For a while Hibiscus seemed to be the most talked about place. Everyone just raved about it. We even had it recommended while in L’Astrance in Paris.
The conclusion from our visit on a Saturday evening when they only do tasting menus (a rather mercenary approach in my view), was that it was over hyped, overpriced rather boring food.
When the best dish in a £175 a head meal (food with matching wines) is the cheese course, then there is something wrong.
This restaurant is currently number 56 on the S.Pellegrino World’s Best Restaurants list. It has 2 Michelin stars and 4 AA Rosettes, so it should have been superb or a least very good, as at this level there really should be no off days.
Very disappointing
