About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Neighborhood gem
Innovative

What started out as a butcher shop concept, has evolved and changed over the years to become a full-service restaurant, which was solidified with the restaurant's move to a larger space in 2022. At Bavette, the consumer will enjoy complete transparency of its food moving from farm to plate. Although the butcher shop has been phased out, the restaurant still works with the same farms, and uses the same high quality meats on its menu, which consists of a daily changing menu consisting of salads, sandwiches, small plates, pates, cheese, and charcuterie boards. The restaurant truly is a farm-to-table restaurant, sourcing not only the meat but most of its produce from nearby farms. In addition to the highly seasonal menu, there is a small store featuring chef-curated retail items, such as Wisconsin cheeses, local charcuterie, artisanal jams, pickles, salts, vinegar, and oil. Going along with the thoughtful menu is a select and unique offering of craft beers, wines, and cocktails.

Bedrock Wine Dinner
$120.00 per person
May 20, 2025 only
Join us for a 5 course wine dinner featuring Bedrock Wines, part of the "new Cali" movement, dedicated to taking advantage of the diverse terroirs of California and their capacity to make an enormous range of styles, be it delicate and perfumed rosé, barrel-fermented whites, or violet and pepper-tinged Syrah. They are always exploring—from the heart of Oakville in Napa to the northern reaches of Mendocino and gold hills of Amador, the vastness of Lodi and the beaches of Contra Costa to every corner of Sonoma. Each year, if they are lucky, they’ll find something quirky and new. Throughout all the wines, though, is a dedication to making wines that maintain poise while being infused with California sun. And, most importantly, that are delicious. Bedrock Wine Co. was started in 2007 by Morgan Twain-Peterson. Working out of a small converted chicken coop in a friend’s backyard, Morgan focused on making personality-filled wines wrought from a small array of thoughtfully farmed vineyards. Over time the chicken coop and its outdoor fermenters and tiny basket press gave way to production at another friend’s winery and eventually to the “elegant” tin-sided warehouse that is now called home.

Had an amazing dinner at Bavette La Boucherie tonight! The service was flawless, attentive without being overbearing, and everyone made us feel right at home. The menu was inventive and beautifully executed, with flavors that hit all the right notes. But the real surprise? Dessert. Do not skip it. Save room…you’ll thank me later. Bavette continues to prove why it’s one of the best spots in Milwaukee.

Our waitress was Lily, and she was AMAZING! We were unsure about what to get, but once we told her what we were going for, she had great recommendations. The food, aura and drinks were all perfect!

Always a great meal. Bavette is one of my favorite places to eat. Food is always delicious and the staff is always wonderful. I hope they never get rid of that Korean steak sandwich. It's so good.
