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.

My drink was delicious, my server was lovely.
It isn't the most scenic street for a patio, but the inside was really nice. Was disappointed with the charcuterie- everything on it tasted like I could have bought it a regular grocery store.

Great food & great ambiance in the old port area. The cheese cake is one of the best I ever had.

Probably one of the best restaurants to open up in the Old Port in the last year. Food was incredible, perfectly portioned, beautiful to look at & gets better after every bite especially the salmon crudo that left myself & my fiancee (who usually does not eat/like any raw fish dishes) left us wanting more. Steven, the manager, made our experience THAT much better providing excellent service & making us feel welcome before we even sat down! All in all, highly recommended if you like small & intimate spots where you will feel like you become part of the Buvette family!

Unfortunately, the quality of food & service was not even close to satisfaction. We ordered entrée, the charcuterie was a semi-authentic(!) 5$ cost Costco board which they charged us more than 20 dollars for. Also charged 64 dollars for a low quality 20$ red wine.
Worst part was the waiter's rude attitude which implied'you don't know French cuisine' with a condescending humiliating smile. Also, be alert that google photos are not real, most of them belong to previous ownership of the restaurant.

I will NEVER GO BAC, but I hope they reconsider their attitude towards customers at least.
