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.

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.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review, Bruno. Your feedback is noted and will be carefully considered as we strive to continuously enhance the experience for all our guests. We look forward to welcoming you once again!!! Guest Relations

Bougain Restaurant & Garden Bar • Owner
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Tatiana. Cleanliness is one of our highest priorities!!

6/10Service was slow. We asked the waiter to turn on the heater about 5 times. It was cold and we sat outside. Lamb dish and my grouper dish were just average. Not bad. Not great. The green rice that was served with lamb was delicious. The ambiance I'm sure is amazing in the summer but in our case it was too cold to sit outside. That's our fault.
Bougain Restaurant & Garden Bar • Owner
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us, Mr. David. We’re very sorry to hear that the service was not up to our usual standards, particularly regarding the delay in turning on the heater while you were seated outside. We understand how important a comfortable environment is for an enjoyable dining experience, and we are addressing this issue with our team to ensure more attentive service. However we looking forward to welcoming you again very soon to completely exceed your expectations from start to finish. Guest Relations

Amazing restaurant and food, cannot be disappointed, only thing that made me not giving a 10, is that, to my opinion, you should avoid placing 2 seats tables next to 8 seats ones, as you straight up have to shout in order to speak to your guest. Beside this, go ahead, cannot be disappointed as I stated.
Bougain Restaurant & Garden Bar • Owner
Thank you so much for your feedback, Mr. Allard. We truly appreciate your kind words. Regarding your suggestion about the table, we really appreciate it and will take it into consideration for your next visit. We look forward to welcoming you again soon!!! Guest Relations

Beautiful garden, lovely atmosphere and excellent sevice. I had two vegetarian dishes that were fresh but not very tasty. My husband had prawns for a starter and beef as a main course, both courses tasted very well. We shared a marenge for a desert, that we did not like. Good experience but maybe not the best restaurant for vegetarians.
Bougain Restaurant & Garden Bar • Owner
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Anna. We are sorry to hear that the vegetarian dishes did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will take it into consideration as we refine the flavors of our vegetarian options for the winter menu. We are always happy to make adjustments to ensure that all our guests have a satisfying meal. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon. Guest Relations

9/10Such a lovely restaurant. the food was great, especially the starters - we had prawns alijoli and the tomato and burrata salad, both excellent. I had the cod loin and my husband had the octopus. We had side dishes of gratinated artichoke and grilled lettuce hearts. My dish was very tasty. The artichoke was very good but the lettuce was just ok. My husband had the tiramisu which he loved. The waiting staff were all very attentive and friendly. Overall a really great evening.

8/10Delicious Steak Diane, cooked medium rare; the menu described it as au jus with mushrooms, but it was actually in an herbed cream sauce, which some might not intend to eat. You can't substitute rice in lieu of French fries, unless you pay full price for the substitute. My glass of wine finished off the bottle without it being a full pour; another bottle should always be opened and a full pour executed. These factors should be considered by any restaurant of this status and price-point. Two quite noisy tables were a bit distressing to other diners but there's nothing a restaurant can do about that!
Bougain Restaurant & Garden Bar • Owner
Dear Susan, thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. Your feedback is valuable for us. We apologize for any confusion regarding the sauce description. Regarding the wine service, we strive to provide a full pour and regret that this wasn’t in case. We appreciate your understanding about the noise level from other tables, while it can be challenging to manage. We hope you will give us another chance. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon. Warmly, Guest Relations
