OSTRICH steak with MONKEY gland sauce? . Yes, you heard me! Vivat Bacchus is a South African restaurant mainly focused on meat and wine and you can find some real SA 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 ribeye on the bone! . The starters were equally amazing, BURRATA was extremely creamy and I never had it before with fruit. The Braai Broodjie Croquettes had a creamy center and were served with chutney. . Don't miss the desserts and try their MALVA CAKE which is very similar to British Sticky Toffee Pudding. And of course, they specialise in wine, so make sure to have a glass. If cheese is your thing, you can pick yours in their cheese room too. . Definitely in my top 5 dining experiences this year. Can't wait to go back! . ⭐️Overall rating: 9/10 🙌Recommendation: Ostrich Steak, The Braai Broodjie Croquettes, Malva Pudding 💰Cost: £78pp (without drinks) 🚇Closest station: London Bridge (or Farrington for the other branch) .

Last week we visited Vivat Bacchus in Hay’s Galleria and had a great time. The hostess (Natasha) looked after us all evening and was fantastic. Her recommendations were spot on and we tried a few starters and mains based on these. The food was excellent and we even went on a cheeky tour of the wine room. I recommend the ribeye steak, it was cooked to perfection. Vivat Bacchus is a piece of South Africa in the heart of London. Highly recommend.

This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, wide wine list and wonderful dessert.

Amazing place! The African cuisine is delightful. Last time, I tried the meat, but today I chose the vegetarian option, and it has been a real treat, just like it was last time. The food is amazing! The service is fantastic as well—very friendly and professional, offering excellent food advice on what to choose. Today, I was served by Viktoria, and she was fantastic. It was a great experience, and I will certainly be back. Thank you!

Upon arrival, you're pleasantly greeted before you're seated. The restaurant is very easy on the eyes with its cheese and wine sections fitted into the decorative works. The menu is different from your everyday restaurant, including different types of meat. The steak was definitely valued for money, and the sea bream tasted perfect. Great service and care by the waitress who served us from 13:30 onwards. I'll definitely be returning to try a different course.

I came here for a birthday dinner and it was nothing short of phenomenal! The food was delicious and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even went as far as to explain all of the items on the menu, thanks! I would absolutely recommend and hope to return very soon. Every item was very unique and tasted amazing.

Great location, across from London Bridge train station at Hayes Galleria This is a lovely private place, just off the main road. We had a wine 🍷 tasting session as part of a hen party. It was really good, very enjoyable. A good selection of wines to taste, white, red, a sparkling blush rose and plenty of sparkling water to clean the palate in between. The session included a selection of olives, nuts, bread, crackers and cheese. The staff were lovely, very helpful and the wine sommelier was excellent! The dinner menu, looked enticing and had wild meats to try such as crocodile. I had delicious sea bass, with greens and potatoes for dinner. A very enjoyable time was spent here. I will definitely come here again.
