World's best restaurants

Hibiscus’ private dining room, which accomodates up to 18 people seated or 30 standing, offers the Hibiscus restaurant experience in a discreet and comfortable setting. The decor is warm and unpretentious, constrasting with the cutting edge food being served.

Time spent with the French greats has given the chef a formidable touch – the dining room might be restrained, but this is more than made up for by Bosi’s accomplished, complex and highly-imaginative French cooking. At Hibiscus, classical technique meets intriguing flavour combinations in dishes such as Raw Bouquest Shrimps & Lychees, Warm Ravoli of Kohlrabi & Pig’s Trotters and Galician Sea Urchins.
