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.

Beautiful presentation, delicious extravaganza dishes, great customer service. We have enjoyed the dinner and A+ restaurant.

This place is my favorite. I visit a lot of restaurants but here I constantly return again and again. The crew is very professional and the cooking they serve is so appetizing. I never decline to have a nice dinner in this restaurant. I recommend this place with pleasure.

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!

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 Ive 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. Im 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 Ive 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+.

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.

I always loved Bibou, and their new French boutique is just amazing! Charlotte, Pierre and their girls are doing an amazing job. When life gave them lemons, they made lemonade! With a French twist!

I frequent this special restaurant once a month because I enjoy the ambiance that is characterizes this restaurant. The crew is extraordianrillyremarkably loyal and professional. The service is remarkablywonderfully rapid. Also, the food you get is exceptionaly good. I came more than once and I was always satisfied. The payment is reasobable. I recommend this restaurant to to all.

Not very comfy to walk in....!

The place serves big portions and for fair rates. kind staff. Kudos.

French food and the atmosphere at this place is great. Dropped in on Mon I think. I had a cousin come into town and she asked me to go back here. This place has a nice design. Mood here reminds me of San Diegos scene.

Looking forward to a return visit. The bill wont shock you. Kinda of like a place in Houston that I enjoyed.

Outstanding experience sitting at the Chefs 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.

My favorite spot for French food. Next time Ill be back with my friends. The bill was decent for the quality. This place has great reviews for a reason.

Great vegetarian menu!

We arrived at this spot for lunch. we heard about this spot from many people. Well, it was very successful. The staff members welcomed us with a smile and we felt fantastic. The food was just great. We loved this spot a lot and we will definitely return to this restaurant. we highly recommend this place.

The service here is great. bring your hunger - portions are filling. feels like a place in los angeles i liked.

We arrived at this spot for a meeting. This place was recommended to us by a friend. Well, it was very successful. The staff members were extremely nice and we felt very good. The meal was yummy. We enjoyed every moment and we shall definitely come back again. Warmly recommended.

They were great. Good communication prior to our reservation, polite on the phone. Tasty food. Service was also good, and the chef even came out at the end to greet us. It was a great experience!! Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic dinner at Bibou, a small French restaurant in the Bella Vista section of South Philly. Its a price fixed menu but the chef is able to accomadate different dietary needs if known in advance. Bibou is small so youll need reservations. The staff is super attentive and the food was wonderful. It made for a great special night out.

Awesome place to get something when in a hurry. Their service is efficient, prices are convenient, awesome ambience. Will visit here again

This place is nice and roomy, the food was enchanting and the prices were very affordable. quick, productive service and very personal staff members. I highly recommend this place.

I absolutely love the food and service, great area close to my house. The employees are always nice. Will come visit again.

The food is consistently fresh and flavorful, workers provides fantastic customer service. I like how clean it is and character. Would recommend to others.

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. Its a gem! Well be back.

Truly delicious and memorable. Sat at the chef’s counter, and the small (maybe a little too small) view into the kitchen is a fun show. I think the ingredients are the real standouts here.

This restaurant provides wonderful service and yummy meals. My favourite place in town. The food and drinks served fast and the rates were inexpensive. Recommended.

Very fine, petite small plates for an outdoor aperitif. Very civilized and love the owners!

Servers are very nice - they noticed it was my graduation without me saying anything and gave me a complimentary drink! I ordered the salmon dish for lunch and the fish was cooked perfectly! Very fragrant broth sauce

My top scene for tasty French food. Looking forward to coming back with my relatives. Bring your hunger - portions are generous. Food is like a restaurant in Jacksonville I liked.

French food at this place - delicious. everyone at our table was enjoying everything. prices were fair for the quality of the food.

Tried this spot once with my friend and I am addicted since then. I loved the good atmosphere and tasty dishes and drinks. Great work.

Intimate (seats about 20) French place in South Philly. Fixed price, fixed menu. VERY good service, BYOB but these guys know how to handle your wines.OK, I am not the best with French food but I know what I like and I liked the food here.Seared foie gras, tile fish, NY strip, fennel soup (not in that order). All very well presented and delicious.Bottom line: We would be back if we still lived here. My brother, the wine connoisseur, HAS been back, multiple times.Oh, yeah, one more thing: they only take cash, so hit the ATM beforehand.Also right next to a municipal parking lot. For folks from LA like us, very good food and convenient self-parking-- I was in heaven.

This place is worth trying. They serve big portions for fair rates. Always neat and with awesome atmosphere. I highly recommend this place.

French food, mmm, so delicious. Nothing to complain about. There was quick and friendly service. Prices that are reasonable.

