We had a fabulous dinner for eight. Make a reservation! The atmosphere was lovely, great music & good vibes. Can get a little loud if it is full. Jordan was a charismatic server & the bartender made me a creative off menu tequila cocktail. Every dish was delicious, & the portions were generous. This was a fabulous stop. It will not disappoint! (L to R) Beef tartare, Gnocchetti, Pork Chop, duck.

Deconstructed cheesecake was the star of the night. It was very delicious!
Beef tartare & octopus were good also. We had bavette as main, it was pleasant.
The waiter is amazing & took care of us perfectly!

The food was good, but not worth the price. I had the beef tartare & pasta. I believe it was a vegetarian pesto pasta with nuts & ricotta. It was good but definitely not worth the 30 something dollars I paid.

A wonderful experience at Buvette Nicole. The Beef Bourguignon was excellent & the service was wonderfully attentive to our group of 7. Other standouts were the fois gras & cheesecake.

Great service & cute spot, but the food was pretty underwhelming for the price. The beef we got had decent flavour but very salty, & the duck was low in flavour & tough. Expensive for what it was too.

The restaurant has good potential though.

Great place to grab a bite in Montréal! We sat outside & enjoyed great weather. Our server was friendly & made great recommendations. We tried the Beef Tartare, Gnocchi, & Roasted Chicken & everything was excellent.

Dropped in at this lovely French restaurant on a whim! The food is absolutely incredible! I had the beef skewers with chimichurri which were charcoal grilled & super tender. The chimichurri was also well balanced & paired so well with the beef. I also had the salmon with beurre blanc, also insanely good!

The food was amazing from the starters, including ceasar salad & foid grass, to the mains that we shared. I had the roasted duck (medium rare was perfect), & my friend had the braised beef. The wine we selected was perfectly paired. The portions were so amazing that there was no room left for dessert. We arrived at 19h00, but by 20h00, the place was packed & alive. Our two staff members were very helpful & chatty. By far, the best French bistro experience we could have hoped for in this area.
