Loved this place so much we came back again! We stopped in here one day for lunch and got the croque monsieur. Very delicious. Came back for brunch another day. The granola was amazing. The cappuccinos are to die for. We also got the special green juice of the day and it was incredible. Highly recommend. The place is really cute inside with a number of tables. I haven't gone for dinner so reservations may be needed. The service was really great and all the workers were amazing. read more

This is a wonderful restaurant with delicious food. I've been there twice, for lunch and dinner, and it was so cool and delicious. Nice staff and atmosphere. Delicious wines and cocktails. I recommend making a reservation because it gets crowded:) read more

Food is always incredible. It's cramped and rushed. Service can be hit or miss, but highly recommend to anyone.

I preferred the NYC one way, way more, which is a bummer. The coffee/latte was okay, the beets were delicious but everything was very oily. The egg and goat cheese toast was okay but again, it was way too oily. Probably never coming back to the Paris location. read more

Buvette - My latte. I think they tried the leaf. - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Had the most amazing dinner. Thank you Max for being a wonderful host. We had an amazing meal. The drinks are delicious. We had the French 75 with gin and the sidecar with Cognac. Amazing drinks. For dinner we shared many plates. We had an all meat fest charcuterie plate. We had the bone mare that was out of this world. Don't worry, we had the asparagus, so we did get our vegetables. We had two toasts (1 ham and cheese, the other mushroom and cheese). With our dinner, Max recommend two absolutely wonderful wines. A Pinot noir and Chablis for my wife. Thank goodness it was a mile plus to walk to the apartment. Thank you read more

The food was delicious. Kimi was our server and the service was outstanding, got great food recommendations.

With its French eclectic interior that's warm and fresh, to the fabulous preparation of the always classic croque madame, and incredibly friendly service. This place is always on the "gotta go" list. read more

Great food. Lovely atmosphere. Large wine list. We were able to walk in on a Monday night and enjoyed it immensely. Not a latge menu but everything was delicious. read more

My husband and I adore this restaurant. Great location, away from the tourist areas. You'll enjoy your meal with locals. The food was amazing. The patient server kindly translated our menu and provided great suggestions on food and wine. We were fully satisfied and stuffed, yet craved for more. read more

The only reason I can think of as to why this place doesn't have 5 Stars is probably because it's off the beaten path. This place put out one of the best breakfasts while in Paris that it warranted a second visit. Everything ordered here was just amazing!! The French Toast sat on a bed of custard and it was not overly sweet at all, it was just right. The waffle sandwich just worked. The Croque Madam, was my favorite. You have to try this place for breakfast if you are ever in Paris. read more

Great hole in the wall serving delicious French tapas. The server went out of his way to translate the entire menu for us- which was so so helpful and much appreciated! We were able to order the coq au vin which came in this tasty red wine sauce and mushrooms that captured all the flavors beautifully. We followed with the "shepherds pie fish" and while good, wish we would have ordered the beef shepherds pie because that looked fantastic. The only thing I could have done without is the dessert. The apple pie was pretty soggy. Highly recommend: coq au vin, and the fish shepherds pie read more

A Ball of Béchamel. Very cute, cozy and comfy restaurant. Reminded me of my home, Manhattan. Good service and great cocktails particularly the modern "Vieux Motte." The Food: mediocre. I live in Paris and decided to order a half Croque Monsieur and Half a Forestier, which the chef is renowned for in NY. As the daughter of a New York Times best selling James Beard award winning chef, I am not batting from left bench. An avid novice chef myself I have mastered a gluten free french and mediterranean kitchen, making Béchamel at home is easy and a little time consuming with Thomas Keller gluten free flour, but well worth it when making chicon. Finish your Béchamel!!!!! Please do not serve the unassuming American this croque monsieur for them to believe that THIS is France. This is not France, this is a poor attempt of an American capitalizing on tourists in Paris. Perhaps it was a Sunday, the chef de cusine and sous chef off, maybe people were tired, who knows. There are certain things that bother me in a learned kitchen and they are when chefs forget what they first learned, that of sauces, stocks and making a roux. I don't want the roux in my sandwich, I want the frim fram sauce finished in satin and then put some ham in it, It's not a bread sandwich, overload the mushrooms if that what you are eating instead of a protein. That's about all I have to say... Well one more thing... The Jazz and Big Band was kick ass! Gene Krupa and Benny Goodman make me leave on a happy note. Sacha Boutros La Monmartoise read more

