Buvette is a globally recognised, French-inspired all-day concept founded by James Beard Award-winning chef Jody Williams in New Yorks West Village. The word Buvette refers to a gathering place with friends a neighbourhood gem, or an extension of home. Jody often describes Buvette as a gastroteque: a creative expression of great gastronomy made in-house, where almost everything is prepared from scratch, down to cocktail bitters and many of the small details that shape the guest experience.

Buvette is not just a venue, but a guest journey that lingers long after the visit. It blends the atmosphere of an elegant old-world café with the casual, relaxed feel of a neighbourhood eatery. Interiors are carefully considered, celebrating nostalgia and the character of well-worn antique pieces, each with its own story. Buvette is dedicated to simply enjoying food at any time of day from breakfast and coffee through to lunch, evening drinks, and intimate late suppers.

The menu centres around comforting, produce-led small plates, using some of the best locally sourced ingredients to support regional suppliers and independent producers. Service is designed to be efficient, warm, and highly considered, ensuring quality is never compromised.Opening in London, Buvette brings this globally recognised concept to the city, joining a family of international locations including New York, Paris, Tokyo, and Seoul. We are now building an exceptional opening team to help bring this iconic concept to life.
