Bibendum sits on the first floor of the historic art deco building which was built as Michelin’s London HQ in 1911; its handsome interior cannot fail to impress, with the iconic stained glass windows allowing light to flood in – a fact best appreciated at lunch. Claude Bosi’s cooking shows a man proud of his French heritage and confident of his abilities. His dishes are poised and well-balanced with bold, assured flavours and some creative combinations. If you spot a soufflé on the menu, get excited, particularly if it’s of the chocolate variety.
