Last time I came here with friends and the door was already opened but this time I was early so I had to figure how to get in the restaurant myself which was a mystery opening that door.

It turns out there is a camouflaged button on the door handle.

Anyway, on this visit, there were some new dishes on the menu so here were the dishes we had.

Les pomme boheme:
deep fried truffle mashed potatoes.

They were crispy filled with fluffy mashed potatoes and fragrant truffle in the middle.

是日同左一個空姐黎,感覺就係低俗喜劇Fiona 個種偽ABC。佢愛Yoga 而我愛Burger。我都很美式的,Espresso 加水 Americano 夠抵飲。

BIBO 每一個角落,每一個細節,都係用心。有時食物一兩次失手我覺得可以接受。沒有缺點的葡萄酒,總覺得欠缺趣味,反而是有缺點,不完美的葡萄酒才真正有趣。賤BOND 對任何東西抱有謙虛欣賞之心,明白缺點,將優點無限放大,賤BOND揀女伴亦同一準則。所以有時見到我既BOND 女郎,bro, dont judge by appearance. 賤BOND 睇既係大picture , total look。

當我有些閒錢的時候,我第一個想法便是入去BIBO 喝杯酒,撒泡尿,欣賞一下每個細節,盡情地享受這裡的氣氛。

The artwork inside this French restaurant is pretty damn awesome- one of the most famous art pieces being the giant Kaws sculpture that’s lurking in the middle of the dining space.
The menu had a ton of variation on classic French dishes but be warned it is expensive.

We ordered their signature starter- Le Pate En Croute HK$360 which is homemade terrine, foie gras from Les Landes with pistachio and pork belly. The portion was surprisingly big which actually made this dish TOO much. The pate was so much that it became a bit overbearing and too powerful.

We also ordered a bowl of their pan fried crayfish, mixed vegetables and lobster bisque for HK$340. I was a bit disappointed by how small the portion was and also the lobster bisque was way too salty. The broth was very rich but think it definitely had too much salt in it.

Last but not least was the petit fours! I have to say I think I had way too high expectations for Bibo…so it was a bit underwhelming. Overall, Bibo definitely had a mix of hits and misses for me. The price was also quite high. I did love the vibe, company and cocktails though!

With all the positive reviews, I was expecting a really fine meal but it turned out quite the opposite.  Service was good and deco was interesting. But the food quality was reallyyyy just mediocore.... 

For starters, we had lobster bisque, 50gram cavier and pate. For the main, the two of us shared the cote de beouf which I had to say the quality was really disappointing. The beef itself costed $1790 which was definitely not worth the value....... And we wrapped up the night with a fresh berries dessert.

The total bill came to $4862....... the champagne and wine cost around $900 which I think was ok.  But the food.... I've been to other michilin starred restaurants in town and I have to say Bibo's standard is not even closed. If they are charging michilin price, I would expect top notch food quality.  

Oh I nearly forgot to mention the restaurant receptionist called me after we were seated asking if we would show up or not.... 

Overall, I think no harm to chill out at Bibo with a few drinks but definitely not the food. It's just insanely over priced.

I loved the Bibo concept of putting art and food together. The nice art works of the Invader, KAWS, D*Face and other great artists made me feel like being in an art gallery and how wonderful it was to dine in such a nice place! Funky yet edgy! But as a restaurant, in the end, it was the food that matters.
The chef totally WOW-ed me! Champagne was served in nice silverware and they had really nice crystal wine glasses. No doubt they also used the finest ingredients in their cuisine. I had 4 dishes on that evening: Le Tartare, Coquillettes with Alba Truffle, Le Cavier and Le Coucou de Rennes. My favourite ones were Le Tartare  (beef) and Le Coucou de Rennes (chicken). The steak tartare was so nice and it just melted in my mouth! The charcoal-grilled Le Coucou de Rennes was so juicy and tender! A nice apple sorbet dessert, La Pomme, and chocolate were served at last which added a wonderful final note to the whole meal.
The services was also one of the highlights of the restaurant. The Bibo team were always helpful and friendly. They were very attentive to customers' needs and explained the art works in details. Merci, totally appreciated it!
There had never been such a nice modern French fine dining restaurant in Hong Kong before and the whole dining experience in BIBO was PARFAIT. I will definitely come back again.

