Champagne, caviar, and chicken? Bébé Bob opens in Soho
The team behind Bob Bob Ricard return to Soho with their newest restaurant. Located in Golden Square, and decorated in the style of the Golden Era, Bébé Bob is taking rotisserie chicken to glamorous new heights.
Born out of a love for the finer things in life, the new venture retains the signature, idiosyncratic Bob Bob style: flamboyant décor, seamless service, a meticulous approach to French cooking and some of the
best value champagne and fine wines in London, complete with a novel concept. Best summarised in the words of founder Leonid Shutov, the menu offers “any main course the customer wants as long as it is chicken or chicken.”
The menu has been curated by Head Chef Sherwin Mauro and Executive Chef Ben Hobson and is based around Vendée chicken from Pays de la Loire and Landais chicken from Gascony, cooked to order and serving two. To accompany the star of the show, sides such as potatoes roasted in chicken fat with herbs and garlic, truffled cauliflower cheese, and kale sauteed in confit garlic are on offer.
The Bob Bob Ricard staple of caviar is, of course, available in not one or two, but three varieties, alongside other decadent starter options. And to complete the trifecta of Chicken and Caviar, a wide array of wines from the Champagne region stud the wine list, alongside Burgundies and other classic wines from around the world.
Bébé Bob is open Wednesdays to Sundays for lunch and dinner sittings, with the latter accepting orders until 10pm. Tables are available only for parties of up to 4 and booking is advised. Additionally, guests are advised that children under 15 are not permitted and the restaurant enforces a smart casual dress code.
