Bob Bob Ricard City

Bob Bob Ricard City sits on Level 3 of the Leadenhall Building, the tapering Richard Rogers tower the City knows as the Cheesegrater. Leonid Shutov first opened the room as Bob Bob Cité in 2019; after the pandemic it reopened on 26 October 2021 under its current name, brought into line with the Soho original. The interior, by Shayne Brady, takes its cue from the Royal Yacht Britannia and the modern superyacht: lacquered hardwood, polished brass, mirrored panels and an all-booth layout that turns the whole floor into a sequence of private nooks. Every table carries the house signature, a brass "Press for Champagne" button.

The menu is classic British and French, running from caviar and escargots to Beef Wellington, with one of the City's deepest Champagne and Burgundy lists alongside large formats up to methuselah. Three private dining rooms, modelled on the salons of the Royal Yacht, open off the main floor: two intimate Blue rooms each with their own Champagne reception area, and the larger Red room for bigger gatherings. The full restaurant can be taken for exclusive hire.

The booth-lined floor, enclosed private rooms and late midnight close make it a strong fit for an intimate, music-led City celebration where the room itself does the work.
