Reasons to go

  • Occupies the former premises of Le Gavroche, one of London's most historically significant French restaurants

📖

Full description

Bonheur occupies the space once home to Le Gavroche, one of London's most historically important French restaurants, and reviewers who've tried both suggest the new kitchen holds its own against that legacy. Dishes like beef tartare and lobster with a rich sauce get specific early praise, and the restaurant's low review count relative to its scores suggests it's still a relatively new, under-the-radar opening rather than an established name.

At 4.5 stars and premium pricing, it suits an evening for couples or small groups interested in catching an ambitious new fine-dining restaurant before it becomes more widely known. Its comparatively low must-see score paired with a strong hidden-gem score reflects that early-discovery status.

Reviews

What an amazing restaurant serving the finest dishes that I have eaten in years. Set within the former home of Le Gavroche, Bonheur certainly is on par. The quality of the tasting menu was outstanding with each plate a work of art and amazing flavours. The restaurant was bright and airy and the staff were brilliant,…
