A Culinary Journey at Bohemia: Jersey’s Only Michelin-Starred Restaurant
Head Chef Callum Graham at Bohemia, Jersey’s only Michelin-starred restaurant
Now, let’s talk about food—because, honestly, what’s a holiday without some serious decadent dining? The highlight of our stay was, without a doubt, the Tasting Menu at Bohemia, Jersey’s only Michelin-starred restaurant. Led by the incredibly talented Callum Graham, Bohemia is where modern European fare meets the freshest, highest-quality ingredients that Jersey and its surrounding islands have to offer. Every dish was a testament to Callum’s passion for culinary innovation and his knack for turning simple ingredients into something extraordinary.
Each course was more than just food; it was a culinary journey
Standout dishes included:
Homage to the “Humble Potato” with Exmoor Cornish Salted Caviar – Jersey might be famous for its potatoes, but this dish took them to a whole new level. Paired with luxurious Exmoor Cornish salted caviar, it was the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes and savour every bite.
Barbecued Welsh Saddle of Lamb – Rich, tender, and full of flavour, this dish was beautifully accompanied by braised lamb-stuffed morel, British green asparagus, and wild garlic.
Dessert: “Ivoire Valrhona Chocolate Bar” – Opulance on a plate. Blondie, pistachio, and forced rhubarb came together in a dessert that was as visually stunning as it was delicious.
The Cheese Selection – If you’re a cheese lover, this was a selection that dreams are made of—perfectly paired with a specially recommended port that brought out the best in each bite.
Each course was more than just food; it was an experience—a journey of flavours that made dining at Bohemia an unforgettable part of our Jersey adventure.

Adventure on the Water: Seafaris Boat Excursion
The Seafaris boat ride to the Écréhous islands was a thrilling highlight
But Jersey isn’t just about indulgence—it’s also about adventure. One of the most exhilarating experiences we had was the Seafaris boat excursion. Picture this: you’re on a super-fast RIB, the wind whipping through your hair as you zoom across the water towards the Écréhous, a small group of islands and rocks just off the Jersey coast. The ride was pure adrenaline, but the real magic happened when we arrived. Seals basking on the rocks, an abundance of local wildlife—it was like stepping into a nature documentary. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
