You have to eat our Vegan Basque Ginger Cheesecake to appreciate how good it really is. Entirely vegan, though you really wouldn’t know it, it has the deeply burnished top and soft, creamy centre of a classic Basque cheesecake, with ginger running through for warmth.

Right now, we’re serving it with Pinot Noir poached cherries: dark, juicy and just tart enough to cut through all that richness.

There is something especially generous about a table crowded with sides: the dishes you reach across for, pass around, tear into, spoon onto your plate and go back to for just one more mouthful.

There are Salt & Vinegar Hasselback New Potatoes with crisp, craggy edges; Green Bean & Cashew Nut Thoran, fragrant with toasted coconut and curry leaves; Sukuma Wiki, braised greens cooked the Kenyan way with lots of lemon; brioche like Saffron Sheermal for tearing and sharing; and our bright, sharp Shaamba Pickles that go with everything!
Quite frankly, we could make a meal of them alone.

Our Grilled Pork Tenderloin takes its cue from the smoky grilled meats of northeast Thailand, traditionally eaten with nam jim jaew: an addictitve dipping sauce made of chilli, lime, fish sauce and toasted rice.

The stunning pork comes from our neighbours at The Ginger Pig. Tuck a slice into a crisp chicory leaf with a few pea shoots, spoon over plenty of nahm jim jaew before wolfing down. It’s a postcard from a trip to Bangkok that we can’t get enough of.

Few things are lovelier in the blaze of summer than cold coupes of home made ice cream or sorbet. Choose from rich and nutty pistachio made with Sicilian pistachios, Ovaltine for a flavour of childhood nostalgia or strawberry for a fruity, vibrant taste of the season. Or you could just have all three…

Rhys, our General Manager, has been a much loved part of our restaurant family for the last 8 years. We think of him as a swan – effortlessly graceful on top and furiously paddling under the water.

Here he is in his own words…

Our delicious pork chops come from our friends at the The Ginger Pig. They are hefty, toothsome and coated in our aromatic Coorgi spice rub and roasted until the fat is amber. They are served with a zesty lentil salad with flatbread croutons and a vibrant coconut sambal to a lightness and brightness to the whole dish.

For one night only on Sunday, Jikoni went Italian and became Cicconi & Ravinder Bhogal got to live her fantasy of being everybody’s nonna 👵

It was a taste of la dolce vita in our Blandford Street dining room as part of Dine Out festival. There were Cacio e Pepe puffs with Pecorino from Sicily, Grezzini courgette and white peach panzanella with pistachios and Mozzarella Di Bufala, Zerbinati Melon with Cured Sea Bream & Herb oil, linguine alle vongole with Amalfi Lemons, a classic tiramisu and plenty of Negronis. There was also a full list of organic Italian wines with majority female producers.

We had 3 house rules:
1. Never say you are too full!
2. Eat all the pasta!
3. And visit nonna more often.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening such a joy!

A presto amici!
