Bibendum in Kensington and Chelsea

We had a wonderful experience. We had the market lunch menu, and each dish was very refined and extremely tasty. The presentation, the service, the food...all worth 5 stars. The market lunch is supposed to be 3 courses but it's actually way beyond that if you include the 2 mise en bouche and the petits fours with the coffee. I will definitely return when I get a chance.

Charging a fee of £165 per person if 30+ minutes late when a lunch menu actually starts at £85 per person doesn't sound reasonable to me. Is this chef having passion making food or money? I'm a bit puzzled here...

Super tasty food although the tables were very small.

My wife and I had an amazing meal at Claude The service is impeccable, like nothing I have experienced before. The waiters and staff take pride in their service, detailed knowledge and explanation of the food and always attentive without being overbearing. Always friendly and smiling. The food was delightful, presented like artwork. Even the cutlery was something to marvel at. We spent almost 3 hours dining, it was a truly memorable experience. And not to forget how chef Claude give us a chance to step in to the kitchen to say hello and take few photos ❤️ Night to remember

Sunday lunch in Claude Bosi Dibendum, a two Michelin Star restaurant, £85, lunch market menu.

Incredible food, ambiance and experience. Expertly crafted dishes, paired impeccably with quality, researched wines and served by an exceptional front of house team, thank you guys for taking such a good care of us, you're amazing. The potato and yolk ravioli with truffle was the best dish I've ever tried in my 15 years of career. I recommend any of you who like great food and service to visit bibendum. Round of applause for the team!

An amazing dining experience, undoubtedly and by far the best in London

We have an amazing experience and we would highly recommend this restaurant Mr Osman Yusuf

We booked for Valentine’s Day. They took a 300£ deposit. We arrived for Our booking at 9:15. They had decided to do a 7 course tasting menu unannounced at 275£ per head. We were sat down for our meal at 10:30 after having waited for 1:15 minutes for our table. By that time the live music had ended. And towards the end of the meal we felt the staff were ready for us to leave. The food was very good but the experience was ruined especially for Valentine’s Day. For the grand total Price of £1079 with the wine. Absolutely ridiculous to impose a set menu without warning at that price. And then deliver a sub par experience. If a Michelin guide judge had been there I can guarantee they would have lost at least one star. Cherry on the cake, the waiting drinks were charged to us and no apology was given by the manager. I felt terrible for the young man dealing with waiting customers. He tried his best and was left alone by the manager who quite honestly should be fired. Typical experience of when restaurants forget that it’s their honor to serve you instead of your honor to eat their food.

I just came from a Gordon Ramsay dining experience the other day, which could have been better: Dining at Claude Bosi at Bibendum was an unforgettable experience. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance oozes sophistication and charm, with the art-deco design setting the stage for what’s to come. The service is impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and every detail is considered. The menu is a creative masterpiece, with each dish showcasing Claude Bosi’s ability to combine bold flavors and fine ingredients in a way that feels both refined and innovative. Every bite was a delight, and the tasting menu, in particular, offered a stunning progression of flavors. The atmosphere is upscale yet comfortable, offering the perfect balance between elegance and warmth. This is a place for those who appreciate the art of fine dining, where the food is not only delicious but also a visual and sensory experience. For those looking for exceptional cuisine, Claude Bosi at Bibendum is undoubtedly a must-visit.

Food was delicious, the plating was appealing, and what impressed me also the gorgeous dining experience. The details on the table were also eye catching, including those fine wine glasses, the Michelin plates and stands. All these boosted up the atmosphere. The Bibendum egg brought me surprise, the ingredients matched well. I ordered venison and it was outstanding. Ravioli was perfect in texture and flavor. I was pleased to receive a complimentary cake for birthday celebration. And the cake tasted good as well. Waiters and waitresses were smart and friendly. I was served very well and it was a pleasure night. Only little issue was my table was not prepared on time. It was a few minutes late to my appointment. But this did’t affect my mood.

We had the most amazing experience! The setting of the restaurant is stunning. The Michelin notes around are really special. The staff were so attentive and kind for every single second. The food was incomparable. We had the lunch market menu and the dishes the chef chose were unbelievably incredible. We could not recommend highly enough. One of our highlights was that the Claude Bosi came and introduced himself personally, which we were thrilled by.

