Buvette Chez Simone Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
BistroCharcuterieBuvetteGreat selection of winesPubResto-BarWine Bar
A buvette generally refers to a small place to grab a drink and a light meal in passing, while waiting for a train or a show. Though this buvette is near neither the train station or the opera house, it is a welcome addition to the city's wine bars! With a raised terrace overlooking the bustling Park Avenue and a spacious and welcoming interior, Buvette Chez Simone is an excellent place for an evening gathering or late night drinks.

Review Summary

Ambience at Buvette Chez Simone is frequently praised as cool and cozy, with a stylish, dimly lit setting that can feel lively yet intimate and can also be very loud and cramped during peak hours. Food quality is generally described as good to excellent, with standout items such as roasted chicken, lamb gnocchi, and a varied charcuterie and cheese selection, though portions are often noted as small and prices as high. The wine list is a major plus, described as extensive and well curated, with some reviews also mentioning a solid beer selection and even mocktails. Service is commonly friendly and attentive, providing efficient help, though some experiences report slower service or occasional signs of frustration when busy. Value is a frequent topic of discussion, with many feeling the dishes are pricey for the portion sizes, while others feel the quality justifies the cost. The venue changes with the seasons, offering indoor dining in winter and a pleasant terrace in summer, with easy street parking nearby. Many reviews suggest it is a reliable go-to for a good evening with shared plates, drinks, and a generally welcoming atmosphere, and a return visit is common.

Spectacular! We were looking for another place & thank God we couldn't find it...Chez Simone was soooo cozy & inviting, the food was insanely good & loved the ambiance. The Greek Salad with that creamy feta was to die for. The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy & flavorful. Definitely going back!

Nous y avons fait un évènement privé pour les funérailles de notre père. Le service, la générosité, l'empathie, la nourriture, la sélection de vin: tout était PARFAIT. Je ne pourrai jamais remercier assez Simone & son équipe pour leur ouverture, leur flexibilité, leur douceur. Je recommande chaudement.

Merci à Simone & Claude pour le service impeccable & l'accueil extraordinaire. Nous avons vécu un moment intime, entouré de nos proches & c'était le meilleur endroit pour cela. Je recommande fortement d'y aller. Pour ma part, je vous dit à bientôt!

L'ambiance est cool & la nourriture est bonne mais niveau quantité on est très très loin du compte… 28$ les 6 gnocchis & 8$ les 4 carrés de chocolat honnêtement c'est extrêmement cher. J'avais encore faim en sortant du resto…

Bonjour,
C'est ambiance'buvette', surtout en hiver car à l'intérieur uniquement.
La bouffe est surtout sous la forme d'assiettes variées à déguster seul•e ou à deux. La carte des vins & alcools est assez complète & il y a aussi des mocktails.
La Buvette, c'est un lieu assez incontournable.
& qui dit'incontournable' dit souvent'achalandage'. Cela peut dépendre de l'heure à laquelle vous y irez. Je dirais que ça commence à etreplus achalandé aux alentours de 19h30/20h surtout les derniers jours de la semaine....& encore plus en hiver!
Parce que l'été, c'est un peu différent! Surtout grâce à la terrasse, certes sur Parc mais honnêtement, c'est quand même super agréable!! & le stationnement est plutot facile dans les rues avoisinantes ou directement sur Parc.
Bonne visite & bonne soirée!

J'ai adoré l'expérience, le service est excellent, ils sont présents mais laissent assez d'espace pour que ça ne soit pas trop. Les gnocchis à l'agneau.. décadent. Choix de vin, impressionnant. On va clairement y retourner.

L'ambiance est parfaite, le vin est top, & le service est constamment amical & efficace. On s'y sent bien, peu importe la saison. C'est vraiment la buvette de choix quand on veut passer une bonne soirée sans se tromper. 🙌🏻

Food was disgusting, drinks were way too pricey for the amount & quality, it was so loud i could barely hear myself think, did not like the atmosphere but at least our waiters were nice & made some good wine recommendations

Un délice! Manque plus qu'à ajouter un peu de sound masking 🥰

We stopped in for dinner, without reservations, & were able to get a seat at the bar. The ambiance was great - as another reviewer said, lively but also low-key. We had an assortment of meats, cheeses, & drinks, everything was phenomenal. I still think about the chicken liver mousse, truly decadent.

The service was wonderful. The food was nice but way overpriced for charcuteries & cheeses. The bill go up fast if you want to eat & actually be full. The ambiance with dim light & the decor is nice but it's a bit tight & very loud, we could barely hear ourselves talk.
I would go back but probably at a time when there's less people & only order the day special to stay at a decent price.

Food was amazing, perfect place to eat a couple appetizers. One of the best service I've ever had. Employees are super nice & calm. Atmosphere is chill, not to loud, very enjoyable.
