bibo Wine Bar

Welcome to bibo Wine Bar, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Double Bay, Australia. This elegant yet relaxed establishment is the brainchild of former Guillaume at Bennelong Head Chef Jose Silva and former Guillaume Paddington Restaurant Manager Jonathan Mallet. With their combined expertise in fine dining, they have created a wine bar that offers high-quality Mediterranean cuisine with a special focus on the Portuguese flavors of Silva's upbringing and the French techniques they both admire.

At bibo, we pride ourselves on our terroir-driven wine list, featuring a carefully curated selection from the best vineyards in Australia and around the world. To enhance your wine experience, we also offer an exclusive 'museum release' from our private cellar, showcasing rare and aged wines that will delight even the most discerning palate.

Chef Silva, hailing from Portugal, gained acclaim during his 12-year tenure as Head Chef at Guillaume Brahimi's renowned Opera House restaurant. His expertise shines through in bibo's menu, which combines traditional Portuguese fare with classic French cooking techniques. You'll find a mouthwatering array of dishes that celebrate the rich flavors of both cuisines. And don't forget to indulge in our famous Portuguese tarts, a delicacy from Silva's own Petersham bakery, Sweet Belem.

Meanwhile, Manager Jonathan Mallet brings his wealth of experience from prestigious establishments in the United States. From cooking for former Presidents and world leaders at the Congressional Country Club in Washington, DC, to managing the culinary operations for the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics, Mallet knows how to deliver exceptional service and create memorable dining experiences.

Together, Silva and Mallet have created a haven where food enthusiasts and wine connoisseurs can come together to indulge in the finest flavors and enjoy the warm, inviting ambiance of bibo Wine Bar. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner, a casual gathering with friends, or a place to unwind after a long day, our knowledgeable staff will ensure you have an unforgettable experience.
