About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Great for creative cocktails

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.

A truly delightful and delicious experience! We were celebrating my daughter's wedding eve. The staff was so welcoming and celebrated right along with us! Everything we tried was delicious--the small plates made it possible to try a lot! It's a meat-forward experience, punctuated with lovely fresh, local produce. A wonderful evening! Highly recommend!
