Vivat Bacchus The Vivat Bacchus London restaurants celebrate rustic, robust food, artisan cheese & quality wines,
(668)

Vivat Bacchus has become known for the range and quality of its wines, its cheese rooms and the innovation and flair of its modern European menu. With two restaurants, in Farringdon and London Bridge, its South African owners have introduced London to a passion for wine and food rarely experienced in the capital. That’s why we were voted one of the Top 5 UK restaurants for service by Harpers & Moët & Chandon. Note: Keep an eye on our website & social media for COVID-19 opening times.

NEW DATES: Passport to South Africa: Cape Malay Flavours 🇿🇦
Explore the flavours of Cape Malay with 2 food samples, 3 wine tasters and a £20 voucher for just £30 per person.

Cape Malay cuisine is where South African food gets its fragrant, spice-laden soul - born from the cooks and traders brought to Cape Town from Southeast Asia centuries ago. Cinnamon, chilli, and a touch of sweetness, all in one plate. You’ll taste two iconic food staples, including a Samosa and Cape Malay Chicken, served alongside a flight of three wines.
