Jambon Cru - Steamed Eggs with Prosciutto and shaved parmesan on toast.

Jambon Cru – Steamed Eggs with Prosciutto and shaved parmesan on toast.

I think Buvette has got to be the cutest French café not in France.

Ideal location for a guy’s night out? Probably not. Looking for trivia night or beer pong? Keep walking.

But if you want to see what steamed eggs taste like in a quaint as hell setting, Buvette is the place for you.

The interiors feature a ton of nooks and crannies for your eyes to explore, in case your dining guest(s) turn out to be supremely dull.

The dish that everyone Yelps and Instragrams about is the Prosciutto and Eggs over toast. It’s simple, elegant and flavorful. And just enough food for a normal human.

Do not order this dish if you’re hungover. Get the Croque Monsieur. Nearly just as tasty, but much more substantial if your brain wishes to dine like a Parisian but your stomach is screaming “Buffet!!”

Buvette is a little cramped (I didn’t want to use “quaint” again) so it’s not really ideal for parties of more than 4. Even better, if you’re a party of two and are feeling all romantical. It’s almost too cute to waste it taking some dumb old friend.
