  • 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.

    Amazing food knowledgeable helpful and friendly staff. Only downside was the cold draught every time the door opened

    Dear Kate, It was really lovely to have you again. Thank you very much for another great review. I'm sorry about the draft. We'll look into getting a nice curtain for the front door. See you next week. Best. Clément.

    Third time at Bavette. Bit disappointed today: saucisson brioche starter bland, tarte tatin dessert overcooked. Shame but maybe losing attention to detail after a well received start. At £200 for lunch for 2 needs to be consistently excellent and just wasn't. Hope this was just a blip....

    Dear Duncan, We are sorry that your third visit didn't match the first two. Your feedback is much appreciated, and we hope to have you again to redeem today's lunch. Best. Clément.

    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!

    Thank you so much, Alara! It was great to have you back. It's lovely to read that you enjoyed our Sunday roast. See you again soon. Best. Clément.

    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.

    Thank you so much, Susie. It is such a lovely review to read and means a lot to us and the team. We will be looking forward to having you back soon. All the best. Clément.

    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.
