La Buvette (Omaha)
I recently stopped by on a hot-hot summer evening with friends, and although roast chicken with mashed potatoes sounds kind of heavy for summer heat, it was an amazing plate and not heavy at all.
Perfect roasting (seen here after a quick bite)?
I’ll admit that I’m normally a white-meat kinda guy, never too interested in thighs and legs, but this roast chicken was the best I’ve had, cooked to perfection. I even enjoyed the skin, something I normally discard as too greasy, because it was light and crisp.
The potatoes were light and not too heavy, and the peas were especially fresh and a nice complement. La Buvette is quickly becoming my favorite restaurant in Omaha, because the food has been excellent the last few times and the service is getting more consistent. Even simple things like bread and butter are excellent there. The prices are very fair as well. Now if they would just get a hood to keep the grease from getting all over . . . .
I would not want roast chicken in 100 degree weather but La Buvette is one of the best places to eat in Omaha. I agree that they have been very good as of late: http://bit.ly/oSQYWR
