This is the second time we have been to Bavette. We were a little disappointed the first time, so we decided to come back thinking we might have come on a bad day (tough steak and overcooked chips) given how good reviews have been. Whilst we were a little more impressed this time, we were still a little underwhelmed and think a 4/5 rating is justified by the food quality/price/service/atmosphere. We won't rush back, but will happily come for a nice meal out in Horsforth again when the time suits.

Fantastic little neighborhood French bistro. Every dish was super tasty and well presented. The staff were all super welcoming, friendly and helpful and they had an exceptional selection of wines.

Amazing. Id heard a lot before we went about how good it was and it did not disappoint. Amazing service, so friendly and went above and beyond with giving us one of the snacks because our table was delayed. Which we had not even really noticed as we were happily choosing which wine to order. The food was so so good and some really nice wine, the only thing we did wrong was too much savoury meaning no room for desert but I will 100% be going back and will save room for creme bulee. I highly recommend and the hype does not disappoint. Great little restaurant

We had one of the most memorable and exceptional dining experiences here on Friday evening for our wedding anniversary. We received a thoroughly warm welcome, in the gorgeously chic yet cosy space, exceptional service throughout, and incredible food. We shared the croquettes, shellfish bisque, and house baguette with butter, followed by the Cote de Boeuf with sides, and to finish, the chocolate sabayon and a Paris-Brest. All beautifully accompanied by one of the Bavette natural wines. Honestly, faultless. The atmosphere was buzzing and vibrant without being overpowering, the music was excellent, and the service was just the icing on the cake - knowledgeable, warm, chatty, a real sense of customer focus and a genuine care that we had an enjoyable time. It was also wonderful to see such a mixed demographic of clientele and this made us feel that this is truly a neighbourhood bistro. Everyone is welcome. Exceptional food - Exceptional service - Exceptional and standout addition to Yorkshire and (luckily for us) our local area. 11/10 can’t wait to return ❤️

Been to Bavette several times now. This place makes you feel better from the moment you walk in, good atmosphere, chilled environment, food prepared with love, changing menus, and both owners are in almost always making sure the food & the service are up to standards. Love Clement & Sandy and truly appreciate bringing this passion to Leeds!
