This world famous restaurant was started by French Chef Claude Bosi and his wife Claire. However, this London restaurant does not have French overtones and rather has a menu inspired by British culinary fare. The menu of this restaurant is supervised by head chef Marcus Mc Guinness, who has come from Paris to serve here.
Do expect a surprise treat of 4, 6, or 8 courses on Friday and Saturday. The interiors of this place are a notch behind contemporary times and youâll find gray chairs, wood paneled rooms and the domination of a large chandelier. On your entrance, you are served champagne and light snacks.
Where is it?
The Bosiâs started the Hibiscus Restaurant in the town of Ludlow. It was opened in the UK in 2001 and tasted success almost immediately. The first feather on its cap was when it was awarded the first Michelin Star in 2001 and after three years, the second Michelin Star. It is now relocated on the busy streets of Londonâs Mayfair and adorned with Michelin stars.
What makes it the best?
What makes this restaurant world class is the excellent service it provides. The staff members are thorough professionals and their service is faultless. Though you could say that they are friendly, they wouldnât be categorized as obtrusive. Visit this restaurant to have the ultimate dining experience and savor the rich culinary flavors especially prepared to tickle your taste buds.
Bosi and his team are dedicated in delivering the best culinary fare to your table. Every plate is prepared and crafted with absolute perfection and with the application of flawless techniques. The kitchen is the experiment ground. It is where all culinary experiments are performed and tried so that you get to taste the innovative dishes. The menu is refreshingly creative and youâll find several unusual combinations to choose from. The distinct flavor of every ingredient is utilized and Bosi has made sure that the dish is not a jumble of flavors rather a dish with flavors.
