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

Buvette Chez Simone is described as a cozy, welcoming spot with a lively, sometimes loud atmosphere, and a standout wine list and small plates. The food is repeatedly praised as delicious, with favorites including gravlax, gnocchi, lamb chops, and a well balanced Greek salad, while the chicken, cheese, and charcuterie selections also get high marks. Service is described as impeccable, friendly, and attentive, though a few notes mention slower pacing during busy times. Several reviews highlight the venue as perfect for gatherings or intimate celebrations, and the warm ambiance, decor, and the option to stay open late are appreciated. Price levels are on the higher side, with some feeling value justifies the cost and others feeling portions or noise detract from the experience. Overall, it remains a reliable choice for a stylish night out with strong wine and a varied, shareable menu.

Belle sélection de bières, super carte des vins. On a partagé des charcuteries, du fromage & des petites assiettes & tout était vraiment bon.

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.

We were in Montreal to view the eclipse, see old friends, & generally take in the city's history. Looking for a place to sample some excellent Quebec cheeses & smoked meats served with style & creativity, we read on-line about La Buvette Chez Simone & it seemed like a good place to try. This intimate wine bar did not disappoint, with a menu as varied & eclectic as the clientele. Here, the crowd dictates the mood & the food is the star, with the friendly & knowledgeable wait staff only too eager to assist two anglophones with what might be the best items for them to try. They were correct. Nowhere else could we have had such a delicious & varied assortment of true charcuterie that was likely to be among the best in the city. A full menu of creatively prepared cuisine & desserts round out the offerings. A late night place that takes on a vibrant vibe in the evening when the adults come out to eat & play. Special thanks to Rafael from Marseille who was chatty, helpful & friendly. We'd go back often but we live in West Palm Beach & so will have to be content with the memory of a wonderful meal & evening in Montreal.