Buvette - French Near Me - Paris, 75

After a long day at Versailles, my friend and I were hungry and in search of some good food. We pull up Yelp and head toward Buvette. It is such a cute little cafe and the staff is super friendly. We ask in some pretty terrible French if they have an English menu, which they don't, and start off google translating the words we don't know. Luckily, our waiter then asks us in perfect English if we need help with the menu and translates and explains everything. He gave us some recommendations and was super nice. He also kept our water refilled during the entire meal (a difficult task considering we went through three bottles of water over dinner...we were probably a little dehydrated). We shared the Pesto aux Noix, Octopus Salad (forgetting what this was called), and Coq au Vin. The Pesto aux Noix was nice and rich. I'd never had anything like it, but enjoyed the savory nutty spread. Glad we shared this though because I don't know if I would have wanted that much more of the spread. The Octopus Salad was my favorite! They put a bunch of octopus in there and it was just the perfect amount of chewy. Lots of greens too, just what we wanted. I'm normally not a Coq au Vin person and I didn't love the one here, but the chicken was well-cooked and my friend went to town on the sauce. Good food and excellent service. Would definitely come back! read more

We stumbled across Buvette and were very pleased. The server spoke excellent English and literally read and translated the entire menu for us. Of note, the buratta cheese with cherry tomatoes was excellent. We tried the marrow; good to try and cooked perfectly. All of the plates we sampled and the service was excellent. The only downsides: the street was a little loud with motorbikes (we sat at a sidewalk table) and we were approached by two vagrants, separately (they were not aggressive and departed). Overall, very tasty Parisienne food! read more

This was a cool little place with very tasty food. Tried a few different items: Chicken liver on bread was surprisingly good... very similar to pate. This is an appetizer dish and comes with 2 bread slices. Coq au vin tasted fairly nice. This was my first time having this dish. Chicken was cooked well and was quite juicy. The gravy had a fairly strong wine taste. Smoked trout was only okay ... my least favorite dish of the night. It actually consisted of potatoes and smoked trout, but unfortunately was primarily potatoes. Drinks are on the pricey side (including sodas for 6 euros!) read more

We may be a bit biased, as this restaurant was the first place we ate anything at in Paris once we landed, but the cuisine was incredible and the atmosphere was cosy and hospitable. Our server spoke English very well, and eased the tension of not speaking French fluently. He was very patient, as we stayed there for hours sampling various cuisines. We ate the charcuterie to start, with a great red wine chosen by our server. I had the parmentier de Canard-duck with smashed potatoes on top, and it was stolen by my wife once she tasted it. I however, did love her dish- les Croques. A ham and cheese sandwich that is fried, smothered in cheese outside, ooh la la! We traded happily! After that she had a latte and I tried the chocolate tea. We were allowed to stay and chat without any bother. I'm sorry for those that had a bad experience here, but we will return for more. For our first Parisian meal, it was an amazing experience. Please check out this place that's off the beaten path and ready to serve with a smile. read more

This is where I had my last meal during my last night in Paris. I found this restaurant thanks to a friend's recommendation. It was a beautiful candlelight dinner. My server, Jamie, was super sweet and gave great service even though it was his first day. I started off with the Chevre et Pestou Tartine- an appetizer of Goat Cheese, Pesto, & sun-dried tomato on toast. It was soft and exquisite. Next I had the Asperges Blanches (Chilled White Asparagus) which were surprisingly delicious- as I've only had grilled asparagus before. The main dish was Coq au Vin (Chicken in Red Wine) which was served in a little pot with 2 pieces of chicken and a generous amount of wine sauce. Dessert was a beautiful seasonal fruit tart and a bottle of lusciously sweet Loupiac white wine. It was a proper goodbye meal to the city of love that's both amazing by day and magic by night. read more

I wish I would have written this review sooner, while the memory and details of this lovely place was still fresh in my head. I will say that my family and I dined here in our last night in Paris in early February and it was magnificent! Literally the best meal we had in Paris! I had the traditional coq au vin and although the serving was small, it made up for with so much richness and flavor, ugh it was just delicious! My husband's meal was just as good (something with ham and cheese that looked like it was baked in a dish) and again, while there serving portion was small, between the wine that we had, the food was more than enough for us! Ambience, it was small and warm and dimly lit with beautiful, jazzy music playing and provided us the experience we were looking for in France. And the dessert? Oh my heavens it was the best chocolate cake of my life! Incredibly moist, perfectly baked, rich but not too rich, and the sour cream whipped topping was the perfect compliment (tarte and fresh). Our menu was in French and servers only spoke French with very little English but something they were able to tell us what was on the menu and were quite friendly. My one regret was not taking a picture of the amazing wine bottle we shared so I could try and find it here in the states or online. But if I ever get an opportunity to visit Paris again, this will be my first stop! read more

Small restaurant offering solid brunch. Go with some knowledge of French phrases to get you by. 5 stars for -- Freshly, squeezed orange juice that tasted as if the oranges were picked at optimal ripeness. Best croque monsieur I've ever had. Toasted buttered slabs of bread sprinkled with rosemary. Inside filled with gooey gruyere cheese, a slice of ham, and a creamy Bechemel sauce. It was very filling and satisfying. Great, welcoming customer service and a wonderfully charming ambiance to start my day off right. read more

