Buboy propose une cuisine philippine authentique et réconfortante, avec le bulalo servi dans un bouillon clair et riche qui enveloppe des morceaux de viande fondants, des légumes et des nouilles; la pancit canton rappelle l'enfance tout en gagnant en profondeur grâce à une cuisson maîtrisée. Des plats comme le lechon, le kare kare et le kinilaw séduisent par leur saveur robuste et leurs textures, tandis que des desserts tels que le halo halo et la brioche a l'ube ajoutent une touche gourmande; l'ensemble est servi dans une ambiance chaude et intime, avec un personnel sympathique et efficace. Des retours mentionnent toutefois une constance variable et des questions d'hygiène ou d'ambiance dans certaines salles, ainsi que des difficultés liées à l'emplacement et au cadre, ce qui n'empêche pas de considérer Buboy comme une adresse authentique et accessible. Pour les repas en style Kamayan, une expérience conviviale et généreuse exige souvent une réservation et peut impressionner les amateurs de viande et de partage; les portions et les prix restent globalement avantageux. Le lieu peut être difficile à trouver et la décoration reste simple, mais la dégustation privilégie les saveurs philippines et l'authenticité, avec des choix variés comme le bulalo, le pancit canton, le miki, le kinilaw et le lechon, accompagnés de jus frais comme le cantaloup. En somme, Buboy apparaît comme une option incontournable pour ceux qui cherchent une cuisine philippine réconfortante et accessible, capable de laisser un souvenir durable grâce à des plats riches, une ambiance chaleureuse et un service attentionné.
A steaming Filipino bowl of Bulalo: rich, clear bone broth layered with deep beef flavor, tender shank falling off the bone, sweet corn, soft cabbage, & fresh noodles soaking it all in. Comforting, honest, & deeply satisfying.
Between sips & bites, we drifted through conversations about Montreal, travels across Asia, geopolitics, & cinema, the world feeling both vast & right there at the table. 🍲🌏

We appreciated the attentive service & professionalism of your staff during our recent visit to Montreal.
We're puzzled that the online reviews don't accurately reflect the restaurant's actual location, which is within a small corner space of a larger building.
Unfortunately, the food we tried didn't live up to the standards suggested by the reviews. Although the Filipino dishes did have an authentic taste, our overall experience was marred by concerns over sanitation & the ambiance of the premises.
We hope you can use this feedback to improve & align the experience with your online presence. 😩😑🫣
Their pancit canton brought me back to the ones I usually had in my childhood but more elevated in flavor. I love them for doing that. 10 out of 10 in my book
Miam miam miam, leur brioche à l'ube est délicieuse. Le personnel est vraiment sympathique; on sent la passion des Philippines 😄 Super belle vibe là-bas!!! 😇
I ordered lechon & crab rangoons to go & paid $2 extra to replace rice with noodles +the tip. Unfortunately, I was given rice instead of noodles, tried calling but the number is disconnected. Pretty disappointed since I was the only customer there.

We tried the Kamayan Christmas dinner special-a collaboration with Dobe & Andy-& wow. If you're a meat lover, this will absolutely blow your socks off. The spread was loaded with BBQ pork, crispy pork, chicken, duck skewers, veggies, cream cheese & crab dumplings, plus a generous portion of fried rice packed with even more meat.
Reservations are required since it's a group-style meal, & it's well worth planning ahead. Other standouts for us were the coconut soup with crispy pork & the bone broth-both comforting & deeply flavorful.
Buboy is truly a rare gem in Montreal. Huge thanks to Chef Eric for consistently offering such unique, delicious dishes at prices that remain accessible.
Food looked awesome, but taste was off, bland & not working together.
Was very disappointed & still confused by the dishes I received.
Maybe it was bad luck…
Price was decent
Service was cold

the restaurant is inside a building, if you are not from montreal you might have a hard time finding the place.
the restaurant gives an authentic carenderia vibes limited seating.
Food is good we had the pares, bulalo & pancit. everything was packed with flavors & delicious.
Service was good they also offer some filipino baked goods.
I will definitely visit this place again when I visit montreal. Definitely recommended
If you like Crab Rangoon, Oxtail Kare-Kare & Bulalo Pares this is the place for you.

I've had a bunch of Philippino style food before but here at @buboymtl it's like comfort & wholesome cooking had a baby. It's definitely on the heavy, put you in a coma, style vibe & I love it.
.
Really nice traditional spot that has been serving up the NDG area of Montreal all summer & giving people a delicious take on amazing Philippino Cooking.
.
They also have this amazing Cantaloupe Juice that is super refreshing & at times they even are known to do a collab or 2 with other great individuals like the master behind the Halo Halo Donut I had from @deuxbecs, really the master of donut making himself!
.
If your in the area you guys are lucky because coming into the winter season, these guys are Gunna keep you feed & fat all winter long 😅.

I have to honestly & say I love the new & improved menu at @buboymtl & especially the new location. It really fits them better & to have a set menu with a hand full of bangers is all they needed!
Its just simple comfort philipinos food done ohhh so well me & my buddy couldn't get over how delicious everything really was! If your going through Chinatown & you need a recommendation, go here!
Eric accommodated our large group, took the time to walk everyone through their menu, explaining each dish & making recommendations. Amazing service.
The food matched the service. Incredible flavours in the Pancit. Also tried the Miki with extra pork - incredible fall dish. Real comfort food.
A little difficult to find at first because they're located inside a small mall, but their stall has a really interesting vibe, & we got our orders very quickly.
