Incredible restaurant and amazing meal. It may be one of my favorite dining experiences in a long time. The oxtail brioche sandwich is to die for. The pluma iberica de cerdo was super yummy. The drinks were part of the show, incredibly executed. Highly recommended. read more

We were here in a large group, but had to be seated separately which was fine. The place is beautiful, ambiance was very nice. We ordered a few appetizers the Tuna Tatar, the Tuna Tiradotos. Mushrooms. The Mains we had Beef tenderloin, the fish, and the burger, and everything was delicious. Thank God for that because if not that my rating would have been a 1. The Service was Terrible I have never had a waitress roll her eyes at us bc we were giving our orders and she wanted to x2 the order. And we had some people in the group that don't have perfect Spanish and she had 0 knowledge of any English. Which is fine until the eye rolling especially when they would bring out the wrong drink or took 30 min for a drink. I can't blame the Bartender bc he was by himself and got slammed, and the place was full. But the drinks he made were VERY GOOD. So for the Bartender and the food I give a 5, but the waitress a -1. I can't say that I would be back, but you never know. read more

I want to honestly say that I've driven by Kasama (Chicago) at least 10 times and the line is like 50 people deep every time. So what a Great experience it is to just randomly select and walk into Bibo Madrid (also Michelin rated) and be seated immediately, wow!! FYI, I guess this is a restaurant where there's a lack diversity in diners. There was a family in front of us and the dad turned around and looked at us/me and he had a look of complete fear. I must of looked like a really hangry uncle Roger. Anyway, the interior was very unique and whimsical, especially with the bahr in the center of the restaurant and the balloon......Keep that in mind, you'll see a balloon at the end of your exceptional meal (see pic)..:) We had the foie gras encrusted in goat cheese, the conjunda (chorizo) brioche, rabo (oxtail) brioche, tempura tiger prawns (skip if you're stuck on Japanese tempura) and for the grande finale - the Mirabella Sun (an orange sphere filled with citrusy cream. The Sun was artistic, befuddling when it first came out and just a pleasure to eat. The rabo sandwich with DG sauce (whatever that means) was incredibly scrumptious, I could have had ten of those brioches!! There's also complimentary gazpacho soup and bread that was very good (I didn't order it but they'll charge you for it). I'm not into cold soup, even on a hot day. Our server was very friendly and helpful and with his limited English and my limited Spanish, I would say his recommendations were 80% on target. read more

Food: Heaven. I ordered broccolini and kale salad. It was large and fresh- tasting. The lemon and mustard dressing really was amusing for my mouth. They started off our lunch with tomato gazpacho and rustic bread with butter. I kept dipping the bread in the gazpacho but I was told, when I enquired later, that dipping bread in gazpacho is certainly rule breaking. Service The service was quick and responsive but it was us making it quick and not our servers. As in, they were not at all rushing us and would have given us more time to enjoy. They were, the team, delightful. Smiling, talking to my son, asking if we needed anything etc. Ambiance Adorable. There is lighting all over the ceiling and the hot air balloon theme was heart warming. While I was wearing a dress, some in our party were in sweats and felt underdressed. The bathroom was stylish and included a changing table with everything needed and diapers of different sizes. Imagine this in the states? I can't imagine it. What a lovely lunch. read more

As fans of Casa Dani - and Dani Garcia - we could not pass up an opportunity to eat at BiBo here in Madrid. We were not disappointed. The food was equally amazing, both creative and delicious. You must order one of Dani's tuna dishes. The service was terrific. The room is bright and festive. A great choice. read more

What a wonderful restaurant! We were seated next to the kitchen, which gave us a great view of the cooking. All of the dishes were handled with care and were each equally beautiful. After reading other reviews about the bad waitstaff, I was a bit worried going into it. But after being served by the kindest and most attentive waiter, I can safely say that the service was excellent. The food was great. We especially loved the gazpacho, ceviche and Caesar salad. We enjoyed watching them make the Caesar in front of our table! Over all, this restaurant definitely deserves a five star review, and a second visit. read more

I have been to many upscale restaurants in Madrid - this was by far the worst. 4 out of 6 of us could not eat our meals. The sole Wellington was so bad nobody ate it. A pasta dish was undercooked and over peppered. The service was beyond rude - sneering at us when we did not order a second bottle of wine. We asked 3 times for water and it didn't come until I complained to the head waiter. My advice: STAY AWAY read more

Came here for a birthday dinner and was blown away by the beautiful decor. The cocktails were great and served in unique cups. The ceviche and oysters were great. However the tuna tartare was not what I expected. It was just cubes of fish, not tartare at all. I was a bit thrown off by the waiter who kept recommending the most expensive dishes on the menu and even told us we had to get 2 tuna tartares because each dish was only "4 bites". I liked the steak but others thought it was a bit too raw. Since it is a shared dish I think it would have been better if the waiter brought a hot plate to allow everyone to cook to their preferences. Finally, the dessert was beautiful. I definitely recommend Marbella's Sun. Overall Bibo is the perfect place for a special occasion but be careful when following the waiter's recommendations. read more