Buvetto was my first stop in Paris, and within good reason. Firstly, how many restaurants can you name that have only two locations, and they're in completely different continents? Uh yeah, exactly. Buvetto is an excellent choice if you can snag an early table! Then you can sip on their fantastic wine selection while you watch the crowd rapidly grow out the door. The charcuterie and fromage selections are excellent here. Can't read French? Just ask your server for their recommendations and they'll bring out the best. We had a really soft and fresh Brie, tender slices of ham, and rabbit confit (surprisingly delicious and not gamey in the slightest). Also their foie gras was fantastic--and I am by no means a foie gras fanatic. For the main entree, the server recommended the coq au vin--it ended up being delicious, though the portion was quite small. Really hearty and flavorful, I wish my chicken in wine sauce came out this good! All in all, great experience and I'll definitely be visiting their New York location as well! read more

Get the croque madame! It is totally legit here. Stuffed full of delicious ham and cheese, buttery toasted bread, and cornichons on the side that pair perfectly with the sandwich. We enjoyed every bite! We also got the croque forestier which has mushrooms in it. Again, superb. So cheesy and grilled to perfection. Ended the meal with tarte tatin. Crust was quite soggy in this one so I'd say to skip it. Stick with the sandwiches and you'll be thrilled. read more

Buvette is a bruncher's haven! The croque madame was unique in that they present it as an open face sandwich. It had all the flavors: salty thinly sliced ham, crunchy bread, poached egg and grated cheese on top. The waffle was nice and crispy topped with fresh fruit. The avocado toast wasn't bad. Just needed a touch of salt and pepper. What came as a huge surprise was the incredibly simple but delicious yogurt with granola. It sparked our own attempts to create the homemade crunchy oats/clusters and sweet berry reduction syrup. They don't take reservations. So there was about a 20 minute wait for a table. We actually opt to eat at the bar which was great because you can see the cooks assemble the plates with the fresh local ingredients. Kev from A Dreamer's Holiday www.adreamersholiday.com read more

Imagine all of the popular pictures of trendy, cozy restaurants on Tumblr, Instagram, or Pinterest: exposed brick walls, mismatched furniture, flea market-sourced decor, aesthetically pleasing menus, and a rustic (yet modern) atmosphere. Not exactly something you'd imagine on a quintessentially narrow Parisian street lined with Haussmann buildings, is it? Buvette feels like an up-and-coming, yet unpretentious hipster hangout. Our server was a friendly American expat who spoke fluent French, so while my friend who lived in Paris ordered for both of us because the menu was in French, don't let the language barrier stop you from visiting. I had the pesto aux noix tartine and a glass of pinot noir, both of which I would recommend. (However, I didn't feel like this was a very filling dinner, so don't hesitate to treat yourself to dessert.) Buvette isn't a tourist trap, but it's also a stone's throw away from the Sacré-Cœur if you're pressed for time during your visit to Paris. read more

Best caprese salad! We stopped late afternoon on a very hot day and enjoyed a quiet late lunch of salad and rosé. Friendly staff.

Was a nice spot. Entered this spot after we arrived in Paris from a flight from Barcelona. We was honestly truly hungry and tired and just wanted an amazing meal. When seated we asked for scrambled egg instead of the sunny side up eggs because I don't really like runny eggs touching my food. They kind of gave us a hard time trying to adjust the order, I just wished they could've accommodated us or just remove the egg which I was fine with. Overall decent experience. read more

A local merchant recommended Buvette to us, and he did not disappoint. The smaller restaurant was wonderful, and welcoming. A dog friendly space with a ton of options on the menu left us with a great impression. Pictured below are the salmon (which was shredded), the beat plate, their mini menu (book), and our cozy table. See you next time I'm in Paris!! read more

Best Croque Madame in Paris. Excellent service. Wish I could give more that five stars. End of review.

The service alone warrants one star. The female waitress that night must have been in need of inspiration or a hug or a pat on the back. She was horrible and let you feel it. The decor of this little spot is beyond charming and tasteful. Paired with great service or even just a smile, would have made our visit that much better! My cocktail was great and made with a generous hand. The small dishes we could have passed on. Even the bread was disappointing. Just stop by earlier in the day before her shift begins to enjoy a drink and some nice decorative touches. read more

The food is amazing! The service was great and the restaurant has charming decor. If ever in France again I would definitely go back. Highly recommend it! read more

In my week staying in Paris I went to Buvette twice - it's worth going back to. The mini croque madams were amazing. Great wine selections. Everyone spoke English and was very helpful. it is a very small, cozy cafe style setting. The decor and atmosphere definably add to the charm. read more

