Buboy is my favorite Filipino restaurant here in Montréal. They offer the best-tasting dishes paired with the most amazing staff. Shoutout to Chef Eric for always thinking of ways on how to innovate Filipino flavors through his unique dishes, & for placing Filipino cuisine in the MTL food map. Pro-tip: Ask for their homemade ice cream. I don't think it's posted in the menu, but it's definitely worth the try.

It was our first time having Filipino food & what an amazing experience! We had the #7 & #8 & while both delicious, #7 was a flavour I've never had before & absolutely loved it. The egg yolk mixed with the sauce was 10/10! & the service was even better than the food, which is saying a lot! The cashier helped us by explaining everything on the menu & was so friendly! Will definitely be back again :)
Highly recommend!! This place is such a gem. Yummy filipino foods with a twist. Amazing staff. Cozy & very welcoming. We'd definitely be back here when we come back to Montreal
The best bulalo house in Montreal! This restaurant serves such comforting food, reminds me of my Filipino parents' cooking. My all time favourite dishes are: Bulalo Steak, Loco-Gang, & their Corned Beef Silog (made in house 😉). Also, the broth is to die for!! Not only is it super tasty & comforting, but it's good for the skin 😋 Lastly, the staff is super friendly & the ambiance is just so chill & nice. A solid 10/10

I love buboy! I eat there almost every week, their dishes are amazing & delicious, well thought & different from the other Filipino restaurants, the taste has more depth & is richer! the chef is super kind & everything on their menu is to die for!
I can't believe i've been missing out on such delicious food. My first experience with filipino food is a boodle fight seafood style, & I was blown away by how delicious it was. The presentation too was spot-on. Now the price was $65 before tax but the amount of food & the quality of the food served up to what I expect. My appetite is big but I ended up having to pack some food. It was too much! Definitely will come back.
This Filipino restaurant is a true culinary gem. The flavors are outstanding, presenting a delightful departure from the ordinary. It's a must-visit for anyone passionate about food. The quality of ingredients shines through in every dish, with sauces that clearly speak to meticulous preparation & premium selection. I'm already looking forward to making this exceptional spot one of my regular go-tos.
Food reminds me of home but better ? everything is sooo frickin gooood asffkadjdk. Eric's cooking literally heals me, definitely my new favorite Filipino spot!!!
Probably my new go-to for Filipino food. The dishes here are delicious & extremely filling. The kare kare brought me back to my grandma’s & the bulalo steak was so flavourful & addictive. Can’t wait to try more items on the menu!
My new go-to when I crave Filipino food. Obsessed with the kare-kare & the bulalugaw. The portions are generous, I always have some leftovers lol. The space is cozy & cute, the service is great, staff is super nice. Can't wait to try out the rest of the menu. Congrats again! :-)

A small counter offering the most delicious filipino meal soup! Generous portions. Classic flavor with their own flare & twist. The food will please both filipinos & those who want to try filipino cuisine. They also offer dessert options & some filipino food merch from other well known filipino food spots in Montreal! Not to mention the warm service they offer as soon as you step in
