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.
I’ve been trying to visit Buboy for weeks. Finally got the chance & was not disappointed. Tried the OG Bulalo which was tastebud meltingly good - unfortunately they were out of noodles when we went so I’ll be back to try it with! Beef fell apart in the dish & the broth was so flavourful I truly savoured every spoonful. My husband tried the loco gang & fell in love with it. Naturally we took some pork siopao to go which served as a phenomenal late night snack. Was so happy to see it on the menu. Wonderfully marinated pork. Everything on the menu is really well priced & the portion sizes are absolutely perfect.
Service was fantastic & the vibe was just immaculate. We ate in & really enjoyed the time spent there. Will be back to try the entire rest of the menu (starting with those lumpia!). 100/10.

Probably my new go-to for Filipino food. The dishes here are delicious & extremely filling. The kare kare brought me back to my grandma’s & the bulalo steak was so flavourful & addictive. Can’t wait to try more items on the menu!
My new go-to when I crave Filipino food. Obsessed with the kare-kare & the bulalugaw. The portions are generous, I always have some leftovers lol. The space is cozy & cute, the service is great, staff is super nice. Can't wait to try out the rest of the menu. Congrats again! :-)
Everything was so delicious & the staff was incredibly welcoming. Cute very clean spot with comforting meals. Can’t wait to go back & try the rest of the menu.
