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.

The Food was fantastic - good selection of meat and wine. Service was fairly average, the waiter was quite slow to respond (and it wasn’t hugely busy) plus he didn’t seem to know what the menu options were. Apart from the service, I would come here again as the food was very good and good value for money

This is the third (or fourth?) Time me and my friend have been here. Never expected it to become a semi regular place to eat! The food is excellent, as is the service. Plus if you like your wines then this has an excellent choice.

A very nice experience overall! The SA wine that I had again (Paul Cluver Pinot Noir) was superb & the ox cheek main delicious. If I were to point out potential improvement points, then it would be portion sizes. I would have liked to have a bigger plate for the price.

Absolutely fabulous place. Came here with a friend to catch-up. Service was excellent, our waitress was informal, attentive and very friendly. Food was fantastic. Well cooked, full of flavour (we even had dessert and that was equally as good as the mains). Also ordered some wine. The wine choice is excellent and that persuaded us to have a cheeky port with dessert too. All in all a fantastic place to eat and drink. We will be coming back again very soon!!

We've had a lovely time dining in your restaurant again, Anna and Karl were looking after us and it was a great experience. Karoo lamb was delish! Biltong was too dry, wine was excellent! Look forward to going back. Thank you Anna and Karl.