Encantador entorno, pero la comida estaba bien. El servicio fue atento y el personal agradable, pero la comida no logró impresionar. Los entrantes eran steak tartar y un salmón todo bueno pero nada especial. Los entrantes fueron seguidos por una langosta y dos mejillones. Una porción grande y otra pequeña. La langosta era buena pero los mejillones eran decepcionantes. Bastante pequeño, no regordete y jugoso que es lo que esperaría y un extraño sabor a limón al caldo. No es terrible solo agobiante. Me gustó que pudieras elegir un tamaño de porción y la porción grande era muy grande. Shan no regresa.

Exactly what you would expect from a restaurant of this calibre.

Fantastic experience. The food was delicious and the service was perfect!

Fantastic winter tasting menu with a number of creative dishes including truffles and seasonal ingredients, well combined with some of the signature courses that the restaurant is known for. Service is of the highest standard - and consistently. The wine list would not disappoint anyone. We will return soon and highly recommend a visit to other food-lovers.

Great place in London for oysters and champagne

food overly complicated and not very good. complicated and not very tasty. slow service - hanging around waiting for the next course i think i ate more bread than anything else

We went for my 25th birthday and were treated as if we were the only ones in the building. Nothing was too much trouble. There was a birthday card on my table when my arrived, signed by all the staff, and I was invited to meet the man himself in the kitchen because my partner had mentioned I was a fan. I’ve been wanting to visit since I was 18 and it was truly worth the wait. The food was absolutely superb. Every member of staff was impeccable and helpful, unobtrusive but also always on hand. Expensive? Yes. Value for money? Absolutely.

This restaurant is everything fine dining is supposed to be: incredible depth of selection in the wine list, impeccable and attentive service, visually stunning plating with an amazing combination of flavors, perfectly cooked food -- it all combines for one of the best dining experiences of my life. What was equally impressive was the creative alternative dishes they created for my dining companion who has multiple allergies; we've been in restaurants where the approach to handling multiple food allergies is a presentation of some bland meat, vegetables, and rice. The dishes they served to her were as stunning and delicious as the courses in the "standard" menu -- this is a 5-star dining experience all around. I can't heap enough praises on this place...truly amazing and worth every penny.

Rudest staff ever ever imaginable and worst service!!! Avoid

Most pathetic people working here. This is Claude Bosi and I dined at his sister restaurant. The office office of Claude Bosi which is the number this restaurant went to, won’t speak to me on my credit card being charged without my consent. I’ve literally never seen this type of behaviour in London or any top restaurant in the world for this matter. They just ghost you by phone and email. I’ve had to resort to complaining to the council and filing a small courts claim against Claude Bosi. It seems quite a scandal because there are just so many Google reviews where this has happened to other customers and this will be great evidence for when this goes to Claude’s lawyer. I look forward to it.

I made a booking at Claude’s new Josephine. There is no number to call to modify or cancel booking. They just took £100 off my card automatically when I have been trying to change my booking for the last 2 days. How can a restaurant not have a phone number? It’s daylight robbery and Claude should be ashamed.

Our family had an afternoon lunch and really enjoyed the uniqueness of the room with the stain glass features. The service was a little slow and the pacing of serving the courses could have been expedited. My daughter really enjoyed her experience however my husband was less enthusiastic about his. I personally found the vegetarian meal lovely. She loved the foie gras in an ice cream cone!

The Best Restaurant – truly the finest restaurants we have ever enjoyed. I’ve reviewed over 500 restaurants on Trip Advisor, and this is at the top of our list. Th quality of the food (presentation and taste) and service were truly remarkable. We had appetizers: shrimp & “duck jelly” – a brilliant presentation of caviar. For mains: we had the deer & beef – cooked perfectly. Dessert: chocolate souffle & English apple torte. When we return to London, we will dine there again.

