Adam Simmonds announces new signature restaurant

Adam Simmonds, chef-patron at King's Cross hotel The Megaro, has announced that his new signature restaurant, Voyage with Adam Simmonds, will launch in January. 

Simmonds has experience in some of the UK's most acclaimed kitchens, having worked under Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, before moving on to Ynyshir Hall in Wales and Adam Simmonds at Danesfield House – with both venues earning a Michelin star during his tenure.

The Megaro's new concept is inspired by Scandinavia, where style is characterised by minimalism, purity and freshness, with clean, natural-looking flavours defining the menu. 

Simmonds' other influences include contemporary architecture, art and nature. Dishes will emphasise seasonality, sustainability and provenance. By foraging, preserving, fermenting and pickling seasonal produce, the chef aims to maximise flavour profiles from land and sea. 

Highlights will include oysters with fermented apple and white asparagus; celeriac, yeast, oakmoss and walnut; venison with ember-roasted beetroot, blackberry vinegar and thyme crumb; and roasted koji barley ice cream served with hazelnut milk and sobacha. 

Reflecting what will be served on the plates, the interiors will be refined and uncluttered. The colour palette will be light and airy, with natural woods bringing warmth to the space. 

"There is no aspect that we haven't meticulously and thoughtfully considered is the quest to give our guests the best possible experience," says Simmonds. "We want to ensure that Voyage is much more than simply a place to dine, that it is rather a journey through the senses of life."
