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!

We went to visit Montréal & one of our travel plans was to eat filipino food as there are not many of them in the Province of New Brunswick, where we reside. This was the first one we tried & we tried two other filipino restaurants after. We made sure to add it again to our itinerary before we left the city. Both times we ate at the establishment, we were served with excellent service & a very tasty dish. The crispy pork skin in the Kare Kare was cooked to perfection. A must place to eat!

Their Pancit Canton reminded me so much of the Lucky Me version of the dish. Very tasty & the homemade noodles were nice & chewy.

Also had the grilled octopus kinilaw, very refreshing & a good amount of octopus!

Went there at 11:30am (since their typical hours start at 11am), & they were still closed & were opening later at 12. So i wish they posted that on Instagram before hand. Also they could post their new menu online.
