French-leaning small plates can be cobbled together to compose an excellent & affordable meal here. Try the classic croque madame ($10) or the brandade ($9), a pot of featherlight whipped salt cod. -Time Out New York
The best birthday restaurant offers a homey French feast, centered on a shareable dish like roasted chicken, for groups of 8 to 12 on the long “kitchen table” in the back. -Time Out New York
If the Chevre is on the breakfast menu, get it -Fred
They've got Aesop soap and lotion in the bathroom. #classy -Kirk

While dinner & brunch are perennially packed, Buvette is the perfect place to stop for a mid-afternoon or late-evening bite and aperitif. Unless you are part of a group of four, ask to sit at the bar. -Eater
Try the lentils w the classique aperitif!! -Mario
Best latte I've ever had. Cr'q Madame was divine. An nyc-brunch must -Kt
A charming, intimate French bar and restaurant from chef Jody Williams, equally fun for a quiet breakfast, the lively dinner scene, or a late-night bite and glass of wine. -Serious Eats
Raphael's enthusiasm is infectious, and his suggestions yummy. The burrata and safata (artichoke) are not to be missed -Lina
Transport to France in this charming West Village spot. Fantastic coffee and nice drink menu -Simone
The croissants are crunchy and served with a delicious jam. The coffee is superb. Makes me nostalgic for the buvette in Paris, though this one is a little less cozy. -Sanaë
Delicioso lugar francés -Roger
[Restaurant/Bar] Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Crowded and awesome. Our favorite. Amazing small dishes. Sublime chocolate mousse. Nowhere near healthy, but who cares. -D&A Travel:
