    5 Stars Bibi's - It Bibi's very good 30/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent food, pleasant staff and atmosphere, not overly pricey

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Long waiting time at busy periods.

    Bibi's is not easy to find. Perhaps that's why it is so busy all the time; it's almost like being invited into some sort of club once you know where it is. Located down a side street, just off one of the main city centre roads, Bibi's is a wonderfully relaxed restaurant, which has a fabulous atmosphere. It's one of those places where, despite the fact that the noise level is always hovering somewhere between "hubbub" and "din", every table seems to be a world of it's own, and it is easy to share a quiet romantic night with the lucky person of your choice. Before I first went there, I had heard ... more

    5 Stars A Proper Italian in the Heart of Yorkshire 24/07/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Gorgeous food, great atmosphere

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Pricey - although worth it in my opinion

    Bibi's is an Italian restaurant situated under the dark arches in Leeds. It is within easy walking distance of Leeds train station and Leeds city centre. The first thing that struck me about Bibi's was how big it was. There is a large bar area where you can just sit and have cocktails or pre-dinner drinks and the actually restaurant is enormous with some tables situated on a balcony area higher up, which gives you a great view of the rest of the restaurant. The second thing that impressed me about Bibi's was its decor - its lovely. Very posh and sophisticated. A black glittery marble tiled ... more

    4 Stars Bibi's restaurant - safe choice, but that is it 10/04/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages live music, safe food, good cocktails

    Disadvantages Disadvantages hard to find, can be expensive, sometimes slow service.

    Bibi's restaurant in Leeds is a good place for a meal or drink, but by no means exceptional. Once you have found it, which is a difficult enough task in itself, it is a well lit welcoming exterior. It is worth knowing the street name if you are traveling by taxi, as my driver had no idea where the restaurant was. It is a very large restaurant inside and important to get there early to ensure you get a good table, otherwise you'll end up in a dark corner. The food is of a good standard, but to be honest it is little more than the typical 'pizza and pasta'. The staff, when I was there, were ... more

    4 Stars A cut above or just another Italian 25/06/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent food, convenient location

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expenisve for what it is

    The food in Bibi's is excellent. No question. And if money was no object than I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant. However, being a student, money is limited and for a meal for two costing over sixty pounds, I had to question whether I would make a return trip. There are numerous reasons to love this restaurant. Firstly, there is no need to book so it is ideal for a meal on a whim (or for those with boyfriends who do not specialise in forward planning.) Being just two of us were seated immediately despite the fact that it was eight o’clock on a Saturday night but there did appear to ... more

    5 Stars The Best Italian 26/11/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great Atmosphere, Great Food, Great Service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not close enough to home

    I have been to Bibis a few times now and I absolutely love going there. The place is always buzzing with an amazing atmosphere. Through the week they have live music; I have never been on a week day but am definitely planning to. On a weekend the restaurant is packed and for this reason they don’t allow you to book, it is just first come first served, which is an unusual way to work but its brilliant and works well here. All the staff used to be Italian which I thought was brilliant, I love the accents however I think they have employed a few English staff now although the majority are still ... more

    5 Stars Bibi's Criterion - La Dolce Vita 30/11/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic menu, great venue

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No reservations for small groups

    Without wanting to sound overly keen, this is the best restaurant I have ever had the pleasure of dining in. I first heard about Bibi's when it was on Greek Street, and have returned several times to its new haunt on Criterion Place. The experience at the old Bibi's was fantastic, and has only improved in its new setting. Walking through the front door is like walking back in time. Surrounded by plush extravagant mirrors, pillars and black marble floors, it looks like something out of a 1920's film set. The cocktail bar off to the right is a great place to start your evening, offering a wide ... more
