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.
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.

Super expérience ! La nourriture est délicieuse & copieuse. Le service était rapide & le personnel super gentil. Le cadre est intimiste avec des prix abordables.
This place exceeded our expectations! The Bulalo Pares was sooooo tasty, & the Loco gang sauce 🤤🤤. Chimichurri sauce on-top of the balut was a really good pairing.
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.
Love this spot. I really enjoyed trying their soups, they were extremely comforting, & had that home cooked mood to them. Everything is delicious. Portions are a good size & food is ready fast.
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.
