Buboy is easily one of the best restaurants for authentic Filipino food. Every dish is full of rich, comforting flavors that showcase the diverse culinary traditions of the Philippines. From savory classics to delicious grilled specialties, you can taste the passion & quality in every bite.

If you're looking to experience food inspired by the beautiful Philippines & its vibrant culture, Buboy is a must-visit. Great food, friendly service, & a welcoming ambiance - I highly recommended to try the pancit canton & leche flan with ube.

Food was so freaking good! It was very homey, I loved how cozy the kitchen & seating area felt. We got the pork sisig, tinapa rice, & the crab rangoons. Definitely recommend the crab rangoons!!!

Very disappointing & frustrating if you're trying to plan an order in advance… phone numbers don't work & if you try to reach out on social media they expect you to place an advance order over DMs.

My mom is almost 80, isn't in the best of health, doesn't drive & doesn't have social media. She used to go to Buboy a lot when it was in Monkland. Over Instagram I tried getting their new phone number but they wouldn't give one (who knows why). & then all they replied to me was that they couldn't accommodate an order 2 days in advance…

Unprofessional &, frankly, a bit rude. Super disappointing. Don't recommend for those who live far from the new location. If you like to plan things in advance & get information on what can be ordered in advance, don't bother trying to contact this restaurant…

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

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
