Perfect in every way

Beautiful ambience and our waiter was very attentive, the only minor gripe was when the food came, I asked the young lady server if she could please remove the head from the giant prawn, she was not amused at all. It was only one prawn and I asked very nicely.

Your feedback has been noted and will be shared with the team to ensure we continue improving our service. We hope to welcome you again soon for an even better experience. Guest Relations Manager

We decided to have our, late, company Christmas lunch here and it was so good we got there at half one and left at seven pm. No side eye, no "we need the table", just good food, awesome ambiance and good time. Despite the weather, but that's not on them 😏
Bougain Restaurant & Garden BarThank you so much for your lovely and thoughtful feedback, Rute. Even when the weather isn’t on our side, we believe Bougain can still feel special. We always do our best to create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere so our guests can relax, unwind, and fully enjoy their time with us. And whenever we don’t need the table back, we’re more than happy for our guests to stay and feel completely at ease. It was a pleasure having you and your friends with us, and we very much look forward to welcoming you again soon. Guest Relations Manager

Nice place with lovely decor. The duck was delicious and the service was very attentive at the beginning but then after the main, no one paid any attention and no one said good evening to us upon leaving. That was a pity as it was good up until that point. Wine mark up is considerable but it's a lovely place, no doubt.
Bougain Restaurant & Garden BarThank you very much for your feedback, Claire. We apologize for the lapse in attention after the main course, this is not the level of service we are known for. When the restaurant is full, it can be challenging to maintain the same level of attention throughout, but we regret that it affected your experience. We look forward to welcoming you back soon and providing a flawless experience from start to finish. See you soon!!! Guest Relations Manager

The 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 BarThank 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

The 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 BarThank 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

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

Bougain 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.
Bougain Restaurant & Garden BarThank 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

We 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 BarThank 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

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.
Bougain Restaurant & Garden BarThank 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

The toilets are very dirty, needs to take care of it..
Bougain Restaurant & Garden BarThank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Tatiana. Cleanliness is one of our highest priorities!! Our maintenance and cleaning teams follow strict daily protocols and continuously service the facilities throughout both lunch and dinner hours. However, we do recognize that during periods of peak occupancy, maintaining our usual high standards can become more challenging.

Service 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 BarThank 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 BarThank 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
