Voyage with Adam Simmonds
The Megaro hotel, King’s Cross, in partnership with its Chef Patron, the Michelin star-winning Adam Simmonds, is delighted to announce a late January 2025 opening date for its new signature restaurant, Voyage with Adam Simmonds.
An exceptional culinary talent, Adam has led some of the nation’s finest kitchens. He worked under Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons before achieving one Michelin star at Ynyshir Hall in Wales followed by another star at Adam Simmonds at Danesfield House. More recently he has been at the forefront of promoting a healthier and more conscious environment in the hospitality industry. This new opening represents a dual journey, one which embodies both a unique dining experience and an intimate narrative of his personal evolution.
Relaxed and informal yet sophisticated, Voyage with Adam Simmonds promises guests a combination of captivating tastes, bold flavours and delightful textures, all underpinned by impeccable service. Adam’s focal point is Scandinavia, where style is characterised by minimalism, purity and freshness.
Thus natural-looking, clean flavours that are light and elegant define Voyage’s menu, which combines the best of traditional methods with modern and exciting cooking techniques.
Other sources of inspiration are contemporary architecture, art and nature. Like an artist, Adam views plates as canvases that allow him to express shapes and textures, enabling the simplicity and straightforwardness of the ingredients to shine through. As regards these ingredients, Adam has always been passionate about seasonality, sustainability and provenance and Voyage will see him go a step further. By foraging, preserving, fermenting and pickling the finest seasonal produce, he will maximise the flavour profiles from the land and sea.
At the same time, he works closely with farmers, growers and suppliers to revive old traditions, celebrating his immense respect for his profession and his genuine love for cooking. By their very nature Adam’s dishes will change according to the seasons but those dining at Voyage will be treated to standouts of the calibre of Oysters with fermented apple & white asparagus; Celeriac, yeast, oakmoss & walnut; Venison with ember-roasted beetroot, blackberry vinegar & thyme crumb and Roasted koji barley ice cream served with hazelnut milk & sobacha.
The clean lines and minimalist aesthetics associated with Scandinavian décor are also very much in evidence at Voyage. Reflecting what is being served on the plate, the interiors are at once stylish, refined and uncluttered, whilst still welcoming. The colour palette is light and airy, with natural woods lending a real warmth to the space. Diners will immediately notice the absence of a divide between the kitchen and the dining area; those accustomed to separation can now enjoy a harmonious blend.
