Buboy is a cozy Filipino spot tucked into a small corner of a building in Montreal, praised for comforting, deeply satisfying flavors like bulalo with rich bone broth, tender meat, and sweet corn, along with crowd favorites such as pancit canton, lechon, kinilaw, and kare kare. Reviews describe an authentic carenderia vibe with generous portions, friendly and attentive service, and a range of dishes that feel like home cooking, while also noting occasional issues such as limited seating, tricky location, and moments of inconsistency in temperature or seasoning. The menu delights with items like miki, coconut soup with crispy pork, Laing, and a cantaloupe juice, and some experiences highlight special offerings like Kamayan feasts that are interactive and genuinely satisfying. A few visits mention order mix ups or sanitation concerns, but the overall impression is that Buboy offers unique, affordable Filipino comfort food that many would return for, especially the pancit canton, lechon, kinilaw, and bone broth.
the restaurant is inside a building, if you are not from montreal you might have a hard time finding the place.
the restaurant gives an authentic carenderia vibes limited seating.
Food is good we had the pares, bulalo & pancit. everything was packed with flavors & delicious.
Service was good they also offer some filipino baked goods.
I will definitely visit this place again when I visit montreal. Definitely recommended
L'expérience chez Buboy est incroyable & le service est impeccable. Le propriétaire est d'une intégrité rare & à l'écoute de ses clients. Les plats sont délicieux & les portions sont généreuses, le tout à un prix très abordable!
?Si vous voulez goûter à de vrais mets Philippins, c'est la place à Montréal! Je recommande à 100 %!
We came for their limited all you can eat Sunday brunch To;dr: would recommend, the food is good! The food was really good, not too many options but every single dish tastes very good The first plate tasted a lot better than the 2nd serving we had, the rice was quite mushy & the meat was somehow saltier (could be us) Service was really good, 4 star because she proposed food & we thought it was included but it ended up being extra

I just left this cute little restaurant & I can't help but leave a 5 stars a review. The girl at the reception was so sweet & kind & the burger was AMAZING!! I highly recommend!!
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
Probably one of the single best restaurants in all of NDG a serious hidden gem of a restaurant with insanely delicious food. Super friendly & kind owners too. Would recommend this to everyone.
I'm obsessed. I'm from Toronto & couldn't wait to try this place on my next visit to Montreal. I most certainly was not disappointed. Every bite of the OG Bulalo was delicious & the beef shank & bone marrow was no joke. My dad even said it tasted better than the one he had in the Philippines. I highly recommend this place. Love na love!
Had the Pares & Kare-Kare, as well as the canteloupe drink. Both dishes were excellent! My partner & I slightly preferred the Pares, because the beef was just so tasty & flavourful. But I also really likes the Kare-Kare, which even used actual ox tail! We also had the crab rangoons which were so addictively good, we basically finished it all in one sitting. We had the food to go, & I wished the Pares had more sauce to go with it (maybe the rice absorbed most of the sauce) & the Kare-Kare came with a side of shrimp paste. That said, the food was so good we can’t wait to go back & try more of the menu! :) Highly recommend!
