About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
We’re delighted to introduce Bavette. A neighbourhood bistro filled with warm engaging hospitality, with a menu of seasonally led classically driven dishes.

We hope to get that balance of generosity and quality right - that juxtaposition of every day special.

Bavette is a love letter to our favourite places we’ve been to and been lucky enough to be a part of.

Sandy Jarvis and Clément Cousin.

    Incredible 35th Wedding Anniversary meal at @bavettebistro tonight. The food was so good, the best steak tartare I've ever had. I was too full for desert so had to help Pam with her Paris-Brest desert. We had: Comté Cheese Croquettes Chicken Liver Parfait, House Brioche, Apple & Onion Chutney Steak Tartare, Beef Fat Crisps 500g Sirloin on the bone, Dauphinoise Potatoes, Purple Sprouting Broccoli, Frites Chocolate Mousse Paris-Brest, Caramel & Hazelnuts Service was 👌

    Whatever you have read or seen about bavette it's true. It was superb, other than the food being top notch I have to hand it to the staff, the service was impeccable, attentive from the moment we walked through the door, they were very knowledgeable and passionate about the food and drinks they were serving. A Credit to the business The bistro was very clean and the atmosphere was energetic I loved it The chocolate mousse Paris-Brest was too good to share. We can't wait to go back.
