Buvette Chez Simone

Food & wine are pretty decent, atmosphere is great. What's absolutely terrible is the service & wait times. 20 mins for 2 fritters & roasted morel mushrooms on hummus, plus another 30 mins afterwards for salad & fish - all tapas-style dishes (I guess they're hoping you can down a few more drinks while waiting, which I find is a very aggressive sales tactic).

The gentlemen who I believe is the manager is cool but he can't run the entire show by himself. One of the staff members is by far the bad apple in the place. Expect to feel unwelcomed & to be treated with a very cold approach from her. It's def not an isolated situation as we've been there multiple times in the past couple years & it's been the same. We just lost our patience this time when she told us'it happens' & walked away, while we were trying to express our concern regarding the wait time for our food order.

To the manager's credit, he did offer sincere apologies & invited us back for a better experience the next time.

On est passés plusieurs fois devant nous sans même un bonjour, alors que pour dire au revoir ça n'a pas pris longtemps… dommage, l'accueil fait vraiment la différence.

La nourriture est très bonne, rien à dire là-dessus ✨

Par contre, gros point négatif sur le bruit : le brouhaha des conversations est juste insupportable, ça gâche complètement l'expérience.

This is definitely the place to be if you're in the Mile End neighborhood. There is a comprehensive wine list & the staff is very focused on you finding the wine you like. I would definitely give an extra star for service. In addition, there is great food to accompany the wine. I would highly recommend the cod fritters!
The crowd inside is diverse & friendly. A great place to spend an evening!

Le tartare était tellement bon, ils ont toujours des bonnes suggestions pour le vin, & ils font leurs propres barre de chocolat.. Magnifique

2 verres (gin tonic & bloody ceaser + un plat de poulet même pas bon sec & pas de goût, on a même laissé le 3/4 du plat) Facture avec pourboire plus de 100$ . Franchement c'est comme beaucoup de restos qui abusent de leur prix & cette endroit en fait parti. Je vous déconseille d'y aller .

Very lovely place but too loud & noisy. A bit on the expensive side but worth it.

Stunning! Fabulous experience. We let our server pick 4 bottles of wine & enough food for 10 people. The pacing was perfect, food was balanced, & service was impeccable. No notes!

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.
