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 little pricey for some menu items - $8.00 for very small bread service and little butter. $1.00 for on the side mayo for hamburger.

Fabulous experience. Service was phenomenal. Food is delicious. And the provisions store is always a treat. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Creative cocktails. Divine wines. The staff works exceptional well together. I loved sitting by the open kitchen. Great team work! I'm going back for sure.

Bavette is a fantastic spot for high-quality food in a casual yet refined setting. The ingredients are always fresh, and the menu offers a creative mix of flavors that feel thoughtful and well-executed. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the attention to detail in both the food and presentation is evident. Service was friendly, though at times a bit more familiar than expected. Overall, a great place for a delicious meal with a focus on quality and craftsmanship. Looking forward to returning!

Never disappoints! Starting with: to say the food is delicious, does not do it justice. Staff is second to none.

Bavette has the best roast beef sandwich I’ve ever eaten, and there is no close second. It’s pricey but worth it. Absolutely delicious. Attentive service, casual but professional ambiance.

A former colleague and I met here for lunch. The food was very good - a bit eclectic and unusual, but tasty. The service was attentive and helpful, without hovering. Overall, a nice and comfortable place for lunch. I do think they have outrun the market on their price points, so be aware of that before you go (I am not sure if this carries over onto the dinner menu).