Bibo Madrid - Lobster - Mediterranean Near Me - Madrid, M

Good food, Poor Service. The beautiful floral and whimsical ambiance of BiBo made me feel like I was a celebrity and this was the spot to be at. Aside from the nice location and outstanding decor the food was tasty and satisfying. The mix of flavors danced across my palate and the presentation of each dish was *chef's kiss* (icing on the cake). I would like to highlight that the oxtail (both the ravioli and brioche) was delightful and appetizing. The oxtail was tender and just melted in your mouth like butter and was filled with so much flavor that I couldn't get enough. Even though the food and ambiance was simply terrific, I can't say the same for the service. Due to the lack of effective communication and teamwork, the service at BiBo was disappointing and not one that I would expect from a 3 Star Michelin Chef's restaurant. To start, my table had ordered two Caesar salads (one with chicken and one without). The maître d' assistant assigned to our table, Makarena, was in charge of making the Caesar salad for our table. Once completing the salad she then plates only one Caesar salad at the table. It wasn't until our maître d', Paula, tells Makarena that we ordered 2 salads and the order was supposed to be split. She returns to our table and proceeds to take the already placed salad and splits the salad on the side to make 2 salads. From my understanding, the fact that the salad was already placed on the table means that it shouldn't be touched again unless it's to be thrown out due to cross contamination, so we should have received a new salad. Another "incident" during our meal was that Makarena took away our focaccia and gazpacho without asking if we were done with our plates first. Once our main dishes arrived they were all placed on the table in front of the wrong person, so we had to play hot potato and move the dishes accordingly. Furthermore, I was celebrating my birthday and decided to order a dessert to share with my family. I was enjoying my dessert, but before I could finish it, Makarena again took the plate away and discarded it without asking if we were finished and she could take it away. Another thing I would like to add is that our maître d' Paula didn't even tell us her shift was ending and she was done for the day, so when we were looking for her to get our bill and pay she was nowhere to be found and when we asked for her the staff didn't seem to know who we were talking about. It gave the impression that they don't know who they are working with or which tables have been assigned to who. I expected a better service from BiBo and was quite disappointed that even after we spoke to the manager Milo we didn't receive any apology from Makarena, Milo, or Paula and we had to wait an extremely long time to get our bill which was also not correct and needed to be corrected a few times. In my opinion, the staff at BiBo needs clearer and better leadership. The managers at BiBo should pay more attention to their staff and the service. Just because Chef Dani Garcia has an elite status doesn't not mean that the service of his restaurant can be any less than perfect. Laziness is no excuse -- especially when we, as consumers, are expected to pay the price of such service. read more

Good food and good environment! I also bought my kids to eat and it's kids friendly place.

Really cool restaurant that lived up to the hype. Very cool decor and service was very good. The food was very stylistic with great plating and flavors were great. I had the iberian ham from the tenderloin and it was maybe the most tender and flavorful pork that i've ever had. I really liked the iberian ham shaving they gave us as an amuse buche to start. The various starters were also very tasty in particular the cherry gazpacho and the little brioche bites. Often restaurants like this end up disappointing, but this wasn't those cases. Great place especially to celebrate a special occassion. read more

Service is on par with a fast food restaurant and definitely not what you would expect from what claims to be a "Michelin" starred restaurant. Where to begin? --the online menu took forever to download and the waiter refused to give us printed menus (which they have). As a result, when we ordered our drinks, we had to rely on the waiter's descriptions - which he only provided in Spanish, despite knowing one member of the party only spoke English. As a result, that person had no idea what to order. --EVERY course was delivered to the wrong person and the silverware was also misplaced --the waiter had to write down our orders (I can't remember the last time a waiter at a high-end restaurant was unable to take orders for a table of three without being able to remember the orders) --whenever a member of the party left the table, no one refreshed/refolded their napkins --the entire service was rushed with one server or another asking if we were done yet With all the remarkable restaurants across Madrid, why waste your time dining at a restaurant that has no clue how to treat its customers? Answer-there is no reason. EAT ANYWHERE ELSE! read more

Extraordinary venture by star chef Dani Garcia from Malaga. A super refined visionary and surprising menu. Imaginative decoration of a grand space in an elegant Paseo de la Castellana monumental corner. Great atmosphere. This is a unique establishment. Worth coming in many ways. Only weak point is that it is a bit overpriced for the overall Madrid context. read more