Bibo has been on my radar since it opened up, but I never really found the impetus to go there. It's always seemed rather strange to me with the large, rotating art displays, fake train station exterior, and for a while a seemingly unnecessary number of doorpeople. Though admittedly, they probably had to pay people to stand out front because it doesn't look like a restaurant from the street you can enter it on (i.e. Hollywood). The price of art is indeed steep.We came here "for Valentine's day",

Bibo has been on my radar since it opened up, but I never really found the impetus to go there. It's always seemed rather strange to me with the large, rotating art displays, fake train station exterior, and for a while a seemingly unnecessary number of doorpeople. Though admittedly, they probably had to pay people to stand out front because it doesn't look like a restaurant from the street you can enter it on (i.e. Hollywood). The price of art is indeed steep.

We came here "for Valentine's day", though not on that day, because dining on that day is ridiculous, even in HK where it's less popular/ commercialized than where I'm from. That was the impetus I needed.

You can order a la carte at Bibo, but online there are three tasting menus posted, Le Menu Trouffe Noire $1,388, Le Menu Gourmand $900, and Le Menu Plaisir $1,200. When we showed up, the menu we were handed had only the latter two tasting menus on it, so if you're obsessed with truffles, I can't for 100% sure say they have them, so call ahead, you mushroom-pig you.

We each got Le Menu Gourmand, with a pairing of 4 wines for a total of $900 + $550 = $1,450 each. Not pocket change that's for sure. At three points in the menu there's a choice, and they let you as a party of two pick both and split them. So you wind up getting to try a lot of things.

The amuse bouche was carrot puree with mushrooms and one particular herb. I want to say oregano, but I can't really recall. It was pretty tame. The mushrooms weren't super-rich, the carrot wasn't super sweet, it was a subdued dish. OK.
L'Oeuf Mayo

First course was L'Oeuf Mayo, "slow cooked organic Taiyouran egg, homemade mayo." From wavespacific.com, a Hong Kong supplier of Taiyouran eggs, we find that

"Taiyouran Japanese eggs have a natural sweetness and rich, thick orange yolk. Chickens are reared on a special diet of Stevia leaves, a natural herb which is 300 times sweeter than sugar."

Wikipedia says Stevia leaves are "up to" 150 times sweeter than sugar, so somebody's fudging here. Anyway, I'm not entirely sure what those numbers mean. It looks like a taste thing, because Stevia leaves "have a negligible effect on blood glucose" (Wikipedia again). But how attuned are chickens to that taste, and does that even matter? If you feed chickens artificial sweeteners, do their eggs become sweeter? By what mechanism?

Anyway, the egg is fine. Runny and orange-ish with a ring of tangy yellow mayo and some crispy bread bits. I wish I had not eaten the pre-dinner bread, but instead saved it for this dish. Although there was of course more bread to be had, I didn't want to fill up on the first course.
Le Presse de Foie Gras

Next came the foie gras "homemade terrine of foie gras, orange brioche." Here on the menu you have a choice between this and the raviolis, but since we were two, we got both. This is terrine, so really dense and rich, and personally, though I only had half the amount pictured, it was way more foie gras than I wanted to eat at one sitting.

Not more than I'd ever eaten at one sitting, of course, because sometimes there's just a pile of foie gras that needs to be eaten and you're the one called upon to do it, but still, I apologize for being insufficiently French. Apres foie, le deluge. Sorry, that's probably not even funny.

My wife believes that sugary bread is what's supposed to accompany foie gras, and I won't say that's wrong. I'm not saying the empereror has no clothes, just that his clothes are 300x sweeter than normal clothes. I guess what I mean by that is that really, I wish I had saved the original sourdough bread on the table, which was fantastic and sour, for the foie gras as well.

Les Ravioles - "mushroom duxelle, lobster, shaved cauliflower, confit potatoes, and foie gras sauce." The shaved cauliflower was mostly a garnish. The confit potatoes were a short cylinder of crispy fried potato, with nothing of the flavor the word "confit" typically incites within me. I liked the ravioli though. They had good, al dente wrappers and a nice flavor. They were fair enough.

"Slow cooked Sagabuta pork, confit turnip, maple syrup, star anise and apple jelly."

