Destination for South African braai, steaks, and serious wine with standout hospitality; excellent meats and biltong trolley, but pricing and occasional service delays can sting.
Vivat Bacchus Farringdon delivers exceptional food quality anchored by confident steaks and engaging South African specialties, supported by strong wine pairing expertise and attentive personal service. However, inconsistent steak execution and occasional service delays prevent grade A territory. The distinctive wine and cheese rooms elevate the experience, making it competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants for meat and wine enthusiasts.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive (mains £30-50, sides extra) which may surprise casual diners
