French Bistro and Coffee in the West Village NYC at Buvette
Buvette serves pain perdu in the morning, tartare in the afternoon and coq au vin at night from a cozy room at 42 Grove Street.
☕ French Small Plates on Grove Street
Buvette puts French small plates and smooth Italian coffee into a cozy West Village room. Tables sit cheek by jowl, and the service team keeps a brisk pace. A perch at the bar brings you close to the action, with a front row view of the team at work.
Pain perdu and Belgian waffles start the morning, before the kitchen turns to tartare and champagne in the afternoon. Coq au vin takes over at night. That progression gives you three distinct ways into the menu, from breakfast to a later meal. Pick the part of the day that matches your appetite.
Chef Jody Williams established Buvette in early 2011. The room works for an off time solo stop or dining in pairs, with a compact scale that keeps the meal intimate. At 42 Grove Street, it stays open daily from 8 AM until midnight. Take your time choosing between a seat at the bar and a table for two.
