Rotisserie chicken, caviar, champagne, and vibrant art deco interiors
"We’ve had a soft spot for this plush rotisserie chicken spot on Soho Square ever since it first opened. Maybe it’s the Austin Powers-esque interior. Maybe it’s the timewarp obsession with champagne and caviar. Or maybe it’s the fact it’s genuinely well-priced. Either way, Bébé Bob adds a touch of much-needed silliness and OTT glamour to birthday proceedings, whether you’re up at the bar, or in a shagadelic booth." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"A retail therapy day is all about treating yourself, and Bébé Bob, a shiny, Soho Square extrovert, gets that. It comes from the same restaurant group that brought London the ‘Press For Champagne’ button and that OTT spirit is alive and well in the selection of caviars and sleek banquettes here. The menu is modern European, but really it’s the bits of the kid’s menu that gives adults a pang of jealousy. Get the excellent rotisserie chicken and chips, and then get a little loose on champagne." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Although Bébé Bob comes from the same family that brought London a famously excessive restaurant featuring a ‘Press For Champagne’ button, this colourful rotisserie spot on Soho Square is aimed at the masses. Vegetarians should scroll on now because chicken is the name of the game here. Four is the maximum group size available—ideal for a catch-up—and the well-priced chicken and chips doesn’t disappoint." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Casual and ostentatious aren’t words that usually go together, and even less so when you apply them to a rotisserie chicken spot in Soho. But Bébé Bob is all of those things. This kaleidoscopic, art deco pad of a restaurant mixes late ‘80s glamour with a straightforward menu. Sure, there’s caviar. And champagne. But beyond that, it’s like a children’s restaurant that’s been made to grow up. Schmoozy business lunches take place over ludicrously tender chicken—it’s the only main on the menu—while friends slide into big banquettes ready for piles of truffled fries." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"Chicken, chips, and salad: £19 For anyone looking to embrace the essence of childhood lunches past, Bébé Bob’s posh chicken nuggets and chips (and a salad) will do very nicely. The OTT spot on Soho Square is all about embracing your fun-loving side, even if this chicken is straight from the south west of France rather than Bernard Matthews' farms. FYI this express lunch is counter-only, no reservations." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
