Jonez on Food

Jonez on Food offers an elegant lesson in the beauty of simple things done well. Low on flash with a minimalist decor, well-spaced tables and staff who are friendly and knowledgeable yet unobtrusive, the food takes centre stage under the sure hand of chef and owner Gary Jones. A smoked salmon amuse bouche proves the perfect springboard into a menu built around inventive dishes that come in generous serves. Twice-baked goat's cheese souffle pairs perfectly with a salty, spicy crunch of dukkah, while a Japanese tasting plate blends texture and taste in delicate morsels such as a very fine sashimi. Local seafood is showcased at its best: fresh fish, prawns, mussels and more, with an extra spoon encouraging diners to indulge in the rich accompanying bisque. Dessert creates a welcome study in comfort food, from apple tarte tatin to chocolate fondue. For a step back in time, order the crepes Suzette and watch them flame at the table. A truly spectacular finish.
