Great restaurant! The owner Gerrie makes the place, he is friendly and remembers his customers! The food is phenomenal and great for a work lunch or after work meal!
Brilliant. Whether it’s a typical fat boy City lunch or just a quick plate, this place rocks. Great variety and quality from the kitchen,, some left field dishes from South Africa and lunchtime pies to die for! A superb wine list and a good social scene too with regular, superb value, wine tastings. Ceri the owner is a top bloke, very welcoming and great fun. A go to restaurant for sure.
Serious food and wine in relaxed surroundings. Vivat Bacchus is a restaurant/.wine bar that takes food and wine very seriously, and presents it in a relaxed (and often buzzy) atmosphere. There’s a number of different rooms for different purposes (including private rooms) so it’s worth having a chat to the staff if you have something special in mind. I’ve visited a few times – the food is varied, reliably good and well-presented, whether you go for the deli / tapas type options or the more upmarket options from the kitchen. Service is friendly and well-informed, but can feel sparse in the bar at busy times. They have wines that you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else (according to their suppliers at wine talks), and their wine cellar is extraordinary (again, anecdotally from someone I sat next to at a wine dinner who’d had some sort of late night lock-in with the owner and some growers). There’s something to suit all budgets. I normally eat from the bar menu, which offers sharing plates and tapas as well as more formal dishes, and you can go and explore their cheese room and have a customised platter made up. Their wine club dinners are always interesting, with (excellent) food designed to match the wines rather than the other way round, and the Monday wine tastings are good value and entertaining. It’s well worth signing up to their mailing list if you’re interested in food and wine, but it’s also a good local wine bar (to me) for casual drop-ins.
Christ on a bike. Coffee, mushroom ravioli, Parmesan consomee.WORST THING I HAVE EVER PUT IN MY MOUTH (Maybe my Wifes steak at Seasons…..)
Let down by the atmosphere. The food’s pretty good – the crocodile spring rolls were interesting – but the downstairs restaurant is absolutely lifeless unless it’s packed, and when that happens the service staff disappear. wine was, as you’d expect, good but pricey.
