Ordered the Brie, truffle fries, duck, & mussels. Everything was great except for the duck which was cooked inconsistently. One piece was too tough & another was almost right but still too tough to be acceptable for the amount we paid for it. Service was on top of things & very attentive

My husband & I dined in for brunch today. The food was amazing. We ordered the smoked salmon bagel , French toast (pain perdu). The two blew me away. The fried capers & bits of caviar & radish on top of the bagel were the perfect touch. & the bread for the French toast was so soft & delicious topped with fresh Chantilly. Adam was a wonderful waiter & very friendly & attentive. Great place

Had an outstanding experience thanks to Olivier behind the bar. His drinks were beautifully made - creative, well-balanced, & clearly the work of someone who takes real pride in his craft. Every cocktail felt thoughtful & unique, not just pulled from a standard menu. On top of that, his service was warm, attentive, & made the whole evening better. If you're stopping in, ask for Olivier - you won't be disappointed.

To say we enjoyed this restaurant is an understatement. A friend & I are visiting Montreal & this place was recommend by a local. The atmosphere was very nice with dim lightening & a mix of Jazz, French, & Italian music. All the food looked absolutely delicious. We settled on the Famous Fondue for two. What a fun dish to eat! BUT the absolute best part of our night was actually our server, Jordan. He was attentive from the moment we walked in the door, a real joy. He was so funny. Even told us about the'dare' when the bread is dropped into the fondue. We had an over all GREAT experience at Buvette Nicole. Highly recommend.
