The Destination: BiBo Shoreditch
BiBo is a buzzing Andalusian brasserie that has conquered the neighbourhood of Shoreditch, becoming a must for Londoners with its terracotta tone walls, Scandinavian style glasses and a wide rose golden bar.
BiBo is chef Dani García’s first UK restaurant venture. Hosting an open-kitchen tapas bar and all-day dining room, BiBo is a lively Andalusian brasserie and tapas restaurant that offers a unique take on Spanish cuisine. The idea came from Dani’s desire to create a casual concept to democratise fine dining.
Stylish and sleek, the design scheme uses a natural colour palette, with light oak floors, soft clay-rendered walls and reflective golden surfaces to create a calm atmosphere. The brick-red tile bar is the centrepiece of the restaurant, built around a huge globe light caged in red spokes. It’s not only the interiors that are stylish, but the dishes also show plenty of artistic touches: guests can watch the chefs create an exciting host of dishes right in front of their eyes. Outside, the courtyard offers a Mediterranean taverna-inspired space, with bold red walls, hanging plants, wooden fans and a retracting glass roof.
On the menu, you’ll find some of García’s favourite dishes, all designed for sharing, including glazed aubergine, tuna belly tartare, Iberian pork presa, oxtail, burnt basque cheesecake and more. To drink, you’ll find a variety of exciting, zingy cocktails and a long list of Old World wines. Also in the hotel you’ll find Christina’s, an all-day dining and drinking spot, focused on coffee, cocktails, natural wines and katsu sandos. Plus, all dishes are designed for sharing!
