Some drawbacks appear occasionally, with reports of dishes arriving cold, service that can be slow or disorganized, and a note about tipping expectations that felt heavy to some guests. Overall the place earns high marks for ambiance, attentive staff, and quality wine and food, with frequent recommendations to return for the atmosphere and reliable, enjoyable experiences.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Vivette Pastèque, & I just have to share how lovely it was. Their wine selection is honestly a little treasure trove-you'll find something delightful for any taste. & can we talk about Jan? Gen is absolutely wonderful, super attentive & really adds that extra sparkle to the experience. Oh, & the brunches? They're just deliciously good-the kind that makes you want to come back for more cozy weekend vibes. Definitely a spot worth visiting!
My go-to spot! Whether it's with friends or on a date, it's the perfect place.
Went for brunch recently & honestly, it's so underrated.... the food was delicious & the vibe was amazing!
Huge thanks to Vincent for his great service & recommendations!

Je suis venu pour le brunch avec mes amis, le menu est très bon, le bottomless mimosa a très bien accompagné notre brunch. On s'est fait servir par un gars, j'ai oublié son nom mais il portait un chandail Félix noir & rouge, excellent service !!!
I've only been here twice, once for brunch & once for lunch. On both occasions everything was pretty good. I just wish it was a little more lively but that could just be a seasonal thing. Keep up the great work.
In one word? Incredible. From the standout staff to the thoughtfully curated menus, Buvette Pastek has been my go-to for years now. From brunch to dinner I am continually amazed & impressed with the elevated space & the impeccable service. Highly recommend their cocktail/wine menus, & their food menus are excellent & underrated. Five golden stars!

Mon endroit mon préféré pour bruncher le week-end. La bouffe & le service sont toujours impeccables, bonne musique & ambiance cozy le soir pour prendre un verre.
I came here with my boyfriend for brunch & I loved it so much😍 I'm very picky with my matcha, but theirs was perfection! The food was excellent, great portions & amazing service! Everyone was so nice & the vibe was on point. I loved the type of music they put, we were on the terrace (beautiful btw), & the volume was perfect! Definitely coming back, for dinner this time;)
Magnifique restaurant avec un service efficace & agréable. Pour le brunch un classique menu de 5-6 options mais tous excellents! Je recommande fortement!
We had an amazing brunch on the patio. The food was fantastic & the staff was great. The avocado toast, pancakes & burrata were amazing. The freshly squeezed orange grapefruit juice was delightful.
Buvette Pastek will transport you to the coolest New York hotel lobby! The atmosphere is cozy & inviting, perfect for a laid-back evening. The food is outstanding, with each dish bursting with flavor & creativity. The staff are attentive & friendly, ensuring a delightful dining or drinking experience. Whether you're a wine aficionado or simply looking for a delicious meal, Pastek is sure to impress. Brunch is also a must. Five stars well deserved!
Nous avons pris un brunch. Lorsque le menu indique assiette brunch patate XXL, on s'attend à avoir une quantité de nourriture correcte. Il y avait 4 petits morceaux de pomme de terre, une demi saucisse... Nous somme sortis de table la faim au ventre. C'était bon, mais il n'y avait rien dans l'assiette

Limited brunch options compared to other places around. The pancakes were really good, but I found them a bit burnt & I found the seats/ layout a bit uncomfortable. Nonetheless the service was good & the pancakes seemed to be their best menu item.
Went there for brunch, & it was amazing. My favorite was the freshly squeezed grapefruit & orange juice, & the salmon bagel! So good!! The potatoes & mushroom toast were delicious too!
