They often do interesting exhibitions and May (the owner) is very approachable.
Definitely should hook up next time something interesting comes up!

Hong Kong based sreetart restaurant with a veritable who's who on display. A few Banksy's, Basquiat's, Roa, Kaws, Invader's, Hirst's (in the toilets above the urinal no less!) - bet the food isn't too bad either! Some of the OG's these guys have amassed are simply jaw dropping
Quite a few decent shots on their IG:http://web.stagram.com/n/bibohk/

Visit HONG KONG 🇭🇰 Street Art, Galleries, Events, by johnnyh on May 1, 2014 13:11:35 GMT 1, It's just opened and I am hoping to go there when we are next in Hong Kong
Foods a bit poncey but. It has had some good reviews both for the food and the art work which by all accounts is as mentioned mega
With wine a meal for two is about 250-300 quid so I have heard ...so not cheap.

Visit HONG KONG 🇭🇰 Street Art, Galleries, Events, by trax51 on May 2, 2014 9:43:56 GMT 1, Fantastic place…. no doubt about it.
But I'm wondering if the whole thing make sense….:
- This restaurant was opened by Bibo, an HongKong street artist…… WTF ! Since when Street Artists have millions to invest in fancy restaurants  ? (except Banksy obviously 
Let's say "two wealthy chinese investors using Bibo as a puppet are opening a restaurant in HK…" would have sound more true to the reality….
And these guys are very, very generous with the artists there, believe me…
Anyway, again… incredible place with fantastic pieces…. but if this is a new trend I am not happy.
If the only way in the future to see great street art pieces will require to spend 300$ on a meal, I think street art has lost his way….
By the way, when is Sincura opening a street art restaurant

I'm sure that at the site of the Foundry (RIP that place, miss it even now) in Old Street they were going to open an art'otel with the Banksy in there being a centre piece, kinda similar to this in some respects. doesn't look like it's happening anytime soon as that place has been empty/not in use for years (a real shame imo)

Visit HONG KONG 🇭🇰 Street Art, Galleries, Events, by johnnyh on May 2, 2014 15:06:03 GMT 1, It is just some rich blokes in HK showing off their art at a restaurant but that's no bad thing. I went to a members club their once taken by an old client and it was stacked with contemporary Chinese and Western art 4 floors full of it worth a fortune way above this in monetary value etc. but it collectors displaying their wares that's a good thing. Note they have not taken or displayed any street pieces, so see nothing wrong with it at all. Most of this stuff is usually stacked in an apartment, house or penthouse somewhere. Yes their rich whatever but FairPlay to them in my view.

Fair point, always better to show and share your art rather than lock it.... fully agree.

Hong Kong restaurant “BIBO” has recently been unveiled, boasting an interior designed by creative agency Substance and furnished with a jaw-dropping curation of street art. KAWS’ Companion sits alongside pieces by Shephard Fairey, Banksy, Invader, Damien Hirst, Mr. Brainwash, Daniel Arsham and JR, in a space that resembles a Parisian diner-cum-art gallery.
In order to tie in the French cuisine on offer with contemporary street art, a new history for the building was created – the abandoned regional headquarters of the fictional “Compagnie Générale Française de Tramways” (CGFT). Things like furniture, train timetables and unused ticket rolls are included as part of the design, inviting the new inhabitants, squatters and artists who gather in the vacated building to share food and ideas. Subway ventilation systems are hinted at through brass pipes while complex light fixtures appear as train signal lights. Abandoned construction sites are referenced through the bars, which are crafted from layers of unevenly stacked marble, with individual dining tables created from misaligned stone slabs.
Take a look inside the space above and be sure to pay the diner a visit should you ever be on Hong Kong’s Hollywood Road.
