The Bon Vivant was opened in September 2008 by Stuart McCluskey with an idea to create an environment that was similar to those found on the continent; where dining is often informal and casual yet of a very high standard.

Realised I had been to the same place before albeit under a different name. Dark and cozy, French style restaurant. Had a lovely selection of Festive bites to start followed by a succulent cod fillet which flaked effortlessly. An impressive cocktail list was perused over and had a Freezer Martini. A little pricey but well worth it.

5/ 5

Had an excellent dinner here. We were looking for something nice but not overly fancy, and the atmosphere here was perfect for that. Service was friendly and we didn't feel like we had to wait too long for things to arrive, even though they were very busy, so props for that. The food was all very nice; not exceptional, but we didn't come here looking for an expensive fancy meal, so again that's full marks. The drinks were the main attraction however. The cocktail menu was fantastic; it always makes me happy to see such a wide array of the classics represented, and there were no pointless changes to recipes for any reason which is also another pet peeve of mine. You order the drink, you know what you're gonna get, and it was damn good. The gimlet that I had was fantastic! And price was very good too, everything was around the £8 mark which is very competitive. I should also mention that they had a deal where you could order a selection of their smaller plates (called bites) to share, and the price of that was very good too, so if you wanted to come here for drinks but didn't want to sit down for a full meal you could still order some small plates to line your stomach. Very nice, will definitely be returning here. Apologies for the quality of the pictures, we had had a lot to drink by this point. They were really very good!
