4. Bébé Bob

To celebrate the 15th birthday of their original restaurant, the team behind Bob Bob Ricard have blessed Londoners with a sibling! Aptly named, Bébé Bob was born out of love for the finer things in life - rotisserie chicken, caviar, fine wine, and of course, champagne. If chicken is always your meat of choice, you’ll feel right at home with two variations on offer with fresh, cooked to order Vendée chicken from Pays de la Loire or Landais chicken from Gascony complemented by a curated wine list from all over the world. Join in on the hype and reserve a table for a glamorous evening meal like no other.

‍Location: 37 Golden Square, London W1F 9LB
