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.

I was visiting from Edmonton in Jan. & had a really nice experience. The chef talked with us. Our server was really friendly. I really liked the French onion soup. It was late & we didn't notice they were trying to close. But they were so pleasant about it. I still dream about the escargot abd French onion soup.

Adam welcomed us in & served us our last drink of the night. We were a little late, but he handled that gracefully. Will pop in again for sure!

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.
