Bon Vivant is a chic cocktail bar and restaurant with a laid back continental ambience situated on Thistle Street in the city center. It is a cozy little drinking den lit by flickering candles and sparkling glassware and swathed in dark wood and soft leather. They stock a wide range of wines, champagnes, beers and spirits but the main draw is the ever changing cocktail menu. The bartenders are very well versed in their art and happy to design bespoke cocktails if nothing on the menu takes your fancy. Mixology may take center stage here, but you will also find a wide ranging menu covering tasty little tapas style dishes, more substantial bistro style main dishes and some wickedly indulgent desserts.
