Our experience at LBV was exceptional. Our favourite starters were the springbok carpaccio and the crispy duck. For my main I had the beef short rib gnocchi which was delicious.Their wine selection was affordable and great! The head chef walked around the restaurant and greeted the customers and asked if they were enjoying their food. The service was great with attentive and friendly waiters. The ambience was relaxing and cozy. Affordable prices all round. We will definitely be coming back!!

We had a 30th themed birthday party in their Link room with their wine pairing menu. Loved it! The staff were superb and food incredible.

Having been to LBV a few times before, I've never been less than impressed with the generous portions, friendly service, and delicious food. So, when we decided to do a combined Mom's birthday/Father's Day/Youth Day (Yes, June 16 is lit in our household) lunch booking, LBV was a no-brainer.

The 3-course set lunch actually turned out to be 3 courses, plus an Amuse-bouche to kick things off (a buttermilk rusk topped with confit duck, beetroot caviar, and garlic mayo - delectable!) and a refreshing virgin Pina colada palate cleanser before dessert.

My uninspired crew all chose the roasted cauliflower soup for their starter, which I'll admit was deliciously hearty and perfectly balanced with a hint of truffle. Served theatrically in two phases, the soup itself was poured over a garden of micro-greens, parmesan tuile (unbelievably tasty in itself), and cauliflower purée. Defying the cauli-cult, I started with the chicken liver Pâté, served with perfectly browned crostini and crispy bacon bits. The starters set the tone perfectly and everyone was raving about the opening salvo.

Once again, the fam ordered in solidarity, choosing the pork belly main. As the main attraction arrived the first thing everyone remarked on was the portion sizes - two huge chunks of pork belly clad in some of the crispiest crackling I've ever tasted, resting regally on a bed of truffle parmesan mash, caramelised apples, and bacon, accompanied by a little jug of pork broth to be poured over. Obviously, it was gastronomic greatness - rich, moreish, bursting with simple yet refined flavours.

My main was the beef fillet with parsnip purée, roast potatoes, carrot dust, and mushroom panna cotta, garnished with a generous marrow bone. Ordered medium-rare, it was cooked to perfection. Butter-soft fillet that seemingly melted in the mouth. Superb!

Finally, we ordered an even split of the two dessert options - Apple crumble with vanilla ice cream, salted caramel sauce and apple bites, and a medley of some kind of chocolate ganache, raspberry sorbet and hazelnut truffles, with a strawberry glaze and topped with fresh, diced strawberries - to share. It was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, with the raspberry sorbet emerging as the fan favourite.

I honestly couldn't fault a single aspect of the meal, it was simply exquisite, and, considering how large the portions were, that kind of value for money (R295 per head), without compromising on quality, is almost unheard of.

Finally, another major highlight of the day was our waiter, Issue. Amiable, animated, and knowledgeable, he made the whole experience that much more enjoyable, and he even brought us a celebratory round of Amarula shots, on him, when we mentioned mom's birthday.

One negative aspect I must mention - the main motivation for this review, in fact - is that the restaurant was relatively empty and has been on past occasions. This could come down to the fact that LBV is tucked away in the back of the Cramerview centre, making it a quintessential 'hidden gem', but, honestly, if you're looking for an unmatched, gourmet dining experience, without the posh pretense (or pretentious price), LBV is second to none.

We visited LBV on a Wednesday during their restaurant week special. The venue is great. Safe and secured. The staff gave us a warm welcome on arrival. We ordered drinks which was separate from the set menu. Every course was plated beautifully and tasted amazing. The flavours of the fishes blended amazingly with one another. We will definitely be back!

My family and I decide to visit this place for restaurant week... Had a really good menu, food was very tasty and beautifully presented.... The truffle fillet was the winner.... However we waited 45 min to get our mains after starters and felt like was a bit too long... I would be back and was a good experience overall

Very, very underwhelming (3 hour) experience. Spent a small fortune on the tasting menu for Valentine’s and really came away feeling hard done by. Extremely disappointing. Waiter was nice, so that gets you an extra star.

Magnificent experience. Dining at its finest. Did the 9 course wine pairing menu. Excellent sommelier introduced all the dishes and the accompanying wines. Each course was a masterpiece. Delicious flavours and textures, each course elevating the experience. Each course got better and better than the next. Personal highlight was the springbok dish. Young chef came to the table later and introduced himself. He is really awesome with such skill at his age. Only great things ahead for him.

I'd never heard about LBV until my husband made a booking with them for Restaurant Week. 

Their food was out of this world! We had a set menu (as is standard with Restaurant Week bookings) and were blown away. I couldn't believe this place had been under our radar until now. 

The first thing you notice about LBV is how casual and relaxed the atmosphere is. There are no airs and graces when it comes to the staff, management or the chefs. They are eager to help and are happy to create beautiful food for their patrons. 

Their vegetarian selection is a little on the light side but whatever I could eat, was divine! Their prices are a little high but I think definitely worth it. 

They have created a beautiful, relaxed space for people to enjoy stellar food!

Good food and good portion size! Service was excellent and general experience was great!
Had the pork belly, which was fantastic. One of our friends said the food was slightly dry. Also, the desert was not quite on the standard of the mains, but still good!

LBV had amazing food and all the flavors just caused utter delight. Magnificent smells slipped away from the kitchen. The ambiance was cheerful while staying peaceful even with many people in the restaurant.

We had the Crispy Duck and Calamari as our snacks. The duck was tender and sweet with a hint of bitter. The calamari was delicious and the garlic mayo was creamy.

We had Exotic Mushroom Tortellini and Pork Belly as our starters. The tortellini was rather mild and I enjoyed the light flavor. The pork belly was juicy with the crunch of crackling during a bite.

I had the Beef Short Rib and I have never tasted such classy and authentic food! The short rib was juicy and tender with no bone in site. Crunchy pumpkin fritters accompanied the delicious beef.

Dessert was not possible with our stomachs full. I definitely recommend LBV and love every little detail! On the pricey side but worth it!

Been here twice. Cosy restaurant with plenty of parking. Wine by the glass is Around R60 - we took our own bottle and was charged R60 corkage. Service was quite pleasant. My husband had the starter portion calamari and pork and I had the starter prawn. Was really good and well presented. Service was pleasant and the staff are really friendly. Yes I would recommend LBV.

One of my top 3 favorite tasting menu restaurant. The price is not bad for a 9-course meal. Each dish looks beautiful to eat and it tastes good!

LBV Bistro is a wonderful dining experience with great service. There is also ample safe parking. The food was of a high standard, delicious and expertly presented on high quality crockery. LBV is great for date nights and for group of friends.

Went to LBV to celebrate my 30th with a lovely dinner. I was not disappointed! The atmosphere and staff are lovely. Once settle, we got an interesting board of flavourful delights. I had no clue there was such a thing as an apple meringue ... who knew apple and cheese tastes good together! The food is incredible - I had the pork belly as my main and the créme brulee as my dessert. I highly recommend the pork belly! The pork was tender, the mustard mash and bacon brandy jam were unique and divine and the crackling... so crunchy and light! I'll definitely be back for that dish. A definite must.

Tasting menu at LBV in Bryanston. There were 9 courses in total. 6/9 of the dishes were great. Lots of techniques being used in all the dishes, may be some refinement is needed to perfect this menu. Fantastic service by all the staff.
