Buvette Nicole was by far one of the best restaurant experiences we had in our time in Montreal. The atmosphere was very inviting & the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the chicken supreme, which I would absolutely recommend. The blend of flavors is incredible. Jordan was very kind as well & made sure we felt welcomed. Would definitely come again!!

Super tasty food, great service, & a fun atmosphere & staff. My wife & I visited from the US & were unsure what to order, but the staff gave us some great food & drink recommendations. Would recommend to anyone visiting Montreal.

Un dîner parfait au coeur du Vieux-Montréal chez Buvette Nicole, dans un magnifique cadre historique à l'ambiance bistrot parisienne à la fois chic & intimiste. Un immense merci à Adam, notre serveur, dont le service a été d'une attention remarquable, avec des conseils avisés sur les plats & les vins, alliant professionnalisme & chaleur humaine - il est aussi formidable avec les enfants, ce qui a été un vrai plaisir pour toute la famille. Côté assiette, la cuisine française est savoureuse & authentique, avec des produits frais & des saveurs parfaitement maîtrisées - nous avons adoré le tartare de boeuf à l'aïoli à la truffe, le poulpe grillé & le cheesecake déconstruit au dulce de leche. Une expérience inoubliable que je recommande chaudement à tous les amateurs de bonne cuisine à Montréal.

This place is awesome! Excellent food & service. Jordan recommended a fabulous French red wine & the deconstructed cheesecake. Loved the truffle fries, Caesar & steak fries. Enjoyed so much we came back for Happy Hour 2 days later & told people on our bike tour about it. Highly recommend.

The most wonderful meal! Our server, Jordan, was very knowledgeable & funny. I will be dreaming about the Bavette for the rest of my life. You must upgrade to truffle fries. Perhaps the best I've had 😋 10/10 recommend. (I had taken a couple bites when I decided to take a pic). The food took a sec to come out but worth the wait. The deconstructed cheesecake was also to die for. An immaculate meal all around

What a pleasant surprise!! We stumbled upon Nicole walking around town, & stayed for hours because the food, drinks, & service was so amazing. Olivier made our night exceptional, & we left with full bellies & sore abs from laughing so much with Olivier. Wholeheartedly recommend. -(quadruple from NJ)
