Claude Bosi's Oyster Bar

At the iconic Bibendum Oyster Bar, charm and historic elegance are abundant, situated within the striking art deco architecture of the old Michelin Building. Known for its superb selection of seafood, this dining venue delivers highlights like the exquisitely prepared Monkfish with radicchio and mirin sauce, as well as an impressive seafood platter boasting tiger prawns, razor clams, and perfectly sautéed mussels. While patrons may enjoy the vibrant ambiance enhanced by blooms from the neighboring flower shop, some note that the acoustics can amplify chatter within the brasserie-style setting. Although service dedication varies—ranging from attentive and warm to a touch disorganized—the house cocktail offerings impress consistently, pairing beautifully with Chef Claude Bosi’s classic French fish preparations. An ever-popular choice for oysters, with frequent references to their freshness and quality, Bibendum remains a cherished locale for seafood aficionados who value both culinary and architectural flair in equal measure.
