Bohemia Restaurant

Bohemia would make a splash in any major town or city and in St Helier it is a veritable tidal wave. Located in The Club Hotel & Spa, a stylish and impossibly fashionable boutique hotel near the centre of town, Bohemia is a destination restaurant. There is a bold and brilliant bar - to see and be seen - while the dining room is a refined and elegant space, the colours chosen from a natural palette. Leather chairs, banquette seating, wooden finishes, Lalique glass and tables smartly set and clothed in linen make for a contemporary and eminently moneyed look. Chef Shaun Rankin's menus are based around classic and modern British and French preparations, some contemporary innovations and first class produce. There is a tasting menu with the option of suggested wines, a kitchen table if you want to get up close and personal, and a fantastically good value set lunch. All the bells and whistles are present - amuse-bouche, pre-desserts and petits-fours - and strong technical skill is evident throughout. Luxury ingredients are used to great effect in a starter of lightly poached Royal Bay oysters, Sévruga caviar, saffron noodles and lemon butter, and contemporary ideas figure in another starter of goat's cheese ice cream with carrot and tomato jelly and a celery salad. Main-course squab pigeon is served with a Roquefort risotto and an Asian pear, and Jersey lobster with home-made macaroni and crab and fennel céviche. A selection of mini desserts for two people will prevent a difficult decision: rhubarb crumble soufflé with white chocolate cannelloni or Valrhona's Caraïbe chocolate tart with whisky cream, semi-fredo and espresso granité? Service is professional but not at all stuffy.