Overall very good cuisine and service, wine list excellent… small details missing in service for two stars category

We had the 7 course New Year’s Eve menu with 6 wine pairings. We omitted the optional cheese course. Before we started on the Jerusalem Artichoke we had 6 amusement bouches in 3 servings, including the famous Bibendum egg. The artichoke, paired with a dry sherry, was followed by a Poached Gillardeau Oyster paired with a Swiss wine. The oyster was succulent. This was followed by a Mousseline of Dover Sole in a delicate champagne sauce paired with a 2007 Drapier Reserve Brut champagne which was excellent. We then had a Ravioli containing an egg yolk with white truffle and paired with an oaked Sonoma Chardonnay. The Ravioli was exquisite. The main course was Fallow Deer Rossini which was beautifully rare and tender. It was paired with a 2003 Languedoc - Roussilon which unfortunately had thrown and needed to be filtered. It was, however, an excellent wine. The palate cleanser was New Season Citrus and Chestnut and the desert an elaborately prepared Black Forest paired with a 2017 Valpolicella Classico which complemented it perfectly. We saw in the New Year with a complimentary glass of champagne. The service was smooth and attentive throughout without being obtrusive, and the Sommelier had a comprehensive knowledge of the wines. The tables are well spaced to maintain privacy and there was unobtrusive background music. Overall an excellent, if expensive, experience.

Great seafood lunches and dinners 🦪🦞🦦

When to celebrate my wife's birthday and was not disappointed. Entered via the oyster bar as I did not know they had one but the wait staff quickly showed me to the correct entrance where we were greeted by two of the friendliest people in London. The room was almost empty as it was a Monday but the decor was simple and elegant. We were shown the drinks menu and their wine encyclopedia (as the list was so huge it can't be called a list) which in my opinion is the only negative I found as I don't care how much you love wine it's impossible to select without the sommelier's help, but is choice was perfect. The food came out quickly and each item built on the last. We wanted to try the special roast chicken so the waiter suggested we get the 3 course as the chicken comes as 2 courses and 7 would not be a good option. Safe to say after the 3rd course we were all full and could bearly finish the chicken (but as it was so perfectly cooked we had to) the prawn starter and Cod were the stand out items for me but I will also say the venison was top tier and don't be put off by the black pudding as it was to die for (and I dislike black pudding normally) all in all a great meal and restaurant that I will visit again.

As always the food was fabulous, but the service was not as good as normal. The service lacked its usual finesse

An unusually impressive restaurant. As a double Michelin you know the food will be exceptional, and it is - amazing work M. Bosi. But it’s the entire team and service level (professional, friendly, knowledgeable and unpretentious) that makes this venue a stand out. Quirky deco surroundings, great and diverse wine cellar and cute nods to Michelin throughout. A wonderful, memorable and delicious evening. Highly recommend.

An extraordinary experience. Watching the kitchen hum is artistry in motion. Simply perfect.

Exceptional experience , delicious pheasant and cod - wine pairing perfect!

Delicious food, full of flavours and excellent presentation. Great service. The dining room was barely heated and the environment coincided with the cold that was felt. Either way, it's one of those restaurants that is worth it and you want to go back again.

This Michelin-starred restaurant, unfortunately, left the weakest impression on our culinary journey. Despite having experienced several 3-star establishments in the weeks prior, this one lacked personality and failed to deliver a memorable experience, especially considering its high price point. The atmosphere was the most striking aspect, and not in a good way. It felt incredibly stiff and overly managed, with a palpable tension in the air. While the manager may not necessarily be at fault, his strong personality seemed to intimidate the rest of the staff, creating an uncomfortable dynamic. There was a distinct lack of warmth and genuine hospitality, with the focus solely on getting the food out, rather than creating an enjoyable dining experience. To add to our disappointment, we encountered a misunderstanding regarding the menu and pricing, which led to an incorrect charge. While the manager initially offered a refund at the restaurant, they later denied the incident occurred when we followed up via email. This lack of accountability left a sour taste. If I could do it all over again, knowing the experience I went through, I would either stick to their Oyster Bar or simply allocate my 1,000 GBP elsewhere for a more fulfilling culinary experience. It's unfortunately not even something that I would aspire to try.

I would give 0 stars for service if possible. I’ve been to a number of Michelin starred restaurants - both 1 and 2 stars - and Claude Bosi is not nearly the caliber of those other restaurants. The food was fine. While it was definitely a nice meal, there was very little variety, everything was on the heavier / richer side, and the different courses didn’t seem to compliment each other very well or have a good flow. The last course, dessert, was honestly bad. It was little more than applesauce in a waxy white chocolate shell. However, what really ruined the experience for me was the service. As a 2 Michelin star restaurant I expect the service to be impeccable and personal. Claude Bosi failed to meet that expectation. We got the 7 course tasting menu, and waited 30ish minutes between the last 3 courses, at times feeling like we had been forgotten about. It was very difficult to get staff attention so we could order another glass of wine, or even just to get the check to cash out. When we were able to get the attention of the staff, they either forgot our requests and had to come back to be reminded or took 10-20 minutes to fulfill them. For what was supposed to be a delightful Christmas celebration that I was really excited about, I ended up regretful of our decision to come here, more excited to leave at the end of the meal than about the meal itself. Major disappointment. Would not recommend for those looking for a meal in this class, go somewhere else.

