Highly creative food great to see the main man at the pass. Service very good. Atmosphere good. Wine list a little disappointing. Overall value is reasonable.
Visited December 2012Solid food in the beautiful Michelin building in South Kensington. We had the 3-course set lunch menu, which I found was a good value for the quality of food offered. There were also enough dishes to select from for each course. However food somehow wasn’t intriguing enough to make me want to go back.. Service was good though. Definitely worth visit, alone for the venue. Oyster bar downstairs. sweervywine.com
Bibendum at the Michelin House in Chelsea serves very good fine dining European food….I went there for a meal some time ago, maybe their menu has changed since then…. Try their steak au poivre which is always on the menu.
I’ve been meaning to go here for years and finally did it today after a hard stint in the gym. The iconic building is beautiful, such a stylish and unusual design. The ground floor is a casual oyster bar – didn’t look very comfy with stone floor so I went upstairs to the smarter restaurant.It has a lovely ambience with smart clientele. It’s bright and has lots of Michelin man figures, prints on the wall and stained glass.I had six oysters for starter followed by the sea bass which came with gnocchi and a bed of marinated peppers. Had sprouting broccoli as a side. All very tasty.The wine list is awesome- they have a magical contraption which looks like a bottle opener which extracts wine from an unopened bottle through a thin wire- it enables you to have just a glass of really expensive wine. I had Pomerol, a bottle of which would be 300!Service was immaculate and attentive, the sommelier was very knowledgeable.I’m really glad I finally went, most recommendable.
A polished affair. I took my parents there for their anniversary and it was the perfect place. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted and treated with charm and professionalism.We were offered Table 1 (usually reserved for celebs and regulars) and immediately offered an aperitif before handed menus.The extensive menu (over 10 starters and 10 mains) had pretty much something for everyone – some inventive dishes and a few classics. It’s not cheap but it was a special occasion and portions are generous.The wine list is also extensive to the point of ridiculous but not unappreciated. We opted for a reasonably priced red Rhone.I ordered the Pied de Porc Pane on a bed of mash as a starter and the Sea Bass with Nero Linguini as a main.My parents had the grilled Langoustine (mum) and salad of Salad Paysanne with fried calves brains (dad) as starters, and the breadcrumbed Veal with Fontina cheese and proscuitto (mum) and ribeye beef with bernaise sauce (dad).We all tried each other’s dishes (except the calves brain, I just can’t eat that!) – we love to share – and it was all excellent. My Pied de Porc was delicious if a tiny bit rich, the langoustines sweet and fresh.My sea bass was perfectly cooked, with a creamy sauce. The veal was tender, very slightly over salted but this was probably the proscuitto and cheese, and there wasn’t a crumb left.The service was slick, unobtrusive and helpful when needed.Too full for dessert, we called it a night but perfectly sated and happy all round.
Bibendum must have one of the largest wine lists in the city! That coupled with the splendid French menu makes this is one of my favourite restaurants.
