La Buvette is wonderful! by Marie S. at InsiderPages

Whenever we go to Old Market for dinner, we always stop at La Buvette for a glass of wine first and an appetizer. It can get hard to get a seat, but it's well worth waiting. The service is fast once you order and the atmosphere is wonderful. Feels as if you're in a cafe in Paris!

Magnifique!

Ahh, what a relief! A unique, small eatery with plenty of fresh food and what a selection of wine! Choose your wine off of the shelves and enjoy it over cheese and meat plates at your table - or just browse the store to fill your own pantry. They have capitalized on the atmosphere of the Old Market area - industrial, warehouse charm - to create a comfortable, bohemian space fit for a lazy afternoon or luncheon escape. This spot has a lot of charm, but don't go if you are smoke-fobic. The regulars do puff just like in Paris!

• Pros: selection of wine, fresh cheese plates, atmosphere!
• Cons: smoke, smoke, smoke, space a little chilly, young staff
