Bbar in City of London

I was looking for any plate to indicate it’s a Michelin restaurant as all the food has something special about it, from flavors to plating. The staff are also pretty elegant and really friendly. I would recommend it anytime.

While from the outside it may look like a busy / noisy watering hole you only have to look past and walk through the bar area to what ends up looking like a beautiful European bistro that serves lovely food with a south African influence, a great wine list and extremely attentive service - all very beautifully presented at a competitive price.

I have visited Bbar on a weekday lunchtime and it was only around 50% occupied. There were some larger groups of people having lunch whereas others were on single tables just for a drink, so quite a mix. The atmosphere is quite dark and elegant, with gold and animal print decor. The staff were friendly and you were given a warm welcome. The cocktail menu was extensive, there was not a large food menu, but there was a variety of options that should suit most palettes.The food was cooked well, I'd definitely recommend the salt beef sandwich if you visit as it was the best dish from our selection.

Great place, South African themed restaurant with good food, attentive service and fab pictures on the walls and no music so you don't have to shout to speak to your companions!

Loved this place! One of the highlights of my trip to London was going here. I didn’t know until later that Bbar was associated with the Ruben hotel next-door. Look at the photo of my Gin drink, blueberry, grapefruit and coconut. It was as good as it looks. The service was excellent, the food had Indian spices.

Great food and amazing staff! The grilled cheese was the best I've ever had. Just make sure to account for an extra hour for lunch...the food took forever to get to us

Very friendly staff. Good selection of wines, cocktails, ciders and beers. Food is decent. Very close to the Victoria line and Buckingham palace. Good place to grab a bite if doing touristy things around central London.

Amazing venue and outstanding service! We booked for 20 people on Marathon Day and it was perfect, the terrace area is lovely but we did end up going inside as it got colder. The staff were so attentive and helpful, would highly recommend to anyone.

Beautiful decor, incredible staff!! We were in a rush for a show and they really pushed the meals to come out as quickly as possible, thank you to the chefs and the waiters!! The food was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection. If you go for a lunch/dinner deal, the prices are very good as well. Large menu. We'll definitely go again when we are back in London. It is really close to Victoria Palace theatre, great for a pre-show meal. 100% recommended!

Best service and food I have ever received. It was a pleasure to spend the last day of my 20s dining here. The food was excellent 5 star all round. Friendly, polite and patient.
