About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
We’re delighted to introduce Bavette. A neighbourhood bistro filled with warm engaging hospitality, with a menu of seasonally led classically driven dishes.

We hope to get that balance of generosity and quality right - that juxtaposition of every day special.

Bavette is a love letter to our favourite places we’ve been to and been lucky enough to be a part of.

Sandy Jarvis and Clément Cousin.

    Visited for Sunday lunch based on the rave reviews I’d read and it didn’t disappoint. Delicious food and great service. Fabulous roast potatoes and gravy. Worth the train ride and walk from Harrogate. Looking forward to visiting again.

    Fabulous food and fabulous service - just the most welcoming hosts, passionate and unpretentious serving simple but outstanding dishes in a warm, buzzy atmosphere. Clem shared his family vineyard photos and story at the end of a really memorable meal with friends . We all loved everything - impossible to pick a stand out dish but the signature Bavette steak is divine with the best chips I’ve ever tasted! We will return!

    Absolutely incredible experience at Bavette! The food was delicious and beautifully presented, great atmosphere and the service was fantastic. They even allowed my dog to come along which was a real treat. One of my favourite restaurants in Leeds!

    Incredible local restaurant, couldn’t have been more impressed. Wine list is sensational and some really well priced options to suit different budgets which I always appreciate. If you’ve been sleeping on this then don’t, you won’t regret it.
