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.

Hearty, delicious food & friendly staff. The bone broth & brisket is amazing. Such a great addition to Monkland village.

I'm obsessed. I'm from Toronto & couldn't wait to try this place on my next visit to Montreal. I most certainly was not disappointed. Every bite of the OG Bulalo was delicious & the beef shank & bone marrow was no joke. My dad even said it tasted better than the one he had in the Philippines. I highly recommend this place. Love na love!

I went to their pop up & YUM! I crave Filipino food all the time! Their oxtail was so perfect. As was the lumpia. So well done.

A small counter offering the most delicious filipino meal soup! Generous portions. Classic flavor with their own flare & twist. The food will please both filipinos & those who want to try filipino cuisine. They also offer dessert options & some filipino food merch from other well known filipino food spots in Montreal! Not to mention the warm service they offer as soon as you step in

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!

GREAT PLACE & GREAT FOOD. Me & my friends made a commitment to come back every 15th of the month to try the full menu & figure out what our favorite is (today is the 3rd month, I already decided that Loco Gang is the winner for me) 🤭
