Bavette Bistro has scooped a coveted Bib Gourmand from the Michelin Guide after opening just last February.
The highly anticipated Michelin awards were hosted in Glasgow last night, and whilst we didn’t take home a star we did take home a just-as-esteemed Bib Gourmand.
Bavette in Horsforth opened last February, and it has really been collecting accolades and awards ever since, but this time it is the biggie.
This distinction is the guide’s way of recognising restaurants that offer good food at a great price and share the same spirit of generosity and a commitment to quality cooking.
All of this can be said of Bavette Bistro plus loads more.
Run with lovely Sandy and Clément at the helm, Bavette offers brilliant french cookery at reasonable prices alongside a carefully curated drinks menu and above all else, unbeatable service by wonderful people.
Here’s what the guide said: “From baguettes to bavettes, there’s something so overtly French about this terrific neighbourhood bistro that it’s a wonder they don’t have the tricolore flag hanging outside.
“Its unlikely location in the Leeds suburb of Horsforth is a result of the relationship between Leeds native Sandy Jarvis and Frenchman Clément Cousin, who met while working in some of London’s top restaurants. Clément runs the chatty service, while Sandy is in the kitchen working on keenly priced Gallic classics – expect to spot delicious renditions of the likes of pâté en croute and shellfish bisque.”
Another local restaurant to receive the Bib was the Engine Social Bridge in Sowerby Bridge, whilst Skof over in Manchester took home a Michelin star.
Congratulations Bavette, this is such an incredible achievement that is so greatly deserved.
