About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood 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.

    Incredible night. Everything about this place screams attention to detail. The service was one of the best I had for a long time, the food is just impeccable where the ingredients do the talking instead of fancy egoistic techniques. Overall just a really good place.

    The restaurant is relaxed and welcoming, the menu offers a relatively small but very interesting choice and the wine list is reasonably priced for a restaurant of this quality. The service was excellent. Our waiter, Lars was attentive but not intrusive. His knowledge of both the menu and wine list was extensive and he helped us make choices that ensured we had an excellent evening.

    Thank you so much for such a brilliant meal and for making us feel so welcome. The gnocchi parisienne was delicious. One day I will learn how to pronounce Jurancon correctly :)
