BACK TO
BOHEME
IF YOU, LIKE US, HAVE NOT BEEN TO BOHEME IN QUITE SOME
TIME, YOU’RE IN FOR QUITE A TREAT. OR AT LEAST SOME TOPNOTCH PEOPLE WATCHING. A MAINSTAY ON FAIRVIEW IN THE

Table after table enjoyed frozen mojitos (easily the top-selling drink) and

garlic mayo, cilantro and crushed peanuts) or Bangkok fries (all of
Vietnam, adding smoked pork and curry) ooorrr those awesome flat bread
pizzas. Our short space can’t do the menu, food or drink ju
