Review Summary

Reviews paint Buboy in Montreal as a cozy, authentic Filipino spot that serves comforting, generously portioned dishes at accessible prices. Highlights mentioned across comments include pancit Canton, kinilaw, Kare Kare, lechon, bulalo and pork dishes, with the Kamayan and Boodle Feast experiences noted as especially enjoyable for groups. The new location is appreciated for its fit and homey vibe, with some praise for friendly, guiding service. Most guests report warm hospitality and quick, visible food preparation, though a few dishes arrive cold or are misordered and some visits feel a bit slow. The restaurant is described as a hidden gem by many, with several groups using it for events like weddings, and the cantaloupe juice and other Filipino staples recurring themes. Overall Buboy is seen as delivering flavorful, comforting Philippine cooking that keeps guests returning, despite occasional inconsistencies.

Everything about Buboy is perfect. The food, the setup, the service. Number 1 you get your food in no time & it's always piping hot, you literally see them prepare it right in front of you. Number 2 it's delicious. Number 3 the staff is great, so sweet. & number 4 the setup since they changed location is just perfect, it's a little counter & fills like home. A MUST try in Montreal:

A+ pancit tapioca noodles (great texture & bounce) with a soy, calamansi sauce & super crispy lechon.

Vybz.

Staff is also kind & friendly.

Worth a visit or two.

I was really excited to try this restaurant! Unfortunately, I was served a dish that I hadn't ordered (takeout)... I didn't like the dish. Too bad...

This cozy little restaurant is tucked away on a corner, but don't let that fool you! It serves up some of the most delicious Filipino dishes that will have you return for more. Every bite is simply mouth-watering! The friendly gentlemen who served us were quick & polite, improving our experience. A big shoutout to them!

Looking for some authentic Filipino food? Then you have to try Buboy!
It might not be the biggest or the fanciest spot, but trust me the food is absolutely delicious & the service is warm & welcoming.
Sometimes it's the simple places that deliver the best meals, & Buboy is definitely one of them. A true hidden gem worth checking out! ✨🍴

Delicious! This was my first time at their new location, however I've eaten at Buboy's multiple times so far & it's always amazing. One of my favorite restaurants in Montreal. I really liked the sliders & the pancit sauce was so good.

Staff are kind & super hospitable, especially for a hole in the wall type of restaurant. It was a busy busy day when we visited, but they still made everything work. As a Filipino, the food is less salty than what we're used to, which isn't entirely bad, since the Kare-Kare hit but I lowkey wished for that Shrimp Paste taste (Customers around me, however, really loved it!). Kinilaw was perfect & refeshing, my friend enjoyedit a lot. Crinkles were awesome, & the ube-leche flan was delightful (the ube was so soft like spongecake). The halo-halo was so packed & I was so touched as I already completely forgot the last time I had this dessert. Anyway, so cute, would come again for bread & pastries. Check them out

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!
