent… the flavour surprising subtle & clean by pigeon standards.

I for one am already looking forward to returning later on in the year as the seasons and produce evolve to get more of Tom Kemble’s impeccable cooking.

review of London British restaurant Bonhams by Andy Hayler in July ...

Chef Tom Kemble has an unusually strong emphasis on high grade ingredients, and the Bonhams wine list, which changes regularly, takes advantage of the auction house expertise.

At the high end of the list prices are barely above retail, making this the best value wine list in London.

Turbot fillet was from a large 5kg fish and had excellent flavour, served with a stuffed courgette flower and a crab and cuttlefish bisque.

The fish size matters because the flavour of turbot is generally better the larger the fish, and the sub 2 kg specimens sell for less than half the wholesale price of the larger fish.

The courgette flower was delicate and the bisque had plenty of seafood flavour – a class dish (easily 16/20).

Bonhams Restaurant, Mayfair

The buzzThe Michelin-starred chef Tom Kemble and his team at Bonhams Restaurant, located within one of the world's oldest and most prestigious auction houses, have created a new tasting menu for spring.

More expertly prepared seasonal ingredients are given the chance to shine in dishes such as Luberon asparagus with black truffle, brown butter hollandaise and confit lemon, and roast Cornish Monkfish with agretti, smoked Jersey Royals and mussel sauce.

Meat-lovers will thoroughly enjoy the caramelised veal sweetbreads with wild garlic, green apple, XO sauce and baby-gem lettuce, and a tasty spiced squab pigeon breast and confit leg with komatsuna leaf, peas, morels and piquillo pepper.

A London lunch venue for oenophiles: we Test Drive Bonhams ...

You enter the restaurant at its lower ground floor wine bar which has a counter and a few tables.

We kicked off with gutsy dish of panisse with artichokes, tapenade, watercress and walnut and a more rustic (and tastier) terrine that were expecting of pork and foie gras terrine served simply with pickled cherry and frisee (both £10).

A main dish of pumpkin gnocchi was solid but not overexciting (£16) which meant that order envy was reserved for the person who chose the slow-cooked Cumbrian lamb neck (£22) which combined beautifully sourced meat with all manner of on-trend ingredients such as miso glazed aubergine, quinoa and preserved lemon without losing direction.

Cunningly, Bonhams have brought a young, enthusiastic team with plenty of interesting experience to ensure their restaurant is also an interesting place too.

It didn’t help that, on the day we visited the restaurant inside Bonhams on London’s New Bond Street, the galleries were filled with glorious works.

Still I’ll do my best, even though Tom Kemble’s cooking is about as good a candidate for this sort of guff as I’ve come across in a long while.

The six-month-old restaurant at Bonhams, which is open for breakfast and lunch and for a set menu on Thursday nights only, is literally one of London’s hidden gems.

There are slices of bull’s heart tomato, confited to make them more themselves, a tiny dice of crunchy courgette and a puddle of warm, foamy crab bisque, which is where the intense throb of the brown meat has gone to live out its days.

Not one for the timid Hello to Uncover, a new app which lists available tables in big-name London restaurants, on the day – recent offers include Kitty Fishers and the River Café – complete with one-click booking.