Again, it's not like Bibo lists their distributor on their webpage, but after googling "Taiyouran egg" and getting wavespacific.com as a top hit, and a HK distributor, I googled "Sagabuta pork" and got the same thing. Let's hear the product description:

"Our Japanese pork is a cross-breed of Duroc, Yorkshire and Danish Landrace pigs, raised in the mountains of Kinboshi, Japan. In this picturesque environment, pigs can pursue natural behaviours and gain weight naturally without hormones or GMO-feed."

Wikipedia doesn't even have a page on this, so who knows. I do know, without intending to look it up, that "Duroc" sounds like a scary kind of pig-monster.

Anyway, the pork was fine, if a little plain. Not super fatty, so good on that front. "Deliciously marbled," says someone at TripAdvisor. One of the sauces, the star anise one, we were particularly fond of. Again the "confit" turnip was just fried turnip. Not knocking it, but that's what it was.

"Pan-fried lamb fillet, puy lentils, baby carrot, and calvados." Puy lentils, which I did not know, are peppery green French lentils. Calvados is an apple brandy. I was a fan of the lamb. I thought it was reasonably tender and meaty. They asked us how we wanted it and I asked the chef to decide, that being the clearly most sensible option, when the chef knows more about food than I do. Which is almost always.

First dessert was a pile of cheese. I ate some of it. Middle one was favorite; stinky bleu one was only mildly stinky and mildly chemical-tasting, but I have a chronic case of Americanitis and unfortunately, it's not for me. The other thing was a thing, not too exciting.

Thousand-fold thin chocolate pancake: tastes like cardboard. I'm not even trying to be facetious.

They do indeed serve food here, and none of it is bad. None of it really impressed me either. I probably insufficiently appreciated the plating or whatever, but art pays its way in aesthetic plaisir, if I may borrow a phrase from the menu, and there was only a limited amount of that on offer.

I guess there's art in the building. There was a motorbike with Chinese characters written on it. Under normal circumstances I wish I read Chinese, but I'm sure I'd rather do without the artist's message. The object seemed designed to have overdressed people sit on it and take their picture, somehow like the reverse of this object I encountered in Pingyao:

It's a rickshaw you sit in and take tourist photos in. Hard to feel like all the Frenchiness and art wasn't just there to provide a space for people to take pictures of themselves inhabiting that space. The selfie-density-per-second was definitely on a par with, say, Amah Rock. Bibo was like a disco with everyone's camera flashes going off rhythmically. Hey, good on them that they're doing well, and great for them that they can charge $1500 a head, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Once inside we were greeted by the receptionist, as well as some nice decors before we were shown downstairs to the dining area. Famous for its decorations, the whole atmosphere is relaxing and joyful, contrasting with many traditional French restaurants which could be a bit too serious and stiff. There are mosaics of the TV game characters, a huge wooden cartoon figure, a scooter with the calligraphy of the famous 'King of Kowloon' Tsang, to name just a few.

Seated at a table looking out the window to the Ladder Street, it is another piece of art by itself, with the busy people walking up and down the steps. The table arrangement was a bit crowded, especially if you want to have some private conversations without being overheard. Considering the high rental in this neighborhood, however, it may be something unavoidable. Still the chair and table size is fairly comfortable for me.

Regarding the food, each of us ordered a different tasting menu, with Ivy on the 5-course Le Menu Gourmand and myself on the 7-course Le Menu Plasir with wine pairing. The amuse-bouche was a sweet corn puree with Japanese mushroom. Nothing fancy yet a tasty appetizer, it highlighted the chef's style of using edible flowers, which could be found in many of the coming dishes too.

Because we had different dishes, I would focus on the ones I had in this review. The first course was a pan-fried red tuna with puffed rice, eggplant caviar and green salad, pairing with a Provence rose. The slightly crispy crust outside provided a good contrast with the tender tuna inside, perfectly cooked and red in the core. The rose also brought up the freshness and vibrancy, certainly creating the excellent start for the dinner.

The second course was an avocado salad, with king crab, potato julienne and lemon dressing, pairing with a Bordeaux white. A signature combination of avocado and crab, the taste was good but my issue with this dish was on the texture. With the avocado made to a puree, it was watery to such an extent that the dish would better be served with a spoon. Not sure whether this was the intention of the chef, but with the wine further bringing up the crab fat flavor, the dish could easily have a very polarizing effect for diners.

