Welcoming you

Since 2003

The Vivat Bacchus restaurants were established in Farringdon in 2003 and London Bridge in 2008. South African in origin, we are known for the range and quality of our wines, our memorably stocked cheese rooms and a menu using daily sourced, quality seasonal ingredients from highly regarded producers.

21-day aged Surrey Hills steaks, grilled to perfection

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.

It’s never too early to think about your Christmas party. November party discounts available!

“Try the cheese experience, it’s amazing! Thank you Luca!”

“The service was phenomenally attentive but without being in your face. We had the ribeye which were beautifully cooked accompanied with a delicious red and white South African wine. The restaurant had a wonderful ambience about it with a touch of Jazz music playing live. Perfect evening to a perfect day!”

“Amazing lunch with South African wines! We had the sea bass and a cheese burger, both of which were delicious and acoompanied by South African wines which it seems is Vivat Bacchus’s speciality. We ordered the Paul Cluver Sauvignon Blanc and a Meerlust Rubicon, both of which were well paired with our meals. The crème brulee for dessert was definitely the icing on the cake – it was out of this world! With friendly and attentive service, our meal was a lovely experience.”

“Great experience, would definitely recommend – we had a Virgin Experience voucher, the service was fantastic. We were shown to our seats by Edmond who continued to look after us throughout the night, nothing was too much trouble, he also had a good knowledge of the wine and food. We had the meze sharer starter, followed by the steak, they were both delicious.”
