Omaha’s Old Market plays host to a sidewalk café not unlike those in Western Europe. La Buvette Wine & Grocery, contained within a historic brick building, is steeped in character and laced with romance. An array of affordable wine and cheese plates assures that this mystique is accessible to everyone, a welcome concept in the conservative Midwest. Apart from the reasonable prices, La Buvette transports diners to a different place and time, and the attached grocery store allows them suspend reality for a moment longer, gathering food and wine to enjoy at home afterwards.
