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.

    On the surface Bavette appears to be expensive. But for us the food and service are outstanding and worth every penny. This is our second visit and we are looking forward to the next one. Thank you for a fabulous experience.

    What a meal !!! We started with the snacks - bread and herb butter and croquettes (incredible)- then French onion soup and the Parfait - also amazing. Then shared the sirloin steak that was faultless. The recommended wine was perfectly paired and a shared dessert was divine. Service was excellent- and I didn’t realise they are dog friendly!! Will definitely return - thank you for a fabulous lunch 😍

    A very high quality lunch and experience albeit not a budget meal. It’s certainly a cut above most regular offerings. Recommended but budget accordingly.

    Simply fabulous. Beautiful food that is imaginative and impeccably cooked. Warm and knowledgeable team who clearly take pride in their work. Nothing is too much trouble despite the success of the last 12 months. Oh and the chocolate mousse Paris-Brest was incredibly delicious!!

    Our dining experience at the restaurant Bavette was lovely however we felt the food came out too quickly between courses. The service was good and the server both for wine and food were well informed and explained everything. Overall a good experience

    Consistently excellent, it’s honestly hard to fault any aspect of the place - the food, the setting, the service, and the overall atmosphere, are all great. We’ve been almost a handful of times, and have always been satisfied with our time there. Can’t wait to go again!
