Dinner at La Bibliotheque was a lovely experience.. Food, wine and service were first rate. It was my second visit and I will definitely eat at there again. My guests also really enjoyed it. The staff were courteous and helpful and the food and wine delicious. We had splendid cocktails followed by a perfect meal from the a la carte menu. It is one of the nicest restaurants I've visited in the last year. The seating was most comfortable and the background music played at a gentle level so conversation was not interrupted. The toilets are attractive and well kept and the room décor tasteful. La Bibliotheque offers an exceptional dining experience. I highly recommend it. Thank you.

The cocktails! Just amazing. I had their Kyoto Martini at their bar next door, MAP Maison, and then when we moved to dinner at La Bibliothèque I had “Perception of Beauty” which which was lush and a real beauty of flavour. I enjoyed all the food from the appetisers all the way through to dessert. Amazing! I will definitely be back. Thank you!

Having lived in this neighbourhood for several years I’ve always struggled to find a local go-to restaurant for any occasion. La Bibliothèque has all of that. It’s a restaurant you can dine in whatever the occasion really; chilled weekday dinner or a spectacular eating experience when you want to celebrate something.

I’ve dined here a few times now recently and it always lives up to expectations. Service is always spot on and I like that they change dishes on their menus after seasonality and availability.

This is the second time I have been and it was as amazing as the first time. The set menu is such great value, and oh the bread. The wine matching was a lovely accompaniment and the explanations really helped. The venue is beautiful and seemed perfect for every type of occasion.
