Buvette Dining was founded on a love of French cuisine and a desire to bring classic European flare to Canberra's dining scene. We've developed a welcoming bistro where each meal celebrates flavour, tradition, and community by combining classic dishes with local ingredients. Whether you are enjoying a quiet lunch or a lively evening with friends, our space invites you to slow down, savour and connect. It's more than dining; it's a shared experience rooted in warmth and elegance.

At Buvette Dining, we value sustainability in everything we do. We believe that excellent food starts with high quality ingredients, so we buy fresh, local produce from trusted farm partners who share our values. Our seasonal menus are based on what's growing locally, shortening the distance from paddock to plate. Working closely with farmers in the Canberra region allows us to not only support local agriculture but also ensure the best quality in every dish we serve. Sustainability also entails making careful decisions behind the scenes, such as eliminating kitchen waste and using eco friendly packaging and materials. We make a daily commitment to serving food that is both healthy for you and the environment.
