"Buvette is very small and consistently packed. That might not sound like a place where you want to eat a meal, but this French bistro (with locations in other cities like Paris and Tokyo) will win you over with its charm as soon as you sit down. There's a long marble bar and a big chalkboard map of France, and the homey space is filled with vintage knickknacks. Bring a date to this romantic spot for some classic French dishes like coq au vin, duck cassoulet, and tartines that you’ll definitely want to try to make at home." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, sonal shah
