What does it mean to live like a Bon Vivant?
A Bon Vivant is not just a person. It's a movement. It's a feeling. It's a way of life. It's an understanding that we only have one life to live, so we might as well live it enjoying the best life has to offer.
​
It could be someone who fancies oysters and champagne on a not so needed basis. But it could also be someone who knows where to get the best sandwiches in the city.

A Bon Vivant is not your average foodie. A BV believes that being a foodie is a way of life, not just a character trait.
It's someone who understands that food and hospitality are one in the same. It is someone who naturally brings people together, typically in the presences of food and drink. It's someone who feels honored to bring people together at a table to share a meal and understands how truly special that is.
​
Company. Comfort. Connection. Conversation.
