We were really excited to try this place, based on the reviews. Unfortunately, it was pretty disappointing: super bland mussel broth; too much vinegar in both the onion soup & tartare; soggy fries. We ate less than half of the mussels & asked the server why it was so tasteless, he said it was Lobster broth & took it away with no follow through.

The food is top notch & the service impeccable. I came to Montreal for some French food & this place delivers. The escargot & onion soup is a must!! Moules Frites was out of this world. Don't forget to try the ice cider!! Olivier was an amazing bartender & extremely knowledgeable!!!

The service & hospitality of the staff was fantastic. We were caught up in traffic post F1 & they held our table for over an hour on a busy Friday night. Once we arrived the service was top notch & the food delicious. We would highly recommend. We'll be back :)

Visited Buvette Nicole in mid-May 2026. This little French eatery is located in Old Montreal & was one of our nicest meals during our stay.

We started out with the French Onion Soup ($19) which was soup-er cheesy. We also had the Grilled Octopus ($29) which was one tentacle paired with a mango salsa. The octopus was tender & the mango salsa went well with the dish.

For our mains, we had the Bavette Steak with frites ($39) & the Pork Rib ($42) with grilled peaches & kale. We really loved the tender grilled peaches & the pork was a generous serving. The bavette was flavourful & paired with a compound butter. While the grain was loose, it had a nice mouthfeel & the fries were addictive. Glad we picked this place to visit.