The third course was a chestnut soup, with celeriac leaves, chestnut dices and foie gras shavings. It was a very rich soup with good chestnut flavors, accompanying well with the savory of the bacon pieces and foie gras. The chestnut dices also added a crunchy mouthfeel to this delicious dish. On the wine, the full-bodied Alsace Gewurztraminer provided the right weight and sweetness for the pairing.

Next was the pan-fried Hokkaido scallops with kumquat cream, Espelette chili and marinated ginger and chine, with an Alsace Riesling to pair. Nicely seared scallops with foam made from lobster bisque (I believe!) sprinkled with the finely chopped ginger and chine, the sour kumquat cream getting the bite to bring out flavors of the scallops. Another nicely prepared dish on the night, with the acidity of the wine complemented the kumquat beautifully.

For the main course I had picked the slow-cooked then pan-fried French pigeon stuffed with foie gras, plus crushed potatoes and pigeon jus. It was of small portion but wonderfully prepared, the dish presented quite a different tone with the other dishes so far. The meat was very tender and juicy, and pairing with the Languedoc St-Chinian red giving the ripe fruitiness and gamey flavors to bring the pigeon to another whole new level.

The pre-dessert was raspberry on hibiscus jelly, a nice dessert by itself and also serving to clean up the palate for the coming dessert, the matcha souffle with azuki ice-cream, pairing with a late harvest Jurancon. This unfortunately was not properly paired in my opinion. Despite the dessert was perfectly formed and the azuki ice-cream made to the right sweetness, the wine simply was not sweet enough to match, and mixing with the matcha flavors it was a bit weird.

On the whole the service was excellent, starting from the receptionist taking our coats before showing us to the table, to the maitre d' checking in with us on the food and everything, A good balance in the attentiveness without overly intruding our dinner. I was particularly impressed with the sommelier, with his diligence in introducing the wines and the characters, how it enhanced and complemented the food. And all the wines were also from France.
Finally for the price, the bill totaled $3,212 and considering the quality of the food, the restaurant design and good services, I would say it was money well spent. If you are taking someone to a French restaurant, and want to have a more relaxed environment, less formal in the setting, Bibo is certainly one of my recommendations.
My overall rating for the restaurant is 83/100.

My friend and I had an inpromptu lunch at Bibo today. It was my first time at this stylish restaurant that combines amazing artwork with unpretentious fine dining and I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with the service as well as the quality, taste and presentation of the food.

Being a little pressed for time, w eopted for the set lunch and while we contemplated the menu, we were treated to a delucious palate cleanser that appesred to be a velvety cauliflower cream in a delightful presentation featuring delicate edible blossoms.

For starters, we chose "Le Veloute", a comforting,light but creamy soup of chestnut, diced celeriac, carrots, croutons and chestnut flakes

Our main course was "Le Cochon", two succulent pieces of slow-cooked Japanese pork belly that was of perfect texture and very flavourful. It was accomoanied by luscious truffle mashed potatoes, a few tender pan-fried baby artichoke pieces and leaves of sucrine and endive. Absolutely wonderful.

My friend had an amazing looking Pink Lady Apple on Puff Pastry and my order of L'assiette de Fromages,which offered three different cheeses with perfectly complimenting fruit pastes, and a double expresso were the perfect ending to a perfect lunch.

I will definitely come again!

今年我的生日飯選擇了在這間藝術色彩的餐廳,那些裝修佈局我好喜歡,而且裏邊播着的音樂可以蓋過我們的嘈吵聲音,到了約定的時間我們一行十個女子陸陸續續分批到達,全都不懂得開餐廳的門,真的很好笑,說到食物質素,頭盤 吃的白松露蛋,松露沒什麼香味的,蛋又是凍了的,有點兒失望,其他東西也不過不失,但以這個價錢,吃這個質素,有點小貴,另外這裏放相片最多只能12張,所以還有其他食物登不了出來,希望遲點會有改善。

Fine dining has often been compared to contemporary art, food displayed immaculately on a plate that is often (almost) too beautiful to eat. I've eaten in restaurants where the Chef could only be described as an artist, and I'm sure you have too. I've even had beautiful food in Australia's GOMA (Gallery of Modern Art), where the award winning GOMA restaurant produces food that would be better placed on the walls of the gallery. I'd never been to a restaurant that would be more appropriately called a gallery of contemporary modern art, that was until I visited Bibo.

