A
strong accent on rare South African wines is the focus of the 5
well-stocked cellars. The owners have had close relationships with many
of the Cape's top winemakers for the past 20 years. Being a City
restaurant Vivat Bacchus has the necessary French Collection - fabulous
vintages of excellent wines - , a great representation of Spain and
Italy and the New World. The wine list is almost non-existent here;
diners select their wines from the cellars. With more than 20 000
bottles and 1000 labels this is fun! With the constant stream of SA
wine personalities visiting us diners are often surprised to find their
wines served by the actual winemaker.

Vivat
Bacchus is an 80-seater fine dining restaurant in the heart of
Farringdon. Since the opening in August 2003 it has given the London
diner an opportunity to 'get close' to mouth-watering wines from all
over the world. The concept of selecting your wine straight from the
cellars has proved to be very popular indeed.

Chef
Robert Staegemann changes the Modern European menu every 4 - 6 weeks to
keep it fresh and seasonal. He gets inspiration from the Pacific Rim,
Africa and wherever else his fancy takes him! Simple, elegant,
delicious and well-prepared fare takes precedent above all. The 'set
lunch' menu offers fantastic value; the 2-course (15.50) menu changes
daily, whilst the 'specials' at night is generally red meat orientated.
His famous Springbok is always available.
