I have been coming here for three years and have never been disappointed. I am so glad there is a great vegetarian restaurant near me and I hope they will be around for a long time. Today my daughter and I celebrated Mother’s Day at Manna. I had the Wisconsin stuffed hash browns. Yum!!

Farm-to-table

Milwaukee

About the restaurant

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.

EsterEv was fantastic! A great mix of casual atmosphere and next level food! Had the 8 course tasting menu and we let our server decide what the dishes would be. She picked some great ones. We left fulfilled but not stuffed and can’t wait to go back again soon!

Fabulous menu! Tempted to order "one of each!" Decided on the wild mushroom ravioli and a side of asparagus. Entree was exceptionally good and the asparagus was cooked perfectly. Our server was attentive but not hovering. A very enjoyable visit.
