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

Reviews of Buvette Chez Simone describe a cozy, inviting spot with a chic, versatile vibe that can feel intimate or lively depending on the time, where small plates, cheeses and charcuterie pair with a strong wine and beer list and standouts like gravlax, gnocchi, lamb chops and perfectly cooked chicken. The service is frequently praised for warmth, attentiveness and hospitality, sometimes going the extra mile for private events, while critics warn that prices are high for sometimes small portions and that the space can be loud and a bit tight when busy. The ambiance, decor and late hours get repeated nods, with guests saying they would return and highlighting favorites such as the gnocchi with lamb and the chicken liver mousse, all underscored by a consistently friendly staff and a standout wine selection.

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

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.

Visiting from NYC, & stopped here based on a suggestion from a friend. Had the absolute best dinner. Neither my wife or I drink much wine, but we both really enjoyed the cocktails offered.

Wow. Every dish we ordered was incredible. The star was the bar grille (sea bass). Crispy, delicious skin. Tender & flaky layers melted in your mouth. The beurre blanc sauce was heavenly. We literally were basically drinking the sauce after we finished the fish. Kefta was also so juicy & flavourful but couscous it was served with could have been better seasoned. Accra's were crispy & tasty. Fries were pretty mid, undercooked & over-seasoned (I know how that sounds) but the sauce was good. Drinks were good but very small glasses. Martini was not the best. This was my second visit & both times I left very impressed & would definitely go back again!
