Buvette

Buvette What Our Friends Are SayingThe Infatuation: "Take a French bistro, place it in a skillet, and let it reduce for 24 hours. What you’ll wind up with is a more concentrated restaurant with a lot of personality and very little elbow room. In other words, something like Buvette... Buvette’s dinner menu is about the size of a birthday card, and it’s divided into a few sections of small plates. The first two (Tartines and Legumes) are mostly just snacks or sides - like a pile of shaved carrots and a potato gratin with chunks of pork belly - and further down, you’ll find some slightly larger things. We especially like the mildly spicy merguez sausage, the rich coq au vin, and the lobster l’Americaine that’s essentially a miniature pot pie. But the very best time to eat here is actually the morning. Your brain might evaporate if you witness the crowds at weekend brunch, but you can (and should) stop by early on a weekday to eat a croque madame with prosciutto or a waffle sandwich that comes in a pool of butter and maple syrup. And don’t forget the steamed eggs. They’re worth being late to work for, and possibly even quitting over, depending on how much you like your job."Eater: "This beloved all-day cafe from chef Jody Williams (Via Carota) has uniformly delicious offerings for any mealtime that include, but aren’t confined to, some bistro standbys. A morning (and Instagram) standout is the delicately steamed eggs, served with proscuitto and parmesan or smoked salmon and creme fraiche. Lunchtime and dinner bring a range of salads, steak tartare, and a trio of croque sandwiches. The lovely, snug space can feel cramped during really busy times, but come for a late weekday breakfast for (slightly) more breathing room. For weekend brunch, the wait can be quite long. There are also outposts in Paris and Tokyo."

There are very few things we love more in the world than an authentic and quintessential French bistro. And few bistros in America can truly pull it off. Buvette is one of them. This restaurant is certainly not large (so be prepared to wait in line a bit) but its flavors are anything but small.
