Covent Garden’s Henrietta Hotel has always been at the cutting edge of fine-dining, the 19th century townhouse opening in 2017 with Michelin-starred chef Ollie Dabbous at its restaurant before he moved on to Hide). Now comes the news that Jackson Boxer (Brunswick House, Orasay and more recently of The Corner at Selfridges fame) is opening a bistro on the Henrietta Hotel’s ground floor with the Experimental Group.
Called Henri, the bistro comes hot on the heels of their collaboration at Cowley Manor Experimental in the Cotswolds (a solid entry on our recent list of the best new UK hotels, inns and restaurants with rooms). Cowley Manor Experimental was also selected this week as the winner of Condé Nast Traveller’s The UK’s Top New Restaurant Awards.
All of this is to say that the Parisian-inspired Henri Bistro will most definitely be worth checking out (before or after a Covent Garden theatre visit would be ideal), with the décor overseen by French interior designer Dorothée Meilichzon, aiming to evoke the beauty of Paris’ visuals with hints of historical Covent Garden.
You should expect Jackson’s trademark takes on French cuisine alongside the flair of Experimental’s cocktails, but we’ll keep you posted on the specifics of the menu closer to the time.
