About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Innovative
Great for fine wines

A taste of South Africa.

Vivat Bacchus is a South African restaurant and wine bar, offering sustainable, seasonal menus along with an impeccable South African wine list. Whether you’re dining with us, hosting a party or wedding in our private spaces, taking a tour of our wine cellars or cheese rooms or joining our regular wine events, we’re all about simplicity and consistency – good food and great wine, time after time. We feature rare breed meats, grilled to perfection, making us one of the best restaurants in Farringdon.

The decor, slightly industrial with open ceilings, exposed pipes and ducts creates the feeling of being in a working winery and an unpretentious, no nonsense atmosphere. Fans whirring in cheese rooms and wine cellars stocked to the brim leaves one with no doubt where the focus of the business lies.

Exceptional service with kindness, hospitality and attention to detail. The table service was efficient and I really enjoyed the cheese cave experience. Food was excellent, so was the wine choice. Thanks to all the staff for making our dinner time so nice.

Excellent food and exceptional wine. Service was friendly and prompt. Ambience lively but a bit noisier than preferred for holding a conversation. Ask for a table at the sides of the room to have a quieter location. Highly recommend.

A good Saturday night experience at Vivat Bacchus. Had a lovely Pinotage from the good selection of wines, friendly and efficient service and lovely food. I ate vegetarian and my date ate meat and both were good. The atmosphere was buzzy without being OTT so you could still hear yourselves speak. I will definitely go back again.
