Bibendum Restaurant
Michelin House, 81 Fulham Road, London, SW3 6RD
Bibendum has set high standards on London's gastronomic and architectural map. Opened in 1987 in the former Headquarters of the Michelin Tyre Company, a splendid art deco masterpiece, Bibendum introduced an attitude towards food that has been at the forefront of the growth and creativity of new restaurants in the capital. Dishes, in the main, are simple, generous and use only the very best of seasonal ingredients. With an approach to its menu that was inspired by the original Head Chef, Simon Hopkinson, now one of the co-owners, it has come to occupy a special position among the many splendid restaurants in London that bring their customers back time and again - though it is by no means a cheap place.Bibendum has set high standards on London's gastronomic and architectural map.

The cooking could best be described as 'upmarket bistro' brought thoroughly up to date, from the seemingly mundane like haddock in batter with chips and tartare sauce to the more sophisticated Bibendum's classic roast chicken with tarragon, and wonderful desserts like griottine financier with kirsch sabayon.
The wine list is described in The Good Food Guide as 'a dream in terms of depth, scope and clarity'. This was recognised in 2003 when Bibendum landed the Most Exceptional Restaurant Wine List title given by Tio Pepe Carlton London Restaurant Awards.

REVIEWS OF Bibendum Restaurant
Brian Heffernan (17 February 2007)
A week later and my wife is still talking about the delicious food we ate. Service was friendly and unobtrusive. I cannot fault Bibendum. A superb meal.
Mark (22 January 2006)
Service excellent (almost worth the outrageous and wholly disagreeable service charge), wines excellent, starters and puddings excellent. Main courses a bit drab and uninteresting. WARNING! Don’t have the chicken for 2 main course (Poulet de Bresse à l'estragon) - well below average. Very tough, dry, and uninspiring. Half a roast chicken with a tablespoon of stock poured over it...twice! The dishes could do with a bit more creativity. Didn’t live up to the expectation as we had hoped.

Chutney Mary in the Kings Road, Chelsea, started out life in 1990 and has never looked back. Perhaps this is a comment on the British attitudes to Indian cuisine, and curry in particular, for when ...