I really wish I could give this a higher rating. My husband and I love food and fine dining (and all dining really!) but this experience was pretty disappointing. My father gifted us a credit to go here as a Christmas/anniversary present, knowing our foodie tendencies. I was so excited hearing about his previous stellar experiences. Our dinner started out pretty well, the amuse bouches were very lovely and the staff were attentive. The first 5ish courses of our 7 course meal were served in about 1.2 hours, a pace that didn’t feel rushed but felt very attentive. The last courses stretched out over more than 2 hours. It was agonizing. We only got two glasses of wine each the whole dinner, so it wasn’t like we were caught up in wine and gossip. It was fairly difficult to even get a server’s attention. While the food was fine enough, nothing as incredible as vouched but still fair enough. However, the service was such that it felt almost personal in its disinterest. We had to ask for our check twice and it still took about a half hour just to get the check. This is one example of what felt pretty unreasonable at the price point Bibendum has. To specify, we were upstairs in the two Michelin star restaurant My family members have all had amazing experiences at other times, but I cannot say the same for mine. I can’t even compare this to the other Michelin star restaurants, and it still is disappointing compared to some “merely” very very nice restaurants I’ve been to. I wish I could say different.

Okay food quite expensive . Chairs are not the comfortable. The restaurant doesn’t look very clean.

I came to Bibendum not realizing it was a two star Michelin restaurant. Luckily I was wearing a shirt! I was in London for the Christmas holidays and we had booked something for lunch ... We visited it on a Sunday at lunch and took the Market Menu at 85 pounds, which was very good value for money. We selected one additional dish with black truffle, which fully met the expectations. The setting is iconic and every detail refers back to the original story of the building (the Michelin UK headquarters and tyre depot). The staff was top and managed some difficulties with external guests in a superb way. Not everybody going to a Michelin star restaurant is fit for it. I love the people who save money to pay for the gastronomic menu; I hate the people who go to a such a restaurant and think they have to shout. The Italian maître and sommelier did an excellent job, alongside the chefs in the ktichen.

It was my partner’s birthday and the staff made sure to make it a special occasion . We were invited to meet Claude himself and our every need was catered to. I have been to lots of Michelin restaurants but this was by far the stand out. An experience as it should be.

We went for the Tastes of the Season 3 course set menu and three of us had one of everything. There wasn't a bad dish amongst them.

The food is well presented and the service is really good, all waiters are very friendly and with the right dose of informality to make the experience a relaxed one. How we the food is fairly bland and lacks punch

