LA BUVETTE
Feels like backstreet Paris but it’s laneway Adelaide…the winelist is packed with French and Local Natural & Organic Wines, Premium Spirits, Specialty Apéritifs, Cocktails + a bistro style menu of house classics & crowd favourites. The window opens out to street-side dining, stand and enjoy your drink and mingle on the sidewalk, Euro style
Originating from France, La Buvette’s owners wanted to create a space where they could bring the French Apéritif culture to life…. They aim to transport clientele straight to the streets of Paris to the corner ‘cave a vin’, or neighbourhood bar. La Buvette had an historic old-wordly feel to the exterior, but spilling out onto the pavement is a cool crowd of locals just enjoying a glass of seriously good wine, conversation and having a great time!
La Buvette is family owned and operated with a shared European passion and love for gathering together with great wine, and delicious, but simple food.
The Motto
“METRO•BOULOT•APÉRO”
La Buvette’s motto based on the original French classic saying “metro, boulot, dodo” or - “the daily grind” (literally train [or commute], work, sleep.. repeat). We Say, why not finish the day with an apéro!
‘Apéro or Apéritif’ literally is the ‘time for a drink & snack’ but also refers in general to a convivial gathering for Frenchies as a prelude to a meal or as a general catch up. In France a chance for a drink is always combined with a snack and an apéro can be a quick catch-up but can often lead to a long progressive degustation lasting well into the night.
