Bokan: A very modern hotel restaurant

Dining with a view, 37 storeys high in Canary Wharf
Ben Norum10 December 2017

Based on the 37th floor of a Novotel, Bokan certainly isn’t your average chain hotel restaurant. It towers over Canary Wharf and boasts suitably spectacular views of London’s skyline over the Docklands.

When it comes to the cooking, French chef Aurelie Altemaire focuses on British ingredients to create a pan-European menu that includes duck breast with foie gras ravioli; scallops with black pudding, apple and celeriac; and rib-eye steak with grilled polenta and padron peppers.

For those in it more for the views than the food, head upstairs to the bar space, where cheese and charcuterie keeps stomachs lined. That could be useful if you’re exploring the wine list, which is split into sections such as ‘reinvented’ and ‘revelation’ - a fresh approach for a very modern hotel restaurant.
