La Buvette

Saturday, February 21, 2009 - The low-ceilinged room is plainly but pleasingly done out with splodgy paintings, a wine rack filling a fireplace and bright red curtains half-drawn to give a view of the church. The staff are young, French and friendly. The wine list is an ode to price-conscious ingenuity. And the set menu is a lunchtime steal…The food is what many of us crave: unfussy, accurate and delicious bistro cooking of the kind recalled with almost mythic reverence from childhood hols across the Channel.
