Buvette + West Village + NYC

| | |

I’ve updated this post with new photos on a recent visit to Buvette: Since we can’t go to Buvette right now, I’m cooking from the Buvette cookbook. We made two recipes today using what we had in the house. Homemade potato chips and apple and cheese fricos. Frico means cheese crisps. Buvette’s recipe calls for Montasio cheese (or any cow’s milk aged cheese). It’s so simple, but the result is out of this world delicious.

A delicious combination of apple and cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • one cup grated cow’s milk cheese (we used an aged fontina)
  • one honeycrisp apple, cored and sliced very thin
  • olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan
  2. Sprinkle the cheese evenly to cover the bottom of the pan
  3. Layer the apples on top of the cheese
  4. Let the cheese completly melt. When the color becomes golden brown and it’s a little crunchy, carefuly fold over in half and slide onto a plate.
  5. Enjoy while still hot!

We love Buvette in NYC

You know when you’ve heard everyone talking about a place, see beautiful photos on social media and then you go and well, it just doesn’t live up to all the hype?  Well, Buvette is not one of those places.  I follow them on instagram and they post the most beautiful photos in just the right morning light…even on a rainy day.  So last week when Madeline and I finally went, we were thrilled with every detail.  The service was wonderful, the food delicious, the cappuccinos were seriously so delicious I had three… Madeline eats very slowly, but still, three?!  The decor was my favorite part.  It’s a bit rustic (obviously it’s in an old building in the West Village, but there were just enough shiny new items to add a touch of elegance.  I loved the red cafe chairs and tables on the patio, red geraniums on the fire escape… pretty much perfection.  They use a collection of old silver trays, white bone china, big bottles for water and of course cloth napkins all day long.  It really is the perfect place.  They are practically open all day and night.  So when should we meet at Buvette?

Buvette is located at 42 Grove Street in the West Village, NYC.  As they say in their about page, they are open sunlight to candlelight.

  1. Never heard of it but it looks delightful. Added to my list.
    And that bike is perfect! Thanks for sharing Annie. xoxo

  2. What a great little spot – I know I could do 3 cappucinos with you 😉 I don’t know if I ever checked back with you but we had dinner at La Palma in the West Village when we were there in January. It was really nice and I bet would be even nicer in the garden in the warm weather. Thanks for sharing Annie – definitely adding to my list for our next NYC trip.

  3. This sounds so nice! I love the photos and it is going on my list of places to check out. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!

  4. Buvette looks lovely. It looks very much like my kind of place. Wish I could pop over and meet you there for brunch. The gray Outback looks just like my car parked out front… I wish!

  5. Annie.. perfect dish to make now while sheltering in!! I have been to Buvette thanks to your recommendations and it was exactly as you describe.. I still have the beautiful card! Next time I hope I’ll be going with you and I am all in for 3 + cappuccinos. Hope you are doing well and taking care. xo
