"If there’s a whole lobster on the menu, it’s safe to wear a shiny suit. Those are just the rules. And not only does this glitzy Spanish restaurant in Shoreditch have a giant 80-quid lobster paella so extra it could probably get a stint on one of the Real Housewives franchises, but it also has classic crowd-pleasers dressed up in their Friday night glad rags. Gooey little croquetas with a high-end Jabugo jamon hat. Spicy chorizo served on soft brioche buns with a quail egg to accessorise. And a perfectly cooked tortilla decorated with artsy squiggles of brava sauce. Basically, for boozy birthdays, big groups of colleagues out to impress their party-loving client, and high-energy meals that were always destined to end up with you all in a cab to the nearest bar, Bibo’s your guy.
