  • Neighbourhood 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.

    Just incredible as always, my first time trying the Sunday lunch and it was the best I’ve ever had. The quality of the beef and the celeriac puree were just amazing. My mums first visit and she can’t wait to return!

    Friendly welcome on our second visit to our new favourite bistro. Charming and knowledgeable explanation of the new dishes to us on the menu which felt a personal touch. Attentive and chatty service throughout the meal. Our varied choice of starters were all very good. Some big flavours accompanying the mains, especially the delicious duck. Portion sizes perfect for our healthy appetites. Overall another great experience for a small family celebration. Many thanks, hope to see you again soon.

    Fabulous French bistro. Superb service - really relaxed, helpful and all round great. The food is wonderful - seasonal and so delicious. I’m vegetarian and was delighted with all 3 courses being roast vegetables tart, goats cheese pithivier and Paris Brest for dessert. My non veggie friends were super impressed too. First visit but definitely won’t be the last as this is my new favourite restaurant.

    First time at Bavette. Originally unable to book on preferred date but slot became available nearer the date. Food good but could have been hotter. Family vineyard wine was interesting. Quite noisy. Staff excellent. Would go again

    Not sure what all the fuss is about! I felt rushed chosing what to eat and several of the dishes did not live up to my expectations. Lobster bisque did not look appetising, duck over cooked and the tarte tatin was burnt with a bitter tasting caramel sauce. My son is a chef so I know what good food tastes like, I was disappointed to say the least.
