About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Charming

What started out as a butcher shop concept, has evolved and changed over the years to become a full-service restaurant, which was solidified with the restaurant's move to a larger space in 2022. At Bavette, the consumer will enjoy complete transparency of its food moving from farm to plate. Although the butcher shop has been phased out, the restaurant still works with the same farms, and uses the same high quality meats on its menu, which consists of a daily changing menu consisting of salads, sandwiches, small plates, pates, cheese, and charcuterie boards. The restaurant truly is a farm-to-table restaurant, sourcing not only the meat but most of its produce from nearby farms. In addition to the highly seasonal menu, there is a small store featuring chef-curated retail items, such as Wisconsin cheeses, local charcuterie, artisanal jams, pickles, salts, vinegar, and oil. Going along with the thoughtful menu is a select and unique offering of craft beers, wines, and cocktails.

This was a perfect Saturday late lunch. Everything was delicious and very interesting! The chicken liver mousse with pistachios was the highlight. Our server Meg was also great. Thanks for a great experience!

One of the best meals we’ve ever had. The agnolotti was out of this world, as was the tartare.

The food is amazing. We had the Pork Chop and Black Garlic & Ricotta Agnolotti and they were both out of this world. Filthy martini was delish as well. Would definitely do this meal on regular repeat.

Food was great, drinks weren’t our favorite. Took a little long to get our order in and food in between. We were 15 min late to our reservation so maybe it was our fault. But overall our experience was positive and we would recommend!
