Claude Bosi at Bibendum London - Buy Reservations

Tried to had lunch at this restaurant last weekend. As we didn’t have a reservation, my husband and I were offered a table and told we had an hour and half to have lunch. We ordered a starter, which was tasty, and then waited over an hour for our main course (so they didn’t need our table after all). We noticed the kitchen outside could not keep up with orders! Finally, after a long hour wait, our main course arrived, but my fish was raw and it wasn’t sushi! We stood up and left! When I mentioned what had happened to the manager outside, he told me that my fish wasn’t raw! Arrogant attitude and not the way you treat customers! Not a single apology! This place is stuck up and a complete disaster! Do not recommend it to anyone!

This restaurant is absolutely superb. The staff are the best I have ever known in making sure you have a luxurious yet comfortable and unpretentious meal. The setting itself is beautiful - elegant, yet also comfortable. The food is world class both in execution. I adored absolutely everything. Highlights for me were the foie gras with truffles and the heavenly cheeseboard. The rabbit my partner ordered was a work of art in terms of tenderness and flavour. The Bibendum egg was interesting and nice to have tried. For a special occasion I think you are hard pressed to find a more romantic and impactful restaurant anywhere in London at the moment.

I’ve marked this restaurant so brutally because I feel I’ve ultimately been conned. I spent £1300 on dinner for two. He is ringing as much money out of diners as possible. I have never seen so many supplements on a menu which contains so little alternatives. The cooking is skilled but by no means earth shattering. I strongly advise you to go elsewhere. I feel we were ripped off.

We decided to return to Claude Bosi for a birthday lunch. The lunch menu is £105 per person as well as this we had two coffees two half bottles of Cote du Rhone, one-half bottle of white wine, and two dry Martinis. The bill including service came to just under £360 of which a little over £130 was for drink. So far so good, it was a celebration and restaurants tend to make their money on alcoholic drinks. Then we come to the food. On the set lunch menu a number of the dishes have a £25 supplement. There are three possibilities for the main course one had a £25 supplement, the other I had eaten on my last visit, and was delicious which left the cod. When the cod arrived it was next to a swirl of potato and on the side there was a small block of herbs with a small quantity of sauce poured on top of it. I think that something must have happened at this restaurant and that the kitchen has forgotten that people go to a restaurant with the idea of being fed. To leave a restaurant hungry is very upsetting and I feel that maybe this is going to be the last £360 they will ever get from me. Who ever heard of a Michelin-starred restaurant serving but three main courses? Was I really expected to order the cheese course for an extra £25 in order to make up for the inadequacy of the main course? Has this restaurant forgotten that it is in the hospitality business? It's all very well that the staff on the floor of the restaurant are probably the nicest and most helpful in Britain, it is the portion control and the number of menu options that need urgent consideration, and a determination to actually feed all their customers. Goodness knows, they charge enough!

The setting was incredible in such a beautiful room, with a view into the kitchen. And service was impeccable from start to finish as expected. Most of the food was good - but the tasting menu we experienced featured mostly soft foods which you barely needed a knife and fork for - it became a bit monotonous after a while with only one meat dish. The rest was super soft foams and mousses and soups and jellys. The wasabi risotto was probably the worst dish on the menu as it was like eating a mouth of mushy mustard. A bit more texture across all courses would be appreciated. The best dish was probably the scallop and elderflower. It was worth the price for the experience but I wouldn't say it was the most memorable or best dishes though everything was presented beautifully.

I recently visited Claude Bosi for lunch and was extremely impressed with the flavours and technique on show. The meal was more or less perfect from start to end. Of particular note was the caprese course which was served with a chilled consommé, everything complimented each other perfectly. Chocolate soufflé also had great flavour and was served with a lovely vanilla ice cream. Great cheese selection, which I was glad to see was European, as all too many restaurants now only serve British cheese. Even the petit fours were delightful, which includes some great flavoured chocolates. Service was attentive, professional and very friendly. The dining room is particularly beautiful during the day with the sunlight shining through the stained glass windows. All in all, Claude Bosi is a more or less faultless dining experience. I firmly believe the restaurant should receive three Michelin stars in the next guide as the food being served here is of a higher standard than most three star restaurants in the country. The team here work extremely hard and it shows. I look forward to returning soon. A must visit while in London.

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.

We went for lunch, a great way to experience the space and the food. The lunch menu is fewer courses than dinner, and the light filled atrium and the classic stained glass windows are terrific with some sun. The food was superb, especially the monkfish. Well worth the cost.
