Bohemia Restaurant

Opening in the summer of 2005, the Club Hotel and Spa immediately laid claim to being St Helier's hottest property. Set a little apart from the town-centre bustle, it has nonetheless become a focal point and magnet for Jersey's smart set. 'Chic' is a word that crops up reliably in any description of the Bohemia Restaurant, where the Jane Goff design is oriented towards a laid-back, international feel, with dark brown tones, leather seating and quality tableware predominant. Shaun Rankin's menus aim to make the most of what he calls the 'natural kitchen garden that is Jersey'. Menu formats range from a top-value fixed-price lunch to the all-singing, all-dancing Taste and Combination Menu, where nine dishes plus extras are productively teamed with pre-selected wines. The culinary style is modern Anglo-French, as befits the location, with novel ideas that refresh and redefine the traditional repertoire. Variations on Jersey crab start off a meal in fine style, offering perfectly fresh crabmeat in a salad, along with ravioli of crab, avocado and tomato, a crab beignet and a sweetly fruity olive oil sorbet. Meat and fish partnerships are all the rage, and turn up here in the shape of veal and turbot, the former as braised shin and a portion of glazed sweetbread, the latter roasted, and matched with chopped kumquats and dill-seasoned baby carrots. Desserts are no less finely detailed, rhubarb crumble soufflé appearing with white chocolate fudge cannelloni, or Amaretto parfait with salted caramel, barley ice cream and lemon curd. Incidentals (breads, canapés, petits fours) are fully up to the mark. This is without doubt a destination restaurant.
