Hidden away in Neal's Yard, there are a bunch of wine bars, a café, and a new restaurant: Buvette does sharing dishes at (very) small tables. There are also locations in New York, Tokyo, and Seoul, although we can't comment on the table sizes of those restaurants.

We went in the midst of summer, with all the doors opening wide out onto Neal's Yard. It was warm, and people were having a good time. The menu isn't very extensive, but has a good selection of sharing dishes, separated into four sections: Tartlets, Fish, Vegetables, and Meats.

We picked four of the dishes, which was plenty. My wife was most keen on the Brandade de Morue, whipped house salt cod with olive oil, cream, and garlic; and I fancied the Tartare de Thon, raw tuna cubes, cournichons, capers, and avocado. Both were served with toasted bread with some olive oil. Beyond our "main dishes", we also shared the Dauphinois Potatoes — nice and creamy, but not quite enough garlic to my liking — and the Carotte Rapées — julienned carrot, with pistachios, coriander, and lemon.

To finish our meal, we shared a Café Gourmand, a slightly warm crème brûlée, without a crispy top, but with a spoonful of chocolate mousse and cream.

With our meal, we enjoyed a Picpoul — which seemed to be a popular choice among the other diners. It was a crisp wine, complementing our dinner in the sunshine well.

We liked Buvette. The interior restaurant also looked cosy, so would potentially also be good in the winter. It's a place where you could also just have a few dishes on an afternoon after a long day shopping. They also serve breakfast, brunch, and dinner.
