1 Percy Street, London, W1T 1DB
This is now a regular rendez-vous that we have with Bam-Bou every 2 years or so. I know this place since we arrived to live in London back in 2000. 2008, the place still lives to our expectations. Fantastic food with a fantastic décor a la Vietnamese-French style. We had a a table of four in a small room that can cater only 2 tables. The place is a Georgian town-house, and the restaurant has really used the space in order to place guests in different rooms on 3 different floors. You also have the possibility to book private rooms for business functions or birthdays. Menu has changed quite a bit since our last dinner at Bam-Bou in 2005. But innovation and multi-flavor dishes are still intact on your plates. However, we were disappointed by the size of some of the starters (eg. Prawn rolls). My main course was the Pan Fried Sea Bass with Fennel. This was absolutely delicious and well combined with some egg fried rice. My wife was looking forward for one of their signature dessert, pancakes rolls with chocolate filling and orange marmalade. Unfortunately, this dessert is not anymore on the menu. This is really shame, as this dessert was really unique. Service was quick and efficient. It lacks maybe of personality and more attention to tables. The bill came to £50 per person with beers and a bottle of wine. We will definitely come back in 2 years...
