Bonheur: meaning a state of profound happiness and perfect harmony between pleasure and purpose. Return to the former site of Le Gavroche, where Bonheur by Matt Abé has recently been awarded two Michelin-stars within its first year, since opening in November 2025.
Join Matt Abé, previously Chef Patron of Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, at his latest venture where he pursues the highest expression of hospitality. An eight-course Tasting Menu which is ingredient-led and classically rooted, with a glass of Champagne on arrival.
An evening in conversation with legendary restaurateur Jeremy King, discussing the reopening of a reimagined Simpson’s and the launch of his memoir at the end of last year Without Reservation: Lessons From a Life in Restaurants.
Simpson’s in the Strand is the latest opening in the acclaimed businessman’s empire, following The Wolseley and The Ivy to name a few. Having first opened its doors in 1828, the restaurant is steeped in history with only a few years off celebrating its 200th anniversary. Enjoy a traditional British menu of timeless classics, glass of Champagne and a signed copy of Jeremy’s book.
