We had a fantastic dinner at Bibou, a small French restaurant in the Bella Vista section of South Philly. It's a price fixed menu but the chef is able to accomadate different dietary needs if known in advance. Bibou is small so you'll need reservations. The staff is super attentive and the food was wonderful. It made for a great special night out.
Bibou is one of my favorite restaurants of all time. I have dined at many Michelin star restaurants and other highly rated restaurants and had the pleasure of dining at the Bibou recently. I hope to come back every year. It is an amazing experience with such a personal and delightful atmosphere. The food is top notch.

Truly delicious and memorable. Sat at the chef’s counter, and the small view into the kitchen is a fun show. I think the ingredients are the real standouts here.
We have since returned to Bibou, and each time has been a unique but equally delicious experiences. Consistently among the best food in Philadelphia.

This restaurant is certainly one of the best places in the area. All of the food is the highest level of excellent, and Pierre and Charlotte also helped me put together a gift basket of grocery items as a Holiday gift for my father. The smile on his face as he opened the merguez and the pate en croute is a memory I will remember forever! This restaurant is managed at a very high standard of service. You can never go wrong with Bibou! Warmly recommended.

Outstanding experience sitting at the Chef's counter. Service was wonderful and food was to-die-for good. Be sure to let them know upon booking if you have any dietary restrictions. Stick with their wine recommendations, they will elevate your experience. Beautifully conceived, presented, and paced. And never turn down the bread basket when it makes the rounds.

Came here because we heard it was one of the best BYOBs in Philly. Bibou definitely didn’t disappoint. There were several highlights. The lobster and foie gras were really good. The soufflé to end the meal was amazing as well. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a great meal and said the dessert was my favorite but this time it just may be. The chef came over and chatted with us as well which was a nice touch. All in it was about $300 for meal/tax/tip for 2 people but completely worth it. Definitely check out Bibou!

Amazing in so many ways...the food was out of this world; each course was better than the last, tasty, creative and "scrumptious" as my husband says! The soufflé for dessert was indescribable! I have no idea how chef Pierre does it. The ambiance of environment is delightful, small, seating for 20, intimate. The service was impeccable with smiles. It's a gem! We'll be back.

First of all, amazing chef. Thank you for greeting us at the end of our dinner. A former Le Bec Fin chef and his team delivered an amazing experience. 5 stars for the experience, 4 star for the food, and 3.5 stars for the price. I am a cook myself but I will not critique on the food as I cannot make the dishes myself without further training. But we enjoyed the fish the most! The menu changes every week but the foie gras is a staple and the souffle changes every 3 or 4 weeks. Thank you for the experience.

This was the most special meal I've had in a long time. My dining partner was not sure of some of the items on the menu and ended up enjoying many things for the first time, including oysters, foie gras, boar, and eel. I'm a big fan of french food but this was just different. Truly intimate, thoughtful service, personal touches, every dish was a winner and some were absolute show stoppers. . . it was genuinely stunning. The souffle at the end was THE BEST I've EVER had. The company was top notch too so I dont want to oversell, but on a scale of 1 to 10, this was a 9.8+.
