9/10The place is beautiful, both the garden and the interior, with a very special atmosphere. The octopus and the entrecôte were tasty and perfectly prepared, and the desserts were outstanding as well. Unfortunately, the service fell short. The welcome was not particularly warm, and there was little attention or follow-up at the table when needed. Regrettably, the service was not at the level one would expect from a fine restaurant.
Bougain Restaurant & Garden Bar • Owner
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us, Mr. Cesar. We are truly sorry, however, that the service did not meet the level you expected from us. Service is a core value of our restaurant, and we are well known for our attentive and welcoming hospitality. Please accept our sincere apologies for this shortcoming, and thank you again for your feedback, which helps us improve. It would be a pleasure to welcome you next year!!! We truly hope to have the opportunity to host you again. Guest Relations Manager

6/10The food is not bad, but the restaurant is overpriced compared to others in the area. Waiting more than 20 minutes just to pay does not exactly reflect the level of professionalism they otherwise try to present.
Bougain Restaurant & Garden Bar • Owner
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, Mr. Frank. We sincerely apologize for the extended wait when it came time to pay. This delay does not reflect the high standards of service and professionalism for which we are well known. Your comments have been shared with our team!! We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon. Guest Relations Manager

6/10The table we were given was not suitable for four people. The waiter was not very friendly and a bit abrupt.

10/10Bougain is a quiet spot in an otherwise crowded city. Personnel, food, drinks: everything is spotless and remarkable. I could just sit there and watch the bartender making cocktails. The food is incredible, you won‘t regret visitting.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Stephan. We’re also glad the short wait for a table in the garden was worth it. It will always be a pleasure to welcome you back. We look forward to your next visit!!! Guest Relations

7.5/10We were a party of 2. The server took special care with his tables of 4 or more and we were constantly flagging down other servers to assist us. We ordered a side dish that didn’t come with our meal and had to ask for it and it came late. We also were not asked if we wanted wine with our meal. Tip should never been automatically included as I would have wanted my tip to go to a specific server who was really the only one caring for our table
Bougain Restaurant & Garden Bar • Owner
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Michell. We are truly sorry that your recent experience did not reflect the attentive service we aim to provide to all our guests. Our team strives to offer the same level of care to everyone, and we regret that this was not your impression due to the service issues you encountered. We acknowledge that maintaining the same level of attention for all guests can be a challenge during our busiest times, but it remains our priority and commitment. We also apologise for the delay with your side dish and for not offering wine with your meal. These moments do not reflect our usual standards. Regarding the service charge, it is always clearly stated on the bill and can be adjusted or removed at the guest’s discretion. Your comments are valuable in helping us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a much better experience. Guest Relations

9/10
We began with a fairly simple starter, with couvert and garlic prawn. The garlic prawns were delicious, the sauce was godly. But the portion was fairly small. For main dishes we ordered the steak Diane and the octopus. But portions were decent and they were delicious. The steak was perfectly on point with what we ordered and the Diane sauce was very good. Smooth, silky and tasty. The octopus was cooked to perfection (tender and juicy) and the romesco sauce worked very well in the dish. The sides for both dishes were good and decent portion. Fries for the steak. And oven roasted potatoes and sautéed kale for the octopus. As for deserts. It’s a mixed feeling. The tiramisu was absolutely divine. Creamy and tasty. As for the chocolate bomb, it just didn’t work for us at all. Not what we hoped for. To accompany the whole meal we had 3 different cocktails. The passion fruit Mojito, Pink sour and palomita. They were good. But the passion fruit Mojito stood out from the rest. Very nice.
