Whether you're a steak lover, a curious foodie, or just looking for the best steakhouse in London — we’ve got a table ready for you.

A Celebration of South African Food in the Capital

Vivat Bacchus brings a taste of South Africa to London with menus built around quality, sustainability, and seriously good meat. From our dry-aged steaks to our hearty classics and house favourites, every dish is about flavour, provenance, and passion.

Proudly Serving Rare Breed, Dry-Aged Meats

Our reputation is built on our love of meat. We serve only the best — rare breed, grass-fed beef, aged in-house for a minimum of 35 days in our very own meat fridges. The result? Deep, concentrated flavours, and rich marbling that make every bite count.

Rustic and Seasonal, Done Right

South African food is all about simplicity and soul. That’s exactly what we serve. Think comforting dishes inspired by braai culture, using seasonal, daily-sourced ingredients from trusted producers. It’s food that speaks for itself.

Something for Everyone — Not Just Steak

Not into steak? No problem. Our menu includes fresh seafood, vegetarian options, and lighter plates too. Whether you’re after bold, spicy, or classic, there’s something here for every appetite.

Why Vivat Bacchus is a Must-Visit London Steakhouse

We may be known for South African cuisine, but it’s our passion for great meat that puts us on the map. With two bustling venues in Farringdon and London Bridge, our warm, unpretentious approach makes us a go-to spot for steak lovers and food adventurers alike.

The VB Dry-Aging Difference

In-House Aging for Superior Flavour

Our steaks are dry-aged right here in our meat fridge, a method that intensifies the flavour and tenderness of the beef.

Sourced with Care

We only work with producers we trust, sourcing rare breeds and ethically raised meats that align with our values. That means you get better taste, better texture, and a better plate.

Cooked to Perfection

From a thick-cut Sirloin on the Bone to our popular Fillet, all our steaks are grilled to your liking — simply seasoned, expertly rested, and served with your choice of sauce and side.

A True South African Welcome

Beyond the Plate

At Vivat Bacchus, it’s not just about the food. It’s the experience. From wine cellar tours and cheese rooms to our ever-popular wine events, we offer more than just dinner — we offer a slice of South African hospitality in the heart of London.

Warm, Knowledgeable Service

Our team knows their stuff and loves what they do. Whether it’s helping you choose the perfect wine or guiding you through our dry-aged cuts, expect a friendly, down-to-earth welcome every time.

Two Locations, One Great Experience

Whether you visit our Farringdon or London Bridge location, you’ll find the same attention to detail, same sizzling steaks, and the same passion on every plate.