I truly enjoyed the food but unfortunately ended up with severe food poisoning after eating here. This was my first and only meal of the day so I am certain it was their food what got me sick. It is a great place for brunch nonetheless, very flavorful food. The service is great, they try to accommodate to your needs as much as they can. Excellent wine menu. read more

So, I've been to the Buvette in New York City and LOVED it and forgot about the fact that there was one open in Paris too! Lucky for me, I turned to Yelp was in the neighborhood and decided to give it a go based on my lovely experience before. I'll start by saying it was my favorite croque madame I had in Paris all week. And guess what? It's made by an American ;) Love it. The quality of ingredients were fabulous, the small social setting was intimate and fun but, the best part for me was the creative wine map of France that offered the wines by the glass. It made it easy to identify where the varietals were from so I could explain to my friend. Check this place out for brunch if you're in Paris. I'll be hitting the one in Tokyo next time I'm there for the trifecta! read more

I was so happy to find this restaurant on yelp. It was a short distance from my hotel, so I walked over. I walked in, and was greeted bonjour. I sat at a table in the front to people watch. I ordered the Les croques cr'q monsieur after seeing a picture on yelp. It was delicious!! For dessert I ordered the carrot cake. It had a sour cream like whipped topping that I was a little skeptical about. After my first bite I was a huge fan. The service was good: my food came out fast and everyone spoke English. read more

Buvette is part restaurant, part bar and part cafe. We went for dinner on a recommendation. They don't take reservations and by the time we got there at about 7.30pm it was pretty busy. Service was great, waitress was lovely. The food was also delicious but this is definitely a place I would recommend for lunch over going for dinner. If you do go for dinner order smart. There are 4 sections to the menu (see photo) and it's a selection of medium plates. The waitress recommended two but if you're hungry I would go with 3. I had the shrimp and the steak tartare, my partner had the mousse de fois and the coq au vin. He made the smart choice and sadly I did not, but it was delicious. Mainly a menu fail on my part, if I had chosen another dish I would have left full. read more

I have to say, my boyfriend loves eggs and absolutely demanded we go here so he could have an eggy thing. I was skeptical because it looked a bit too hipster for my taste but I didn't want to have him go eggless so I agreed. It was cute inside and small, and full of American tourists at the bar. It's a safe space for people too scared to try out where the French are eating. It's familiar, we have loads of brunchy spots like this in the Bay Area. We both had a Croque Madame. It was pretty small. One egg, one egg-sized bread base. It was, however, extremely delicious and cheesy with lovely ham on top. Very pretty but not so much as a lettuce leaf on the plate to accompany it. Usually, when I order a Croque there is some kind of side salad or potato. Nada. For this reason, I will say it is far too expensive for what you get. We also ordered some craft beer for 7 euros and I was sad to see it was just a normal bottle of beer, not even a draft pint. Beer can be had anywhere in Pigalle for far less. I'm glad he got his egg fix but I won't humor him next time when there are so many other places nearby for a lot less where I don't feel "right at home", high prices and all. If I'm in Paris, I want to feel like I'm in Paris. read more

Had a great breakfast here before leaving Paris. Nice, low key place with great service !

This cute little cafe was a nice stop for MY breakfast. My cousin on the other hand didn't have the same experience. When we arrived, we sat at the bar and waited some time for service because there were no English menus but the waitress was able to give us help. However, after asking clarifying questions to ensure my cousin who is vegetarian would receive a croque madame (I forget the vegetarian named one- croque monsieur?) with mushrooms and no meat she got the one with meat THREE times. My waffle sandwich on the other hand was pretty tasty. While we understand we're in a different country, they still charged her for clearly being unhappy so for that I'm giving a B- and would likely find somewhere else to find a waffle sandwich and better service. The second pic is the adorable chihuahua who wanted a bite of my sandwich the entire time... read more

So glad I stumbled upon this cute restaurant on my walk this morning. Not only is it a lovely stop for a coffee or Sunday brunch, but they also have full lunch and dinner menus too. They're also well stocked with wine, making a return for apertifs a great idea! Bring your visitors here, since it's just off-the-beaten path enough not too feel touristy, but you can still speak English with the staff. Décor is adorable, with a French Country, yet Parisian vibe. Will definitely be back with my husband, kids and guests! read more

Brunch or dinner - I can't get enough of this place. There's almost always a wait but often if you don't mind sitting at the bar (I love sitting at the bar) and are only two people you can get a place a little quicker. The best things on the dinner menu are the walnut pesto tartine, the Brussel sprout and pecorino salad and whatever special they have. Seriously - what ever their special is, take it. It's always in season and perfectly seasoned. To end, the best chocolate mousse I have ever tasted. The cocktail menu has all the classics and the choice of wine (and the wait staff's knowledge) is vast. Brunch you are safe with everything but make sure you order a croque of some kind. Every part of it is great - crunch bread, tangy cheese, perfectly cooked egg. read more
