I went for happy hour on a chill Thursday evening, and stayed for dinner until closing time. From…read more5.40 pm to 10 pm. Nobody could get me out. I couldn't leave. The food and the vibe had me in a spell. The place is located in a quiet residential street, off the busier Jersey Avenue. The entrance is inconspicuous, with only the neon sign letting you know you might be in the right place. It looks like the back entrance of a kitchen, but as you climb down the metal stairs, you enter in a world that can be described as chill, elegant, and unpretentious. Forget the trashiness of Downtown, with 40 year old alpha wanna bes flashing their cash on overhyped basic food and watered down cocktails. Madame is for serious people, far from basic. There isn't one item in the menu that sucked. I cannot drink, but that didnt stop me from enjoying myself, because the food was outstanding. The first dish were thr oysters: Pacific and Maine oysters. Both incredible with their subtleties. Then came the bone marrow with the braised beef and baguette. The marrow spread like butter on the perfectly seasoned baguette. The braised beef had a mild sweetness to it due to the onions, and it complemented the savory baguette. Then came the patè, and rhe roasted Brussels sprouts with apple and parmesan. The Brussels were so great, that it could get every child in the world to finally eat vegetables. To top it all off I had the creme brulè cheesecake with a warm cup of americano. I was done. I was at peace. By then, it was closing time, and...I didnt wanna leave...I would have gladly stayed and clean the kitchen. I ate at the bar, the place was not crowded at all and lounge music was playing in the background. It is walking distance from the Grove path, so if you are commuting back from work and are looking for a quiet and relaxed place with Michelin level food, stop by Madame. You will feel rejuvenated. They got a regular out of me

The menu comes with 3 courses, appetizers, entree, and dessert from $60. From the appetizers I would recommend getting the Foie Gras Au Torchon, Ravioles de Royan a la Creme, and Escargots a la Bourguignonne. With the Entrees I would recommend trying the Braised Rabbit Dijonnaise. It was the most unique dish and very flavorful. It may be a bit salty for some people. From the dessert menu, they had two homemade ice cream: vanilla and banana. The banana tasted really good, no artificial bananas taste, but the vanilla was a bit bland. Their other two was delicious as well and worth trying.

Buvette was able to accommodate me for an early dinner shortly after my arrival in New York,…read morespecifically the West Village. Buvette is one of five W. Village eateries helmed by power-chef duo Jody Williams and Rita Sodi; four are within a block of each other. I passed the other three (Bar Pisellino, Via Carota, I Sodi) on my way and all had lines out the door. Carota and Sodi are Italian, Buvette is French. There are 2 other Buvettes in Asia and one coming soon in London. Buvette does not do reservations. Buvette is a charming but tiny/cramped space, made more tiny within the last year by NYC's removal of pandemic-era street patios which greatly helped dining capacity. Buvette may sometimes have a few front sidewalk tables, and there's a tiny outdoor patio in the back. The tables and dishware are also tiny. There's a kitchen in the back, but some food is also prepared below the bar in front, where there seem to be some ovens. The food seems reliably consistent here. The menu is short but there are daily specials. I ordered a non-alcoholic ginger soda, crab tartine (a special), lobster a l'Americaine (lobster pot pie) and frites. The soda is always on the menu and is refreshing, with a nice snap of ginger. The crab tartine was fab, a fresh crab salad with avocado atop toast. The lobster pot pie was made in the under-bar oven, a small serving of lobster and veggies with a golden puff pastry topper. Delish. The frites were nicely crisp, served with an aioli. Service was okay, but my hot food took about 45 minutes to come out, apparently because my ticket was lost. Overall a pleasant meal, my first during this visit.

First of all, the space is stunning. The bar, table, decor and everything looks expensive and exquisite. I mean, they do serve caviar on the menu afterall, enough said.

The cocktail wasn't really to my liking and I noticed I didn't get a strawberry garnish. It's still quite aesthetic, but that's all that this place is. It's pretty and pricey.