Tiny corner property BYOB that needs to be booked well in advance. The 7 course pre-fix menu changes weekly so its totally up to the chef. He also comes out to introduce himself towards the end of the meal. Its very authentic French meal w/ excellent service!

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.

Fine spot for delicious French food. I will be bringing family next time. Menu is like a cafe in Boston I liked.

One of my preferred places for French food. I wish there were more places like this around town. Service treated us so nice. The place has a good atmosphere.

I enjoyed this place, the food was different and delicious. The staff were very polite and pleasant and my visit was an overall pleasant event.

I didn’t go there but it’s looks good

Good food never had French food before yesterday this place was very Fancy classy clean food was fresh an clean. I would definitely comeback here next time Im in Philly

I always come by purchasing some food in this spot. I enjoyed the efficient service and well cooked food. I recommend this place.

Best in the city! :) the service is outstanding and very high class. Make reservations ahead of time to enjoy the place and the food. Try the first thing that caughts your attention and you wont be disappointed.

Good place for quality French food. i had a cousin come into town and she asked me to go back here. this place has a great atmosphere.

My top place for quality French food. The place has an awesome atmosphere.

French food, so fresh. I love visiting here. Not so close to my office, unfortunately.

Excellent French cuisine in a small quaint dining room. Tasting menu was fantastic.

Absolutely delicious. Amazing service and the food was great. Very reasonably priced for the quality of this course meal. Byob is always a plus too !

Cosy and refined.I believe the 7 course tasting menu changes regularly so I can only speak to the one I was served. It was truly delicious and everything was cooked to perfection. Only the oyster with smoked jelly and caviar carried me off the beaten paths in terms of originality but everything else was perfectly cooked, balanced and refined, my personal favorites being the soup, grouper and sweetbreads dishes. Service was great apart from a strange insistence on bringing coffee out before desert. A lovely experience overall.

This is one of the top five restaurants probably in the state unbelievable bring your own bottle fantastic

What a delightful evening of fabulous food presented with panache! We enjoyed the quiet ambiance which allowed great conversation. A special experience.

Amazing French cuisine. The chef is a true artist. The tasting menu format is ideal. And a very intimate setting - less than 10 tables.

French food and the atmosphere at this location is great. Food with real quality ingredients. The place has a great atmosphere.

Top notch food and service, for a very small byob.

Wonderful small French restaurant. Really special. If you get a chance to go, do not miss it.

Best food in the world.

A last minute 530 pm reservation for Sunday evening in the middle of the afternoon. Easy access to the restaurant from exit 20 off 95S making travel from NJ convenient. Parked next door(free 2 hour parking) a few steps from the front door. Prompt efficient service. The chef, Pierre, came out to meet us before dessert and discuss the menu. French bagettes are baked fresh daily on premises. Spectacular unique meal!! First visit of many

The service is constantly swift, good atmosphere, super friendly staff. I will eat here again when I get here.

Outstanding French cuisine, one of the top 5 restaurants in the city. Fixed tasting menu only. BYOB. Small intimate dining room. Reservations required.

My husband and I wanted some place special to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and to have time to visit with our son, a student at UPenn. The food was spectacular, the experience was like nothing we have experienced before and the opportunity to have the owner/chef come to our table and speak with us and ask us for our opinions was definitely fun! We will be back to eat here again when we return to Philly. Totally worth it!

High end dining in a cozy room. Service was superb.

Excellent tasting menu, each course tastes excellent based on my many visits and Bibou continues to deserve its great reputation.

Psst... the best restaurant in Philly (if you like french of course). Nuff said

As one friend put it:The best French restaurant in America

Amazing BYOB tasting menu.

Classical modern French. It always promises a great time and its BYOB. My favorite restaurant in Philadelphia.

Wonderful food, with very friendly staff. One of the best meals weve ever had.

Very high quality ingredients.Sadly the creativity of the dishes and execution are not there.If a chef is only offering a tasting menu the dishes should be inspired, followed by well thought out execution.The courses lacked depth of thought in where the diners pallet is taken. Also execution of texture was sloppy for a tasting menu.Although in the last course I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the well executed soufle.But please ignore any mysticism around this place. For a tasting menu and a $115 per guest rate. This place does not hold a candle to a pinnaple & Pearls or an Arroz.(Tasting menus similar in price)Sadly an uninspired expience in comparison.

THE BEST FOOD fabulous service

Meticulous attention to every dish, perfectly prepared. A great mix of traditional and contemporary French cuisine.

This is one of my favourite restaurants anywhere in the world.

Great food, but found myself liking the appetizers more than I liked the mains. Good for special occasions!

