   I had a wonderful experience at Bibendum. Commencing with walking into the dining room, the stained glass windows which lit the room with color in the evening sun set the ambience. The service was excellent from all members and after choosing the Classic option, I was afforded the option of trying a desired item from the Seasonal menu - and was well both it. I also had a personalized wine pairing, all of which fitted the courses beautifully. The food was both imaginative and delicious and all courses were equally strong. I will definitely return and try the new season menu and also strongly recommend to friends.

   The food is quite simply extraordinary. Service faultless. Some of the most innovative, well executed dishes you could imagine.

   We were greeted by every member of staff as we arrived and service was exceptionally attentive, chatty and perfectly paced. The atmosphere was gorgeous, from the stained glass to the petrol blue carpets. References to Bibendum, from the elegant wine glasses to the crockery and even the salt and pepper pots, added another layer of thoughtfulness. The technique on show throughout the menu was dazzlingly precise and creative. Highlights in the first courses were the brioche mousse surrounded by foamy foie gras and the layers of flavours in the Bibendum egg, particularly the feta foam. For the mains and fish courses, the goat roulade topped with razor clams and samphire was delicious and well-balanced. Both the frogs legs and monkfish were delicately cooked but the garlic custard and Singapore sauce, respectively, both felt a little off-balance. Likewise, the scallops were incredible but the elderflower vinegar seemed underpowered and could have provided more robust sweetness and floral notes to accentuate the shellfish. The cheese chest contained all of my stinky favourites and, thanks to the knowledge of the waiters, I was able to discover some new ones, including Langres, a soft cheese washed in Champagne and Cathare, a squidgy goats cheese. Desserts were a triumph, particularly the English pea and strawberry dish that had us trying to work out how on Earth the flavours could marry well. The cherries and chocolate in the other puddings were heavenly too. For wine, we were able to have a glass of the same Heidsieck we chose for our wedding toast. We were also introduced to a South African Pinot Noir with much more complexity than usual, and a velvety Calvados, again thanks to the knowledge and enthusiasm of the sommeliers. We left with full bellies, huge smiles and a small gift of sweets as a memento of a wonderful night; an evening I fully intend to repeat.

   We had the season menu. Most of the courses were very acid what makes it heavy on your stomach. The presentation was very impressive and beautiful. We can not say the same for the taste as there were basil (pesto) in 3 dishes if I am not mistaken. Service was exceptional. There was an issue with the toilet that I had to advise the hostess.

    First of all, the attention to details by the staff was amazing! Food was incredible and well prepared with an eye for how it was presented. The whole visit to the restaurant was an amazing experience for us, from start to finish. We want to send an extra gratitude to the sommelier and the waiters for being really nice to us!

    How can anyone fail to enjoy this experience, the portions may seem small for the money but by the time you’ve finished you’re quite full. The staff are top-notch and first rate, Polite and attentive but not intrusive. We were also contacted the day before find out whether anyone had any allergies. We had previously ate in the Oyster bar downstairs and found it a little noisy. The first time we ever ate at a Claude Bosi restaurant called Hibiscus. After a visit to the bathroom I came back to find my wife chatting with the man himself. He was very polite and unassuming. It was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Thank You

    An impeccable evening, as expected. The team couldn't have done more. My final bill seemed slightly off in terms of the drinks present, however it was in line with my overall expectations so I didn't challenge the team.

    Here’s the review I wrote: Five stars, an unforgettable experience. My 16-year old son and I enjoyed the seasonal tasting menu — nine flavorful courses of regionally sourced small dishes with French and international accents. We sat down at 6:30pm and, to our surprise, concluded our meal at 11:30pm with a final tour of the kitchen that the thoughtful service invited my son on. In each course we had from one to three small dishes which each had a distinct personality and which tied together thematically with the other bites. The opening dishes— Parmesan Gugelhupf, Foi Gras ice cream w a balsamic caramel (?) brûlée, French onion soup, and a tart of Mackerel cured in lime with vanilla—gives one an idea of the combination of tastes and thought that Claude Bosi puts into curating the menu. The staff had a visible passion for highest quality dining, and explained each dish and combination, and answered our occasional questions about cooking methods. We were seated so we could view through glass panels the fascinating kitchen and obviously strong leadership it takes to deliver flawless food and service. It elevated fine dining to performance art. We enjoyed the beautiful decor of the room as well, which felt comfortable and modern as well as gorgeously imbued with the Michelin legacy of a love of experiencing the good things in life.

    Wonderful experience for my family who arrived from Malaysia. My granddaughter (5) was very shy to start with but enjoyed the attention given by the crews. I was very happy the restaurant is a child friendly as we could not leave the little girl out of the wonderful experience. TQ all for being nice to us. Will definitely come again soon.

    When you dine at a world renowned restaurant with two Michelin stars you really have high expectations on not just the food but everything else that comes with it. We found it shocking that the staffs of the restaurant kept coughing without their masks on the entire evening, despite being courteous and friendly. COVID is not over yet and it’s actually rising again. For a restaurant with such reputation, it is disappointing to see the staffs and the manager did not do anything about the coughing situation. I am not being picky here - there were 2-3 staffs coughing non stop. I think it’s more sensible if they could advise staffs to keep having face coverings on should they feel unwell.

    A lovely setting and both friendly and immaculate service but we made a mistake in succumbing to the not so subtle marketing for the seasonal taster menu for £175 rather than a more conventional three course dinner for £145. For the latter one is told specially to ask for the menu, whilst the taster menus (2 alternatives) are more or less assumed. The taster menu itself had many exotic and varied tastes, often in unusual combinations, which was sometimes interested and in a few cases exceptionally delicious. But overall too many dishes were in a similar format - ie. in a foamy creamy format and it was a bit much. Also it was poor that two of the dishes contained fois gras with no warning on the menu or when ordering it. It may have been in small quantities but many of us have moral qualms about it and, in my case, I know from experience that it’s too rich for my stomach. Yes, we were asked about dietary requirements but it’s not something one usually feels it’s necessary to mention. It really should be highlighted on the menu. The net result was a tummy ache three hours later - whether from the whole thing or that ingredient on its own I cannot tell. More positively some of the taster courses were excellent - the hake, a stuffed mushroom dish and the desert. The wine, whilst high quality even at the lower price end, was astoundingly expensive. It was certainly an interesting and memorable experience but perhaps the lesson for me is: in places like this don’t go for taster menus, go for specific dishes.
