Boho Marché

Last week we were invited to dine in Boho Marché, the restaurant in the Francis Hotel.  A Moroccan inspired menu with a twist of Mediterranean, we were looking forward to seeing the decor and sampling the menu.

Whilst we looked at the menu we ordered cocktails, a Rapsberry Spritz, (£9.50) and a Bloody Mary (£9) - both were delicious and arrived promptly.
The decor is really beautiful with so much to see - there are lots of little booths and hidden tables for dates, as well as a private dining area for groups.
For starters we ordered the Spicy Salmon Crisps Toastados (£11), which was a lovely combination of yuzu cured salmon, avocado, red onion with BBQ mayo and fresh herbs and the Five Pepper Squid (£9) served with a spicy ginger sauce.  Both were really tasty and we would order them again.

For the main course we went for the Fillet of Hake (£21)  - pan roasted and served with confit rosemary onion, cannellini beans & ras el hanout roasted tomatoes.  This was tasty but a little dry.  I had a side order of Brocolli (£7.50) which came with a delicious soy and yuzu sauce, which I poured over the beans - and that was delicious.  My husband chose the Ox Cheek (£22) - Slow braised and served with smoked creamy mash and red wine jus, very tender and tasty.

For dessert the Sticky Toffee Pudding (£7) was my husband's choice, which he said was really good but it could have done with more ice cream as it was a very small scoop.  I went for the Deep Fried Ice Cream (£6), which was gorgeously crispy with a melting vanilla middle - fantastic.

In summary, we really enjoyed our meal at Boho Marché.  Pricing is on the high side, but it is a hotel restaurant and it is in a very central location.  There are some lovely outside seating areas for Al Fresco dining, and they are open all day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
