Bibendum closed after its team said they could not reach a resolution with partners and landlords to allow Michelin House to move into its next chapter. The restaurant was housed in the Grade II-listed Michelin House on Fulham Road, a former Michelin company building turned restaurant by Sir Terence Conran in 1987. Claude Bosi took over Bibendum in 2017 and earned two Michelin stars less than a year later. The building features vintage stained glass depicting the Michelin man and dates back to the company's departure in the 1980s. Bosi also opened Brooklands at The Peninsula and two Josephine bouchon branches. Time Out praised Bibendum's food and dining room.
Bibendum, the bona fide London food institution with a fine-dining powerhouse at the helm, has closed. The Claude Bosi-bossed restaurant announced the closure of the South Kensington mainstay on Instagram, writing: 'Despite our very best efforts, we were unable to reach a resolution with our partners and landlords that would allow Michelin House to move into its next chapter... It has been an honour to be part of the Michelin House story, and a privilege to share that journey with you.'
opened two branches of his Josephine bouchon in Chelsea and Marylebone. Of Bibendum, Time Out wrote: 'Bibendum remains London's nattiest and most heart-warmingly pleasurable dining room - although über-chef Bosi is putting his own dizzyingly technical and dazzlingly creative stamp on proceedings. Prices are unnervingly high, but the food is overwhelmingly excellent - so go on, blow the budget and prepare to be blown away.'