The food was good, but after 48 minutes the waitress came to request that we need to paid and leave because they have another seating!!! That was not explain to us, after requesting a 150 euros wine. I couldn't drink it! Worst place to eat in Madrid read more

Amazing atmosphere and very good food in my opinion. I love the look and feel of this restaurant. There is a large balloon in the middle of the bar and it creates a very interesting look. I am not usually a gazpacho person but i started with the cherry gazpacho and I am so glad that I did because it was such a pleasant surprise and was extremely tasty. It had great flavor and was just a very nice way to start the meal. The ensalada langostinos tempura was amazing. I could eat a salad like that everyday. It was just so refreshing and tasty. Definitely a recommendation for a starter or to share. I had one of the fish dishes- i can't remember which fish it was but it was so fresh and delicious. It was cooked in some sort of salt wrap and had a fantastic taste and texture. read more

I had a good lunch at Bibo overall. It's a bit pricey but their dishes were composed and presented differently than most other restaurants I've been to. Some of the dishes has a slight twist to it. For example, the steak tartare has some grated foie on top which made the steak tartare extra creamy. The Iberian hotdog on brioche was presented on a framed mirror. The cocktail menu comes in a deck of cards and my chosen drink arrived in a treasure box filled with smoke. Nice upscale restaurant with a center bar decorated with a hot air balloon as focal point. Worth a visit if you can't make it to Dani Garcia's namesake fine dining restaurant in Marbella. read more

Today 3/21/22 at 3:15pm was our reservation for 8 people. Our reservation was made over a month ago since we were visiting Madrid for 2 days for my niece's 23rd birthday. My niece picked the place because of Dani Garcia reputation as a Michelin star chef with €€€€ 4 Euro sign. The location of our table was in the corner by the service door which 1 of the seat had to be repositioned several times during the course of the meal so as not to be in the way of the wait staff. It took 10 minutes for Paula to introduce herself to our table. She started by taking our beverages orders, starters, and main course. My boyfriend asked Paula if possible to have 3 separate bills for each family (2, 2, and 4) which we motioned to Paula who were in the group. Paula replied "no problem'. I can't emphasize enough how delicious the food we ordered and the food presentation was very nice. But the service was unsatisfactory and unacceptable. The wait staff lacked communication, team work, and proper training on customer service. The following failed service were as follows: 1) as we ate the starters Macarena took my sister's foie gras appetizer plate filled with thin bread without asking if she was finished. 2) Macarena also took my bread plate with butter and piece of bread without asking if I was finished. 3) As Macarena prepared the Cesar salad beside our table for show, she placed all the salad with chicken on 1 plate and served to my brother. Then 2 minutes later she came back and tried to explain in broken English that the Cesar salad was to be split with my sister without chicken. Macarena took the plate back and returned with 2 salad plates. My sister's salad plate was a mess. Also this was unsanitary since my brother already started to eat the salad in the first place. What happened to sanitary service since we're in the middle of COVID pandemic? All of the above we tried to overlooked since we were really enjoying the delicious food. But we finally reached out threshold when 4) Macarena once again took my niece's unfinished dessert without asking if she was finished. My niece was really enjoying her dessert with her cocktail. My sister even approached the manager about the above experienced. No apology or explanation was provided. 5) when we asked for the bill another wait staff brought a bill for EU 349.68. So we asked for Paula so she can give us 3 separate bill. Other wait staff acted like they don't know Paula. Finally we were told that Paula was gone for the day. Mind you we frequent fine establishments and familiar with great service. From our experience Paula should've introduced her replacement prior to leaving her work. 6) Another staff brought 3 separate bills with incorrect orders. Also the total of the 3 bills were EU 422. So we asked for the original bill which at this time they could not produce. And out of frustration we decided to just split the bill. I also wanted to add our orders were placed/given to the wrong person. All the wait staff were in a rushed like what you would find in a fast food establishment. We left that place disappointed and dissatisfied. Due to our poor experience, I give it a 1 star. read more

poor service, good food Coming from out of the country we booked a reservation 2 months ahead of time for our special, Michelin dinner experience in Madrid. It was not a Michelin experience. After arriving on time for our reservation, we were seated an hour late (11pm), then it took 15 minutes to bring us water glasses. We were rushed through our meal, and we received our check 30 minutes after asking for it. The service was intermittent, some of the staff were rude, and offended my family. Not to mention the injustified price tag. Careful booking here. read more

Atmosphere was amazing, drinks were "eh" tasting with outstanding presentations. Food presentation was amazing and loved tempura king prawns. My wife liked everything a lot, k was not the biggest fan personally. One point I noticed and didn't like was that we ordered a bottle of sparkle if water. As we drank it, they came and brought 4 additional bottles (without request) over the course of the night and then charged us for all 5 bottles). One should ask first if someone would like another bottle before bringing one if they are to be charged. read more

One of my favorite places in Madrid. What can I say, I'm a sucker for places with high ceilings! Service was fantastic. Food were beautifully presented and tasted great!

