We all got French onion soup to begin with - it was good, a bit overloaded on cheese though to my liking. But the liquid itself was tasty. I had duck confit as my main course, and it was delicious. My colleague got steak tartar as his main course. The steak tartar came pre-mixed, and one of the ingredients was ... wait for it... ketchup. Yep, ketchup. I had a taste and it was really, really, really bad. I don't know whose wild idea was that, but this completely ruined the dish. Honestly, if this would be my order, this would be a 3 or maybe even two star review. Good service. No recommendation here. It is Paris. There are other choices.

I work for a local winery in the finger lakes region and consider myself of medium knowledge. This broadened my knowledge of the art of tasting and the differences in wine in France.

Our sommelier's service was outstanding and set us up nicely for dinner afterwards. The bar staff was delightful as well!

There seems to be some confusion in the reviews about which establishment this is; there are two…read morerestaurants helmed by female chefs in Paris, one named simply "Buvette" (by the American chef Jody Williams; there is also a NYC outpost of the same name) and one called "La Buvette" (this is the correct page for the restaurant operated by Camille Fourmont). While I love NYC's Buvette, La Buvette is an entirely different sort of restaurant and is my NUMBER ONE recommendation for friends visiting Paris who enjoy natural wine/small plates/a slightly chaotic atmosphere. I make sure to come here as many times as I can whenever I visit Paris, and I've even gone to a La Buvette pop-up in NYC when the chef came last year. I'm definitely a La Buvette groupie. A buvette is a restaurant that sells wine to go and to drink in situ, along with a selection of small plates. While I hate the ubiquity of the term 'tapas' to describe dishes that are not quite entree-sized, you can think of La Buvette's dishes as basically tapas: smaller portions meant to be ordered in multiple and shared over a bottle of wine. The wine selection here is tightly curated and I've never had a glass that I disagreed with -- everything is pretty simpatico if you're into this style of wine, and the staff are quite helpful in steering you toward bottles you might enjoy. In past visits, I've often found myself ordering over half the menu, which is written on a mirror-board on the wall and changes daily. Everything is quite simple, made with excellent ingredients, and quite good. Note: this is not a full-service kitchen, so don't expect an elaborate dinner. Think of this as an appreciation of simplicity and purity of flavor, and you'll have a much better time than if you expect a 10-hour cassoulet or something. Get some cheeses and charcuterie, and absolutely get the big white beans with citrus zest. Savor the flavors. While I'd love for this to remain a hidden gem, the secret has definitely gotten out, and it's not really much of a "neighborhood" establishment anymore. Expect a line unless you get there quite early, and note that you won't have any privacy because the space is tiny, and you may end up drinking your wine standing by a tiny corner of the counter. To me, that's part of the charm, and Camille Fourmont has created quite a remarkable place that I find simply perfect. It's a must-visit in Paris!

First we had the Fuet Catalan - a thin dried flavored Black Truffle sausage. The truffle oil oozed out of every bite. It was a truffle lovers dream come true!! We also order Les pintxos- a typically Basque with Fresh Ingredients piled up on toasted bread The Chèvre Miel was a creamy Goat cheese, drizzle of honey and sun dried tomatoes. Yup We also had the Chorizo & grilled Blue cheese It seriously was the best blue cheese I have ever had. For Tapas Rillettes de thon- Homemade tuna spread with olives & marinated anchovies. The anchovies seriously juscheemelted in your mouth. On the Plates & boards side of the menu we ordered... Cecina Et brebis truffle which is Salted cure beef from Leon, Spain and Black truffle sheep cheese & pine nuts Garlic bread and Serrano ham- Homemade garlic butter and 24 month cured Serrano ham. Nachos- Homemade guacamole, vintage cheese, salsa and peppers The nachos were made with seasoned chips that reminded me of cool ranch Doritos! Tonight was the perfect ending to our stay in Versailles

My 500th review, dedicated to Bubar... This bar is magical…read more There's just something about this spot where you know so much has happened within these 4 walls over years and years. I fell in love with it a couple of weeks ago during my first trip to Paris, where I ended up visiting it not once but twice. It's a dive wine bar, but with so much character, in every nook and cranny. I had read reviews on both TripAdvisor and Yelp, albeit dated. There is no name listed on doorway so could be hard to miss, but something about the red lighting and energy just drew me in. (That and some trusty reviews online...) The first night was a little intimidating at first. A group of older gentlemen, all friends and all seemed to know the owner, were deep into conversation at the bar. However, as soon as I walked in, solo, that very owner, Jean-Loup (he made sure I captured the correct spelling, vs. some renditions in other reviews ;)) warmly greeted and welcomed me. From there on, it was bliss. For me personally it was a pivotal moment because just a few days prior to that, I was still a bit fearful about exploring the city solo with very little grasp of French, but that night, I felt brave and wandered by Bubar. So glad I did. Jean-Loup not only nailed a few wines for me that were all sheer perfection (there's a daunting list but disregard that and just tell him what you're in the mood for because he'll find something spot-on), but offered a small plate of nibbles, after asking if I preferred 'fruits or vegetables'...a sweet, personal touch. I enjoyed a wonderful night just respectfully observing his interactions with his buddies (clearly he is very adored here, and a local staple,) while he checked in on me regularly to ensure I was doing fine. Such an amazing evening. The following night I had to stop by again just to say goodbye. I simply won't be forgetting Jean-Loup and Bubar anytime soon. For anyone reading this who will be venturing into the bar, he mentioned he is not the most tech-savvy but was happy to hear he has so many positive reviews, and that I wanted to write a review (as the last one was from a year ago)...please let him know "Jennifer from Los Angeles" said hello, and mention this review. :) He's the absolute best.
