Description

Small plates continue to take over New York City, suckering the gullible into paying big bucks for tiny bites. Yet at Buvette, Jody Williams's new Francophilic "gastroteque," you'll actually leave-quelle surprise-charmed and with your belly full. The décor marries the hallmarks of French bistro-dom-brick walls, pressed-tin ceilings, long marble bar-with an eclectic, bohemian flair, and the food is equally Gallic. Dig your toast deep into the crock of divine rabbit confit, nibble on saucisson sec glistening in herb-flecked olive oil, and spoon up lentils simmered with kale, which come in a miniature pot so cute you'll want to take it home for keeps.