In a sign that bohemia is alive and well in Sheung Wan, Bibo is quite unlike any restaurant you are likely to encounter, at least in this part of the world. Bibo is short for 'bilingual bohemian' and is a mix of contemporary art and fine dining French restaurant. Reminiscent of the speak-easy style of New York, the entrance to Bibo is a secret gold door on Hollywood Road and while you don't need a secret password to enter, you do need to get past the burly bouncer on the door. Once the Star Trek like sliding door opens, you descend steps that hint of what's to come.

An assault to the visual senses is probably the best way to describe those first few seconds in the restaurant, which was quite breathtaking. Every spare inch of space in Bibo is taken up with contemporary art, visually stunning, it's not until you hear the story of some of the pieces that you understand the importance of Bibo - more on that later.

Seated at our table, we simply stared in muted awe at the stunning pieces that were plastered on every wall. Our reverie was interrupted by our waiter for the night, Justin, to present our menus and give a running commentary on the options available, which included three tasting menus and an a la carte selection. With each variation of the tasting menu explained, we decided to go for broke and opted for the seven course option - which was a pricey $1,300 but also included a number of the signature dishes of Bibo.

Contemporary French fine dining, the menu at Bibo is the construct of a culinary team lead by Executive Chef Mutaro Balde. With a background that included Alain Ducasse at the Plaza Athenee in Paris and L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon in London, Chef Mataro was well versed at producing exquisite French fine dining. A quick look at the menu reflected a background that held a handful of Michelin Stars and was full of promise.

While we waited for our gastronomic journey to begin, we were provided with some fresh, warm crusty bread, our amuse bouche and SC's cocktail - a punchy concoction called 'canton bazaar'. While the bread was lovely, I did wonder at the rational of sending out so much before we'd even commenced our tasting menu. It would come back to haunt us towards the end of the meal!

Our amuse bouche consisted of green pea puree with a parmesan foam and a slice of watermelon covered with tomato and balsamic. While I loved the flavours of the pea puree combined with the parmesan, I found the puree to be a little grainy, or more accurately, the aerated parmesan foam combined with the puree to be grainy. I was also a little perplexed by the watermelon and balsamic - sure they were a great combination on their own but how did the two components of the amuse bouche fit together?

My slight hesitancy about the amuse bouche was soon well forgotten when the first of our seven courses arrived at the table. It was hard to miss the L'oursin: Hokkaido sea urchin with Royale Street bear caviar as it made its way from the kitchen. Immaculately presented, the dish was spectacular in it's clear bowl with dry ice producing a dramatic effect that lasted the entire course. A generous amount of caviar sat atop a dual level puree and was finished off with the bright yellow/orange of the sea urchin. The saltiness of the urchin combined with the sweet caviar so very well and the puree, which I couldn't quite put my finger on, helped round out the dish as interesting and delicious.

We had an option for our second course and we both decided on the La Langoustine: seared scampi with green pea puree and truffle emulsion. Simply presented and not as spectacular as our previous dish, there was a quiet refinement that almost seemed out of place in our surroundings. Another generous helping, the expertly cooked flesh was unusually sweet for scampi, which can at times be bland. The subtle hints of truffle worked very well with the pea puree, which seemed much creamier than the puree in our amuse bouche. My only minor issue with the dish was the use of a bowl that made it hard to get to the dish well enough, especially given there was no spoon to mop up the tasty puree.

There has been a lot of press about foie gras of late and, regardless of the politics of the French delicacy, we'd chosen the Le foie gras poele: pan seared duck foie gras with braised endive and a hazelnut vinaigrette. While not as amazing as our foie gras dish at Vasco Fine Dining, it was none-the-less a beautifully presented and scrumptious. The richness of the foie gras was well balanced with the slightly bitter endive, with the hazelnut vinaigrette giving acidity and texture. With a now recurrent theme, the serving size was generous and perhaps a little large for a tasting menu. We were starting to feel the effects of our crusty bread and large serving sizes.

