Bonds

Built to imperious Victorian specifications, this grand dining room retains many features recognisable from its days as a financial institution. The client base is strictly city business folk with generous expense accounts, and the menu is succinctly scripted, studded with luxury produce and shows clear aspiration from a talented kitchen. A good-value lighter lunch is offered, while the carte lifts quality, technique and pricing accordingly. Try ravioli of lobster with Armagnac bisque, or Dorset crab with smoked salmon, crème fraîche and Oscietra caviar, followed by roast duck with caramelised red onion tart Tatin, fondue of gem lettuce and Madeira jus, or roast cod, scallops and octopus daube, confit celeriac and potato purée, with banana and caramel parfait and passionfruit sorbet to finish.
