The Snottiest Restaurant in The World

Fleming by Le Bilboquet is a New York restaurant that doesn’t share its phone number online. It doesn’t have anything at all on its website other than a button which you can hit to email its management (at [email protected] if you dare) and supposedly its staff are instructed to check up on any ‘applicant’ before deciding whether to consider letting them in.

Seating about twenty covers only, “clubby bistro” Fleming by Le Bilboquet’s staff, the New York Post reported recently, instructs its staff to “pull up each unknown guest on Google.” They even give their staff a page long document title: “Fleming Hostess Reservation Protocol” and of their reasoning one waiter told the paper: “We want to keep the restaurant for special people only.”

Asked what makes someone “acceptable,” another employee answered simply: “[They have to be] rich.” They say money and taste don’t necessarily go together; Fleming by Le Bilboquet is indeed the restaurant that personifies such. We won’t be urging our readers to bother frequenting it.
