Visitor Information
Restaurateur Leonid Shutov, founder of Bob Bob Ricard, is turning the former Lloyds Bank flagship branch in St James's Street into a 250-seat restaurant, Biblioteka, serving "English classics and Russian delicacies". At 20,000 square feet it's one of the largest restaurants in central London, almost twice as big again as Quaglino's and roughly the same size as Brasserie Zedel, and £9 million has been set aside for the interiors. The restaurant's name - Biblioteka is Russian for library - hints at how the interiors have been designed: the walls of the restaurant display the impressive wine collection like books. This includes "over 100 vintages of Chateau d'Yquem, Krug Champagne going back to 1915; and top Bordeaux including Chateau Haut-Brion, Chateau Margaux and Chateau Cheval Blanc extending back to 1937", according to a report in the Evening Standard. With Michelin aspirations, the restaurant is "the last word in luxury" (Telegraph) with simple food expertly presented in "London's most talked about dining room interior".