Solid French-styled food with good service

Had an amazing dinner at Bibou last night.

Arguably the best restaurant in the city (along with Vetri and Vernick), and definitely the best French food you can find. The service is impeccable and friendly, and you just cannot beat the food. Seems weird to say, but be sure to try the european butter they serve with their baguettes. This place is so good we have taken to making standing reservations to make sure we get there at least every 2 months.

Excellent time and great food

Amazing tasting menu with a rotating French cuisine that will leave you wanting to go back for more. Pricey but worth the experience.

Beautiful tasting menu with lots of attention to details.

Second time there. The foie was perfect, and the cold squash and shrimp soup was unforgettable. I wish the portions were a bit bigger, but thats knit picking. I left pleasently stuffed. I am really critical when it comes to fancy french food but this place kills it.

Loved the place, if you in the area do yourself a favor and stop by there

Amazing! My husband and I have been here a several times over the past few years, but this time was our best experience. The frogs legs, and frois grois two ways (pan seared & creme brulee) were incredible. I had the Saint-Jacques scallops and that entree was one of the best plates Ive ever had at any restaurant.

Superb. Seriously expensive, but dare I say, worth it.

So sad I waited as long as I did to go to Bibou. Spectacular.

Intimate setting; great food. Dont forget to bring your own wine like we did :-)

This is the best french restaurant in philadelphia and is byo. The atmosphere is inviting and warm, the staff very knowledgeable and helpful. With every course I was elated. The escargot, the foie gras, marrow, baked Alaska all left my taste buds wanting more. The chef greets you after your meal and is very pleasant. I will continue to go here for every occasion or any excuse!

This is the most over-rated restaurant I have ever been to...We had heard rave reviews of this place. I went here with two colleagues of mine, we had a reservation at 9. It was weekday and we had booked 3 weeks in advance, but still could not get a table before 9.We reached there at 8:50 and were asked to wait outside for 15 minutes. When we knocked the door again at 9:05, we were told to wait for another 15 minutes. It was finally at 9:40 that we were allowed to enter the restaurant.It was a small room bustling with customers leaving very little space for moving. The atmosphere was suffocating. Although am not a fan of french food, but neither do I despise it. But the food here is far below average and definitely does not corresponds to the rosy reviews which we had read before.The only good thing about this place is that the chef personally shake hands with every customer, as if trying to compensate for the limitations this place has to offer.I wonder how Zagat gave it a 29! I could have ate a far satisfying meal at a cosier place and at more convenient timings, at half the rate. Not at all recommended.

Housed in the former Pif building, this is one of the reasons Philly restaurant culture is one of the best in the country.

Tasting menu is great! Well worth the cost...

Food: 3Decor: 3Service: 4Came here for their Sunday $45 4-course prix fixe after snagging a reservation 3 weeks in advance. Its hard to find parking in the area, but I managed to finally find a spot in the parking lot next door after circling around for 15 min.1. Consomme~Pretty good.2. Foie gras with grilled apricot~Pretty good. Foie gras was tasty, although I was hoping itd be smoother and more buttery.3. Sea bass~Delicious. Easily the best course of the night. Bass was cooked perfectly, and the broth was quite good. Side veggies were decent.4. Frozen souffle~Okay. More like frozen ice cream (cant remember the dessert Im thinking of).5. Macaroons and cookies~Mediocre. A bit too sweet, and I only had a bite of each.Service was good, although it was odd when the server came back and told me there was only 1 bass left and asked me to switch to another fish. Luckily, another server came by and said that I could have the bass.

Such a small place but a lot of customers! This place offers everything you would want to be on a menu and food was very good. The place is pretty costy but you get the BYO so that was pretty nice. Food was really good except that it would have been even better if the escargot was made with a butter base instead of a brown sauce and peas. The filet mignon was good and as well as the veal. The banana takin was too sweet but the caramel ice cream was good. Only con was that the server has a terrible accent and when recommending the specialties of the day, he was hesitating and sighing in between which made me felt a little discomfort. Overall, this place was good and the chef even came out to speak to certain tables which was welcoming.

French excellence in Philly. They channel Paul Bocuse and take you on a enchanting journey to french perfection. Mon Dieu. The BYOB makes this place the greatest deal, parking next door & paradise inside. It feels like a bistro with friendly service but delivers like Le Bec-Fin. After an exquisite meal you are warmly greeted by the maestro, Chef Pierre Calmels, veteran of Daniel & Le Bec-Fin himself. Merci Beaucoup were my words to the Chef.

The pigs feet stuffed with foie gras is out of this world. What a treasure for South Philly.

Amazing!! we had a wonderful evening

Great food!

Simply amazing

Great place!
