bibo wine bar is a collaboration between former Guillaume at Bennelong Head Chef Jose Silva and former Guillaume Paddington Restaurant Manager Jonathan Mallet.
After years together in fine dining, the pair has designed an elegant yet relaxed wine bar, offering high quality and affordable Mediterranean food with a particular focus on the Portuguese food of Silva’s upbringing.
bibo has a terroir-driven wine list with a selection from the best sites in Australia and around the world. The wine list is supplemented by an exclusive ‘museum release’ from our private cellar.
Portugal-native, Silva, gained acclaim as Head Chef of Guillaume Brahimi’s 3-hat Opera House restaurant for 12 years until it’s relocation to Paddington in 2013. This is reflected in bibo’s menu with a combination of traditional Portuguese fair with classic french cooking techniques – a delicious combination. He also owns Petersham bakery, Sweet Belem, which is famed for ‘the best Portuguese tarts in Sydney’ – which are featured on the bibo menu. More recently he opened up casual eatery FICH at Petersham specialising in sustainable fish and chips.