As a couple who have lived in London for the past five years, we have made it our goal to experience the city’s finest dining establishments, particularly those recognized with Michelin stars. Having visited notable establishments such as Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester, Sketch, and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, as well as exploring hidden gems and local tastes, we approached our visit to Claude Bosi at Bibendum with high expectations, especially given its prestigious two-star rating. Unfortunately, the experience fell significantly short of what we consider to be a Michelin-worthy standard. The meal’s price-performance ratio was, frankly, unacceptable. We opted for the 5-course tasting menu but decided to replace two dishes with the restaurant’s signature chicken. However, this adjustment was poorly managed. Instead of replacing the selected dishes, the two courses were still included in the final bill along with the additional chicken, effectively charging us for two courses we did not consume. Such an oversight at a restaurant of this caliber is inexcusable and left a sour taste. While we are fortunate not to have financial constraints, paying a premium comes with an expectation of impeccable service, precision, and accountability—qualities sorely lacking here. For the price we paid, we could have dined at Alain Ducasse or Anne-Sophie Pic, both of which have consistently delivered extraordinary experiences worthy of their stars. In this case, however, the food at Bibendum was far from exceptional. While some dishes showed technical skill, the overall experience felt uninspired, lacking the wow factor and harmony one expects at this level. The signature chicken, despite its fame, was underwhelming and failed to justify the hype surrounding it. The overall experience was more akin to a one-star restaurant, with neither the creativity nor the attention to detail to merit a higher distinction. Service is often what sets two-star and three-star restaurants apart, and this is where Bibendum failed most notably. While the atmosphere of the historic Michelin House is undoubtedly charming, the service was inconsistent and impersonal. When Claude Bosi himself served the signature chicken, we were genuinely honored and requested a photo to commemorate the moment. He graciously promised to return for the photo, but this never happened. This small but significant interaction felt dismissive and unprofessional. As guests who value the artistry and hospitality of Michelin-starred chefs, this incident came across as arrogant and disrespectful. Dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant is about more than just food; it is about the overall experience—the attention to detail, the warmth of service, and the sense of occasion. Unfortunately, none of these elements were present. What should have been a celebratory Christmas experience felt transactional and uninspired, leaving us with a sense of regret rather than joy. Claude Bosi at Bibendum did not live up to its two-star rating. While the restaurant benefits from its illustrious location and chef’s reputation, the experience we had was far from the Michelin standard we have come to expect. The culinary creativity was lacking, the service fell short of any notion of excellence, and the price-performance ratio was abysmal. For us, a Michelin-starred restaurant is not just a meal but a story, a celebration of culinary artistry, and an experience worth remembering. Claude Bosi at Bibendum, unfortunately, provided none of these, and as such, we cannot recommend it as a two-star destination. For those seeking truly transformative dining experiences in London, we would suggest looking elsewhere—where your time, money, and palate will be treated with the respect they deserve.

Having lived in London for the past five years, we have explored nearly all Michelin-starred restaurants in the city, including Alain Ducasse, Sketch, and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. With this experience, we approached Claude Bosi at Bibendum expecting a meal reflective of its two-star status. Unfortunately, the experience failed to meet those standards. We selected a 5-course tasting menu, substituting two dishes with the signature chicken. Instead of accommodating this adjustment, the final bill reflected the full 5-course menu alongside the chicken, charging us for two courses we did not consume. Such errors are unacceptable at this level. While financial constraints are not a concern for us, paying premium prices demands precision and accountability, which were absent here. The food itself, while competent, was uninspiring and lacked the creativity and depth we’ve come to expect from Michelin-starred establishments. The signature chicken, though serviceable, did not live up to its reputation. Service was equally underwhelming. When Claude Bosi personally served the chicken, we felt honored and requested a photo, which he promised to take later but never returned. This dismissive attitude felt unprofessional and arrogant, detracting further from the experience. A two-star restaurant should deliver not just great food, but impeccable hospitality and a sense of occasion—none of which were present. Claude Bosi at Bibendum did not provide a two-star experience. Between the lackluster food, inattentive service, and poor value for money, it fell well short of expectations. For a true Michelin-standard experience, we would recommend seeking alternatives where culinary excellence and hospitality are taken seriously.

Spectacular service and the food was off the chart - congrats Claude Bosi

Fantastic restaurant, great service and outstanding food

Excellent lunch, beautiful space and attentive staff.

Superb highly refined food full of surprises served by an attentive and knowledgeable team, a truly sumptuous evening!

Delightful experience, amazing food served by wonderful staff. We loved it!

Exceptional in every way, food, service and atmosphere!

Trop de saveurs mélangées. Le produit se trouve un peu perdu.

So wonderful the food and the staff were amazing. Would go back in a heartbeat

Amazing and what you would expect: a gastronomic orgasm and refined service. Be prepared for a long dining experience and the premium prices

Fantastic experience; we had the five course tasting menu which was absolutely amazing. Faultless service from start to finish - with a nut allergy perfectly catered for (as you’d hope and expect!). Nice atmosphere. Luckily we’re not big drinkers as ordering wine by the glass is not cheap especially as they’re a 125ml pour. Would recommend for a special occasion.

Exceptional seasonal menu, and a perfectly seamless FOH team

Absolutely incredible dining experience. It is our favourite restaurant in London now. Elio and the rest of the team provide an unparalleled exceptional level of service that is both extremely professional and personal. Cannot recommend this highly enough!

Not our first visit but still cant help being blown away by the food and service.

Incredibly expensive lunch. £300 per head. Service was very good as was the food.

