What People Are Saying…

“Lovely restaurant minutes away from London Bridge station. They offer a nice and varied menu focusing on meat and fish but they also have some vegetarian options. Nice wine list and we loved the cheese room! The staff are very welcoming and polite and service was quick and on point.”

— R Brs

“Vivat Bacchus is a South African restaurant mainly focused on meat and wine and you can find some real South African specialties there including Ostrich steak.

You'd be pleased to hear that the Ostrich steak was absolutely delightful and we even enjoyed it more than their staple rib-eye on the bone!”

— Jana Abelovská

“A fantastic steak restaurant situated moments away from London Bridge. The staff were fantastic throughout the evening and the food was excellent. Highly recommended!”
