Review Summary

Buboy is widely regarded as a hidden gem in Montreal, offering authentic and comforting Filipino cuisine that leaves many visitors impressed by the bold flavors and creative twists on traditional dishes. While the atmosphere is often described as cozy and welcoming, with many guests praising the friendly and helpful service, the restaurant is located in a small, tucked-away space that can be tricky to find. Experiences regarding consistency are mixed, as some patrons find the portion sizes and food temperatures to be variable, and others have noted occasional challenges with service flow or order accuracy. Despite these occasional inconsistencies, the majority of diners are enthusiastic about their meals, frequently highlighting the crab rangoon, pancit, and lechon as standout items, and many express a strong desire to return to explore more of the menu.

Everything we ordered was so flavourful & authentic! The kinilaw with garlic rice was stellar. Only wish there were more places to sit, but we'll be back!

Room temperature was freezing...some rice was hard (either old rice or cold rice) I've ordered 3 plates unfortunately it wasn't hot but more likely between cold & warm ....felt like if I add 2 more minutes in the microwave it would have been hot enough. The sauce was gelatinous, probably not hot enough. Don't get me wrong, I love philipino food, but this time .....I was disappointed.... never have I ever had a plate semi hot & hard rice ...

I recently had the chance to try the boodle-feast (Kamayan) dining experience. It was an engaging & interactive meal, where I got to enjoy the food with my hands (plastic gloves were provided). The price tag was $60 per person, but the portion sizes were generous, making it a worthwhile & enjoyable experience. I loved the garlic rice & the deliciously charred meat.

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

Buboy is a really tasty, homey, local restaurant joint with a twist on staple Filipino dishes. We had oxtail karekare, loco-gang, & longsilog. The portions are great, rice-heavy as what your Filipino mom will put on your plate. We had calamansi juice as well, which is always a refreshing drink to enjoy

Delicious! Limited seating, but the food was amazing. Had the OG Bulalo & the Oxtail with rice. Wow! Will be back for sure to try other items in the menu. Everything looks amazing to try. Friendly & fast service.

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!