The Le Saint Pierre: line caught John Dory with carrots, rhubarb masala mashed potatoes was next up and was, you guessed it, quite a large serving with two fillets of Dory. I've always been partial to John Dory and normally have it cooked on the bone as a whole fish, which preserves the moisture. It was noticeable that one of my fillets was over cooked and a little dry, which killed a little of the flavour that Dory is so famous for. My second piece was perfectly cooked, and the sweet yet strong fish flavour shone through and was much more enjoyable. While I had a little taste of the mashed potatoes and found them to be OK, I'd had to leave them on the plate as I was starting to get rather full.

SC and I deviated in our next selection with my choice of the Le Pigeon: Burgundy pigeon with crushed ratte potatoes, black truffle and pigeon jus was a clear winner. With clear inspiration from his time at L'Atelier, Chef Mutaro had stuffed the pigeon with foie gras - which admittedly is a fantastic combination. The breast was panfried, which gave the breast a lovely colouring, with the gamey pigeon flavour blending with the creamy foie gras wonderfully. The leg was confit, and while tasty, didn't fall off the bone as it should have.

I really didn't care for SC's Le Cochon: 36 hour Sagabuta pork belly with butternut squash, green apple and yuzu kushu, for a number of reasons. Firstly, I hate butternut squash, but mostly because the pork belly didn't really taste that great. It was more like a ham than pork belly, with a pink colouring that was a little off-putting. SC thought it was OK, but with such a large serving, she had no way of getting through the meal.

There was no other way of putting it, we were completely stuffed, which very rarely happens. We still had dessert to go, but sensing we were not ready for sweets just yet, our intrepid waiter Justin offered to give us a tour of the premises and art work. SC is more of an artist that myself, and while I really loved the street art pieces by Vhils, Invader, JonOne and Banksy, SC was very much taken by the Jean-Micel Basquiat and Daimen Hirst pieces.

A good walk around the gallery/restaurant was not only inspirational, it had settled our stomachs well enough that we could face dessert! But of course there was a pre dessert teaser and the coconut soft service sorbet with crushed cookies and banana was good enough to have me really looking forward to the final course.

Whenever I visit a French restaurant, I look for a soufflé and was super happy to see the Le Soufflé au Citron: Lemon Soufflé with rosemary sorbet. Simply presented in a black ramekin, the soufflé had risen nicely and was expertly cooked. Thankfully, it was just the right level of sweetness and while the lemon flavour was not as strong as I'd liked, it was still delightful. The rosemary sorbet came wrapped in a tuile with the ubiquitous gold leaf present - it was a very decent finish to my meal.

As with the pork belly, SC made a tactical error with dessert and ordered the Le Fromage: a selection of French cheeses from the renowned Antony family (never heard of them!). There were two cheeses, a firm and creamy cheddar that was nice and a mild blue, but the blue was a huge serving for a cheese course. We think the main issue was the lack of accompaniments, and the cheese only came with some toasted bread. Perhaps some fig jam and grapes would have helped cut through the flavour of the blue.

It had been a marathon of a meal, which concluded with a lovely petite four of chocolate on a blood red plate, but to be honest, there had been way too much food. It's rare that a restaurant is so generous with their serving sizes that you can't eat the meal comfortably, but this was one of those times. There is a bit of a covenant when ordering a tasting menu, an understanding that the portion sizes will be smaller and the meal manageable, and in this instance Bibo broke that covenant.

I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy the meal and the experience, far from it in fact, I really loved the experience and while it might seem that I have been a little picky, it's only because of the price. Reduce this meal in portion sizes, reduce the cost to (even) $1000, and I would have been much happier. Of course, Bibo delivers on many levels, not just feasting of the palate, but feasting of the soul with incredible art and we decided that the prices probably include a little bit of upkeep for the gallery.

While Bibo doesn't have any Michelin Stars, yet, it will surely only be a matter of time. Currently one of the few restaurants in Hong Kong that are part of the very prestigious Relias & Chateaux, Bibo presents a very unique experience that combines the visual arts of haute cuisine and contemporary art. It's a place that very much resonated with us both and was an experience we won't soon forget.