Excellent, beautiful, delicious food. Rather biased towards fish, only meat course was pheasant. Huge empty restaurant meant lacking in atmosphere. Strange as almost impossible to get a reservation.

Incredible culinary experience ! Outstanding service and the plates were such a delight ! Can’t recommend enough ! What a fantastic experience !

Fabulous building - really unique which gave a great ambience and environment. We started with drinks at the oyster bar - the service and quality levels were unmatched by any bar to date. The restaurant itself served the most delightful and intriguing flavour combination dishes, the staff were overwhelmingly attentive, knowledgeable and made our celebration experience all the more enjoyable. Cannot recommend this experience enough. Will visit again soon!

Phenomenal dining experience. Made my girlfriend’s birthday very special. From the small fine details, to the ‘wow’ moments from beginning to end was truly memorable. Thank you Claude Bosi and your incredible team for giving us an exceptional experience.

Great atmosphere and food of course.

A truly elevated experience. The dining room is elegant yet cozy. The windows are original and works of art. The service is exceptional. A professional team of experienced waiters. The food was like nothing I have experienced in a very long time. Pure perfection. Each dish was creative, delicious and perfect in every way. It was all perfectly coordinated and flowed beautifully. The meal will be the highlight of my time in London for sure.

Easily comparable to a Michelin 3 star. Food was outstanding, service was impeccable and the ambiance was first class . This is a restaurant that we will return to, again and again.

I was looking to host a peer to peer group in the little room upstairs, so I visited the venue with my kids and a friend a few weeks ago to see what it was like and we had lunch, overall, the venue suited our purpose. Hoping that we can host an event with them for a few hours a monrth, but they don't seem to call people back or reply to emails, which is a shame.

It's a pity that I can only give 5 stars. Everything was more than awesome from the food to the incredible service. Worth every penny.

I’m not sure many people attempt to dine with a two-year-old and a six-year-old, and I worried I’d miscalculated, but the staff and food were both superlative. Six-year-old was particularly thrilled by the chance to take a closer look at the kitchen. Class act all round. Thank you so very much for a memorable meal.

Lovely lunch. Enjoyed the market menu and wine. Great service

It's an experience, actually. If you're not on a tight budget and want to have a good time, it's worth it!

Concerning the Brasserie du RdC, incredible place, beautiful French brasserie spirit, focused on seafood. Efficient service.

I don’t believe you can experience better service or food anywhere

We popped in for a late lunch and chose 4 starters which we shared between us. The food was stunning, the service was attentive and we loved the decor and ambience.

I was there a few years ago!! I would say spectacular!! everything!! food service local environment.!! I highly recommend it and I hope to return soon!!

It was an excellent evening all round. The food was exceptional.

It was lovely presented, the service was amazing but the food itself was the a bit of a let down from what we expected from the restaurant and the cost itself. The amuse bouche, canapés, petit fours and desserts were lovely and tasty but the meat and fish dishes were little underwhelming for us compared to other Michelin/Rosette restaurants we didn’t get wowed by it, which was a shame.

Fabulous food, excellent service. I definitely recommend Claude Bosi for a special occasion.

That egg!!! The lobster was brilliant too. Beautiful food and impeccable service.

I would give more stars if I could to Bibendum. As the first stop on my partner and i’s Michelin food tour, they really set the standard that has been honestly unmatched so far. Every dish was so incredible and a complete amalgamation of technique, creativity, fresh produce and deliciousness. From the minute you walk in the door, the staff go above and beyond to take care of you and it really felt like a personally catered experience. Even the complimentary little starter as you arrive was simply divine, showing an attention to detail and a true passion and love for food and the dining experience. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone whether you’re a foodie or not. 20/10

A very disappointing experience. When making a reservation for lunch we were told only 12.30 was available. When we arrived we were told the lift to the restaurant could not be used as there is a problem with the insurance. When we did arrive, having walked up a steep staircase, there was no one in the restaurant and later only three other tables were filled during the entire time we were there. Service was condescending, unfriendly, unhelpful, and even surly, and the wait between courses was extremely long. When we asked what was in the market menu, we were told it was to be “a surprise” and we could/would not be told in advance what it would consist of so that made it difficult to order wine and difficult to know whether or not one wanted to order it. We did, and what a mistake! The food was overly precious and each course was preceded with a five paragraph description. The pepper mill did not work and was grudgingly removed. Courses and plates arrived on an oversized tray held by a non-white waiter and then removed by a white waiter to be served to us. The restaurant’s signature egg dish was undistinguished, there were no fresh vegetables, and the main course was tiny bright pink cake of veal. A fig tart for dessert was presented in a chocolate casing - the two flavors were not in any way complementary and a pastry case would have been more appropriate . All this made it a meal easy to and hard to forgive.

