Claude Bosi at Bibendum

Claude Bosi is the fine dining restaurant and oyster bar within the historic Michelin building in South Kensington.

The Michelin star restaurant on the second floor offers both set menus and à la carte, and the inspirations are classically French and Italian, made with top British ingredients such as Scottish lobster and Orkney scallops. Do not miss the duck jelly (you can thank me later).

And what a wine list! Running at around a hundred pages, it includes not only the usual suspects from France and Italy but treasures from Austria, Switzerland and the New World. One page of whites from New Zealand?! Brilliant. And decently priced.

The service is friendly and impeccable so, if you are looking for a warm fine dining experience in London (that is comparatively reasonable in price), look no further.
