We were looking for a sophisticated restaurant for Friday night as we ourselves were celebrating a very special wedding anniversary and birthday the following weekend. We were absolutely not disappointed from the moment we arrived until we left the waiters were so attentive. The meal was beautiful chosen from a minimal menu, which can be see on line. The presentation first class. There was no rush for us to finish our meal and the ambience just perfect. The restaurant needs to be more visible from outside we walked around with our maps looking for it. However loads of nearby street parking available. We would absolutely recommend the Bouvardia.

Wonderful food and service. A bit quiet on our first night but better atmosphere on the second. read more Wonderful food and service. A bit quiet on our first night but better atmosphere on the second.

From the moment we entered we were struck by the elegance and sophistication of the restaurant, and the superb service and attention to detail from the staff. We arrived for the start of dinner service at 17:30, something we would highly recommend as we were able to enjoy seeing the restaurant sparkle in the sunlight, as the modern decor boasts stunning skylights and a dazzling mirror wall. This intimate dining room then played host to a wonderful evening of food and drink that were beautifully presented and extremely tasty in equal measure! Homemade Organic Stone Baked Sourdough with Honey Butter £8) Loved the sweet and delicate notes of the honey in the butter and the crunch of freshly baked bread! Braised Pork Cheek with Fennel and Chilli Salad and Pork Jus £14) This was the showstopper dish of the day for us and really set the tone for the rest of the meal! It melted in the mouth and had a wonderful smokey flavour. Miso Aubergine with Toasted Walnuts and Den Miso Sauce £10) Another favourite from our visit! It had a rich umami flavour which stimulates the palate and the accompaniments gave it a nice crunch. Duck Breast with a Plum Glaze, Candied Orange and a Red Wine Jus £27) The duck was cooked medium, it was tender and succulent and had a lovely crisp and flavoursome skin. The sauce was rich, fruity and really moreish! Fillet of Sea Bass with Mint Salsa Verde, Crispy Mussels and Preserved Lemon Garnish £29) Lovely flakey fish with crispy skin, the lemon came through nicely and the mint packed a nice punch! We also loved the contrast between the soft fish and the crunch of the mussels. ️ To accompany our mains we ordered: Garlic and Parsley Crushed New Potatoes £6) lovely, fresh and herby! Grilled Vegetables with Pesto £6) we really enjoyed the charred flavour of these, especially on the cabbage. No meal is complete without dessert so we ordered: Dark Chocolate and Orange Torte with a Hazelnut Crumb Base and Coconut Sorbet £11) The torte has a subtle orange flavour which I really enjoyed as it wasn’t at all artificial or overpowering. It was incredibly rich so the portion size was perfect! The coconut sorbet was nice and sweet and complimented the dark chocolate flavours. The candied orange garnish was also very tasty! Sticky Toffee Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce and Chantilly Cream £13) We were blown away by how light and fluffy this was as often sticky toffee pudding can be quite dense. The butterscotch sauce was so delicious we could drink it!! For drinks we were recommended by our server to order the Sauvignon Blanc as it pairs well with the Seabass and she was absolutely correct! It had fresh, peachy undertones and complimented the fish nicely. We also ordered a light and fruity Australian Rose which paired well with the duck!
