FRENCH ONION SOUP
As the evenings cool, there are few pleasures more comforting than a classic French onion soup enjoyed on the Bon Vin terrace.

Slowly caramelised onions are simmered into a rich, deeply flavoured broth and finished with a golden Gruyère crouton, creating a dish that is both timeless and unmistakably French.

Celebrating Chef Lisa 🎂

Tonight at Bon Vin, we took a moment between the rhythm of service to celebrate someone very special to our kitchen — Chef Lisa.

A chef who brings passion, precision, and a beautiful energy to the team every day. From the early prep hours to the final plates leaving the pass, her dedication and positive spirit make our kitchen a better place.

It’s always special when the team can pause, share a laugh, cut a cake, and celebrate one of our own.

Happy Birthday Chef Lisa — thank you for your hard work, creativity, and the joy you bring to the kitchen every day.

Cheers to another year of beautiful food and great service. 🥂

Delicate berry skewers, bright and refreshing to lift the palate.
And a vibrant raspberry macaron, crisp shell with a tender centre and fragrant filling.

Valentine’s Day dinner service at Bon Vin.

An evening shaped by precision, timing and quiet confidence from the kitchen to the floor. Each course paced with intention, each plate composed with clarity — from delicate seafood beginnings to classical French mains and a refined pâtisserie finish.

Soft lighting, polished glassware, the gentle hum of conversation and the rhythm of service moving seamlessly behind the scenes. Romance here is not theatrical — it’s considered, elegant and assured.

Thank you to everyone who chose to celebrate with us. Your tables, your conversations, your trust in our craft — that is what makes the evening.

Valentine’s Day at Bon Vin.
Refined dining. Thoughtful hospitality. A service to remember.
