Also on the south coast, William Sitwell was full of praise for Ryan Jacovides’s warm and beautifully lighted restaurant which, along with the stylish London & Paris Hotel nearby, is “doing [its] best to smarten up this ancient coastal town on the English Channel”.
The menu at Pomus takes culinary inspiration from across the globe, with touches of France and Spain as well as glimpses of Asia and Africa – “quite reasonably, just lots of tasty stuff that the owner and chef reckon will keep your taste buds alert while you pile on through an interesting wine list”.
The only fault William found was that some of the spicier dishes – marinated courgettes, chicken hearts in peri peri sauce, cassoulet – would have benefitted from a stronger kick. His dish of the night was a beautifully cooked plaice “in a rich buttery sauce, strewn with samphire and cockles”.
