My first solo dine, and what a place to choose.
The newly awarded two Michelin star Bonheur by Chef @chef.mattabe truly lives up to its name.
The interior is wrapped in deep, dark beige tones, elegant, warm, and cohesive. Even the front-of-house uniforms mirror the colour palette. A real devil’s in the detail moment, something I always appreciate.
I chose the ‘Dream’ menu (7 courses). The restaurant also offers a ‘Journey’ menu (5 courses), and what I love is that they are completely different experiences, the Journey isn’t just a shortened version of Dream. There’s also an à la carte option, which makes the concept feel generous rather than fixed.
The food is beautifully composed and genuinely delicious, with a wide range of ingredients and flavours. Some elements felt warmly familiar, especially the crosnes, which brought back memories of picking them during my time working at L’Enclume. Those small nostalgic moments always make a meal feel personal.
Dining solo meant I skipped the wine pairing this time:) a quiet evening with the food taking full focus.
The atmosphere was relaxed and confident. Front of house felt friendly, calm, and completely at ease, which makes all the difference when you dine alone.
Although I absolutely love listening to Ed Sheeran, I might personally prefer something a little less beat-driven for a Michelin-starred dining room soundtrack 😉
Overall, a beautiful restaurant with a great vibe.
Already looking forward to experiencing the next menu. #themoonlighttasting #culinaryjourney #michelinstar #finedininglondon #bonheurbymattabé

Hi, l just wanted to extend my most heartfelt and sincere appreciation to all the staff at Le Bonheur. I came with my cousin—it was his wedding gift—but for me, it meant so much more than that. He has always been there for me, at times I was letting myself down. I wanted something truly special. And you absolutely delivered. The food was exceptional. We both chose the Dreams menu, accompanied by a beautiful bottle of wine. But more than anything, it was your team that made the evening unforgettable. Everyone was incredibly kind, warm, and genuine. The smiles, the simplicity, and they even made us meet the chef. Many starred establishments become so caught up in prestige that they forget what a restaurant is really about. Serving a Meal. You reminded us. Thank you for giving us that night—our own “Petit Moment de Bonheur.” Makaty
