After desperately searching the area for a dog-friendly patio, we were beyond grateful to La Buvette for welcoming our well-behaved dog-ter. The hummus platter and fresh bread were fantastic and we /think/ vegan (be sure to ask about the bread). The salad was fresh and crispy!
Great place if you wanna feel fancy! The wine selection is great, and the food is fantastic. The bread is fantastic, and the hummus is sooooo good. The hot grilled sandwich is delicious, my friend described it as “tomato soup as a sandwich”. There are a couple vegetarian options on the menu!
Really great food, we had the homemade bread, market carrots, hummus, minestrone and crispy pork belly. All of these dishes had unique flavors and were well executed, strong chance Ill be back for more date nights!
I’ve been wanting to try this place out for over a year and finally did. Really enjoyed our time and it was decent enough weather to sit outside. We went on a weekday around 5pm so not busy and we were seated immediately.
We started off with the charcuterie board & it was delicious! We ended up going with the server’s recommendation for our main course and it was very good & flavorful. However, the meal that I did get felt like it was something I could make myself and didn’t think it was worth the price.
We still highly recommend for folks that have been wanting to check out and are looking for a date night or just want to grab an appetizer / wine. Super cute & really enjoyed the service. We’ll definitely be back again.
You feel like your in Europe! Great place, great food, good prices on drinks, staff was great! The menu was hand written and changes daily I think. Very fresh and delicious! I’ll be back for sure my next visit.
Dog friendly as well!
Love, love, love this place. Entrees change; menus are written daily, with a core standard menu with cheese & meat plates, salad and sandwich, etc. the daily menu items have always impressed. My most recent trip to Omaha I ate at La Buvette for both nights and had the Ragu Bianco that had a strong pepper finish, tender pork, hazelnuts, and sage. The wine selection by the glass is extensive and reasonably priced. They also offer a wide variety of bottle selections at retail that you may select to enjoy with your meal with a moderate corkage charge.
I've visited this restaurant a few times now and always had a good experience. The soups here are good and so is the hummus and bread. During this visit, I ordered the lamb shank and the potato-carrot-ginger soup and they were both delicious. Place is nice and quaint. The wine selection here is endless, so if wine is your thing, you're in the right spot. They also sell bottles of wine if you're interested in taking bottles home. The food does take some time to arrive but it is always fresh and delicious.

Definitely one of my FAVORITE spots in Omaha - it’s a little piece of France 🇫🇷 in the Old Market!
It is ALWAYS busy and well worth waiting for!
It is a fantastic French experience that will flood you with memories if you’ve ever been!
The wine selection is amazing and the food is out of this world! From amazing charcuterie to the finest in French Cuisine!
The people watching under the covered and heated patio is simply wonderful!
And just like in France 🇫🇷 smoking is allowed on the patio!
🚨A couple of warnings
👉Seating is first come first served and unless you want the French attitude from your server please wait to sit until table is wiped off.
👉🚽 toilets are downstairs so if stairs are an issue - go before your visit!
I've been here many times since. There are hits and Misses here depending on your order, but generally I love the atmosphere here.
Just a note for myself, I need to stop ordering the salad. It's not bad, it's just very vinegar forward when I was expecting more lemon.
I am upgrading this to a 5 star since I do recommend this as a place to go.
Previous review....
If you are looking for a super casual place
to hang out and drink some wine, this is the place.
A grocery store and wine bar combined located in the old market.
Corkage fee is 4.50 for a bottle.
Service was good to great depending on who you get.
There was an extraordinarily long wait time for our food yesterday.
Still, when you get it, the food is generally very good. Our main meals were excellent.
Bread service is free with the meal, but if you are just having wine, it will be 3.00.
The dessert had a bit more of a marshmallow texture than I expected for a Panna cotta. Was not a fan of the cookie that it came with.
Very unique restaurant/wine bar in the old market. The food is always amazing and they have a large seasonal rotating menu. Food selections come with their in house fresh baked bread and it is so damn good. Very large wine selection as well.