Everything was just okay, cold service.

Everything was perfect. The food was as good as expected with every course being memorable, the service was faultless. Just an unforgettable experience.

Beautiful food & drinks. Lovely celebration for friends bday. Couldn't fault anything.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had, service was so on point, friendly, attentive and an exquisite eye for detail in every level of service. Highly recommend.

Wonderful food and presentation. Impeccable service.

Amazing meal in a beautiful space. Service and flavors were perfect

Unfortunately, our experience did not meet expectations. Food was just about par, service was lacking, if given the opportunity we would not return.

Incredible food. Incredible service. Incredible ambiance. They were open on a Monday evening which is rare in London for a restaurant of caliber. I would highly suggest going, it will be a meal to remember.

Our experience at Claude Bosi at Bibendum was a delight. The attention to detail was outstanding from the design and presentation of the courses to the phenomenal combinations of flavors. The food was exceptional as was the staff who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, cared for and special. It was an anniversary dinner we will never forget. Thank you!

Fui a este restaurante histórico y pedí hamburguesa de camarón que era extremadamente delicioso y boca derretida. La comida y el servicio eran excelentes. A pesar de que estaba muy ocupado, la gerente se aseguró de que tuviera mi comida a tiempo. El servicio fue impecable. Ojalá pudiera recordar su nombre, pero no importa que sea en otro momento. Me gustaría visitar de nuevo. Gracias y vítores 👍🏻

We ate in Ground Floor Oyster Bar to celebrate our daughter's engagement. Lovely restaurant space. Light and airy with plenty of space between the tables. Service was immaculate. Food was excellent. Mainly seafood but other options available. Recommend.

A place for a special occasion. The creativity of the food, the attentiveness of the staff and the overall quality of the restaurant are all exceptional. Unless you are lucky enough to experience this level of dining regularly, one visit to Bibendum will live long nin your memory.

As incredible as always, unriveled anywhere in the world!

Michelin's first overseas headquarters. Except for the barbecue steak on the last weekend, everything was normal. It didn't feel like it had two Michelin stars. The beef soaked in champagne and then pan-fried was more delicious than the cooked steak. I said the steak was 5 minutes rare. But it was so raw that it felt like drinking blood and the steak was grilled very poorly.

Para empezar el personal es amable, atento y profesional pero amable. El menú es amplio. La falta de títulos y descripciones de lujo subestima la calidad de lo que preparan. La “ FishSoup” es una sopa de poisson tan buena como se podría contemplar acompañada de aloli y un queso rallado precioso. También como entrada estaba Tamara que era como una almohada cubierta con carne de cangrejo fresca. Mis mejillones “ Cornish” eran de la mejor calidad que había probado. Y mis amigos camarones con sus impresionantes, no - para no perderse patatas fritas fue excelente. Una encantadora carta de vinos para empezar. No te pierdas este tesoro de un restaurante de mariscos

Fantastic dinner, with some really surprising dishes. Service impeccable, decor very nice. Unmissable

There is no need to say much. One word says it all, the only way to describe the food is to say Excellent.

Service was great and staff were very kind. Food was well below what you’d expect in a two Michelin star. The cheese bread was nice but a bit reminded me of being hosted by friends who warmed something in the oven. The only dish that was amazing was the lobster dish. The añaloti dish was full of dill, you couldn’t taste any foie gras. The dessert was really bad, none of us liked the sauce or really understood the point of the dessert, one person did like the ice cream next to it. The plum cake/pastry wasn’t tasty at all. The bread and butter were quite good. But overall really missed a wow factor for such an expensive meal

My husband & I celebrated our second wedding anniversary at Claude Bosi at Bibendum and it was a magical experience. We loved the attention to detail, the attentiveness of all of the staff and their good humour. My husband had his first soufflé at the restaurant and he loved it! It is a must try if you go to this restaurant.