My friends and I walked over to this restaurant after the football game and we were able to get seated near the bar after 20 min. We were promised a table but they just ended up seating us around the bar which was no problem to us. We ordered the kale salad, cod and some other item which I cant remember the name to. Food was delicious! Service was mediocre. The decor of the restaurant was absolutely beautiful and so was the restroom! I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The staff was very accommodating. read more

My friends and I chose this restaurant because of its reviews and the chef's reputation. We were sorely disappointed. The service was adequate and the ambiance was amazing. However, the food was awful. We waited over 2 hours to be served meat that was so tough, we could hardly cut it, let alone chew it. We ordered the 1 kg of "high quality" beef parrilla to share among the 4 of us. It was €85. We all had very high expectations given the price and the restaurant's reputation. When we informed the waitress, she seemed puzzled but apologetic and allowed us to order another entree. I ordered the filet mignon (solomillo) cooked medium rare. It came burnt with the burned side down- clearly an effort to hide it. We were exhausted from waiting so long that we didn't bother mentioning it. read more

Bibo for dinner was an experience. First, it was open at 730pm and 8pm for a dinner reservation - rare in Madrid. Most restaurants won't open for dinner before 830pm (an odd experience for Americans!). Second, the food was fantastic and the service superb. Had the best gazpacho I've ever had -- a cherry gazpacho. I couldn't even imagine it, but it was great. Had the tuna for entree -- this is a Tuna House of the First Order. The restaurant is Michelin starred and the chef is a television celebrity in Spain. Atmosphere and Ambience -- this place could be the site of a Bond dinner . . . almost casino-like in its energy and vibrance. At 8pm on a Thursday night the place was jumping. A place to see and be seen. Movie star atmosphere. Very unique. I loved the decor and the lighting -- how often do I notice the art-like, monster-sized light fixtures in a restaurant . . . um never.. A truly unique and uplifting experience. Run don't walk to Bibo. I will be back soon. read more

Great architecture. Great style. Great atmosphere. Great service. Great food. there's nothing about this place you can complain about. It's amazing how many flavours this restaurant can include in one single dish; but the explosion is from another world. The dish i totally recommend are las croquetas de jamón. That's an entry you cannot forget about. There's also a rice pudding dessert with some citric juices, and it's to die for. Seriously, this place is somewhere to go with family, a date, some friends, even alone, you will always enjoy it. read more

Fabulous!!!! Service decor and the food!!! Highly highly recommend. Had dinner at ten con ten the night prior and left scratching our heads over their service. None of that here.

The most wonderful food experience this time in Madrid! Absolutely incredible service! We went with our baby for a snack at 4pm and they have us a table at the dinning room so we were more comfortable with her and the stroller. We had almost all the items from their smaller snack menu and everything, and I mean EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious, every little tapa was perfection! An amazing adventure came with every plate they delivered including the desserts. What stand out the most for me, the Milhojas de Foie y Queso con Manzana, this was with no doubt THE best Foie dish I have ever had! It literally left me speechless. A perfect balance of a wonderful light Foie in between the most delicate cheese mix and the crunch of the caramelized apples made this dish one to crave for my entire life! This will be for sure a place where we will come back as many times as possible and very soon during this trip for lunch or dinner without a doubt! Bravo Chef Dani! For many more stars! read more

Great Decor. Very attentive service. Menu is designed really well. The food is just ok. I don't drink so can't comment on the drinks. Foodwise, doesn't quite match up with the experience you think you're going to have when you sit down. Foie gras yogurt was pretty good. The Oxtail brioche was a little salty and rich. The chorizo brioche was better. Grilled octopus was chewy af. Apparently that's the way it's supposed to be. Artichokes were delish. Pea, avacado burratta turned out to just a well prepared guacamole with some chunks of burratta on it with tortilla chips. Meh. All in all I enjoyed the experience but it's certainly not the best meal I've had in Madrid. read more

Absolutely loved this restaurant! Spend the past 5 days in Spain (Ibiza and Madrid) and this was by far the best meal we shared. The restaurant itself is beautiful (the lighting and the decor - there are over 7,000 light bulbs in the restaurant and there is a balloon in the center of the bar which is very unique and pretty). The drinks were excellent and very reasonably prices (compared to other restaurants of this quality we have visited in Europe). The food was amazing. We loved the mini hot dogs and the croquettes (I am not a lover of Spanish food in general). The avocado burrata and pea was also very interesting and the steak tartar was delicious. I wish we had not gone there on our last night so that we could have gone back. read more
