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.

    Bavette is one of our favourite places to eat – we’ve celebrated birthdays, anniversaries and new jobs here over the years, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with staff who are attentive but never overbearing – they really strike the perfect balance. The food is always outstanding. It’s clear a lot of thought goes into the menu, which changes regularly, so every visit feels a bit special and different. Everything we’ve tried has been beautifully cooked and full of flavour. What really sets Bavette apart for us is how relaxed it feels. Unlike some restaurants where you’re in and out quickly, here we always end up losing track of time – chatting, enjoying the food and just unwinding. It’s the kind of place you want to linger. I highly recommend Bavette, you will not leave wanting – it's a unique and rare gem.

    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 👌
