From the French alps to Sheffield
Pierre & Zara



Hi, we’re Pierre and Zara, a couple bringing together Yorkshire roots and French culinary heritage. Zara is from Barnsley and Pierre from the north of France, where he worked as an executive chef in a two Michelin star restaurant.
We met during a ski season in the Alps, built our life together in France, and eventually chose Sheffield to create our shared dream, drawn by its incredible food scene, creativity and culture.
As we opened our doors, we also welcomed our son, Léon. Aux Bon Vivant is a reflection of our life together, indulgent food, good wine, and a relaxed place to enjoy the good things in life.
Our Concept
We don’t do everything the way everyone else does. At Aux Bon Vivant we pride ourselves on simple food full of flavour, and creating a space where everyone feels at home when they visit.
That’s also why we don’t take reservations. We want guests to relax and enjoy their time without feeling rushed. In the same spirit, we don’t offer formal table service, the idea is that when you are at Aux Bon Vivant, you feel as comfortable as you would in your own home.
As we continue to grow, we’re also looking forward to hosting special events, including evenings with live music and other experiences. We’re still new and learning what works best for us and for your experience, and we’re excited to keep building something special together.
