Nicoise Lunch, 18 May
Join us for a special lunch with Rosa Jackson to celebrate her beautiful new cookbook, Nicoise.
With its focus on olive oil, fresh produce, fish and grains, Rosa argues that Nicoise cuisine is closer to the food of the Mediterranean than the classical French menu. Rosa will be present, and will talk through the dishes, which will be cooked by the Toklas chefs.
Come for Saturday lunch on the terrace, served and seated family style, to sample typical dishes including
Pissaladiere
Radish-top Soup with Ricotta and Chives
Salade Nicoise (the original recipe)
Petits Farcis
Chicken Bouillabaisse
Strawberry Tart
Vegetarian options will be available.
£75 per person, including Provence wine from Valerie Courreges, excluding service charge.
A bottle of wine between two is included in the price.

The menu, is simply a set of great ingredients, presented to the very best of their advantage…
No wheels are reinvented, you are just fed very well.

Each dish is a subtle, untweezery, blob-defying knockout, a Mediterranean-scented celebration of produce as hero.

Toklas is more exciting than almost any other room in London… the courtyard level is thrust through the building above and hung out over Surrey Street as a terrace. You eat, suspended among the upper layers of the surrounding buildings, staring at the ceramic encrustation of the old Strand Tube station, realising how much of this part of London is actually Beaux Arts.

Luminous brioche laminations and thick slices of tarts blessed with citrus from Todoli are quotidian beauties.
