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 Mediterranean food with a particular focus on the Portuguese food of Silva’s upbringing and the French technique.
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.
Our Paris born Head Chef, Léonard Michaud, trained in his home city and has worked in leading restaurants in both Paris and London, including Hotel Le Meurice, La Truffiere and with Pierre Gagnaire at Sketch London to name a few. Léonard, or Leo as he is known to most, runs the bibo kitchen with passion and flare. His delicious menu incorporates his French Michelin star training with Jose’s Portuguese flavours to create something unique and truly delicious.
