J'ai adoré mon expérience chez Buvette Nicole. J'étais seule j'ai donc réservé pour être au bar & j'ai apprécié le service d'Olivier. Il y avait une belle ambiance, une qualité de plat de cocktail à la hauteur de mes attendes. C'est assez dispendieux mais délicieux.

To say we enjoyed this restaurant is an understatement. A friend & I are visiting Montreal & this place was recommend by a local. The atmosphere was very nice with dim lightening & a mix of Jazz, French, & Italian music. All the food looked absolutely delicious. We settled on the Famous Fondue for two. What a fun dish to eat! BUT the absolute best part of our night was actually our server, Jordan. He was attentive from the moment we walked in the door, a real joy. He was so funny. Even told us about the'dare' when the bread is dropped into the fondue. We had an over all GREAT experience at Buvette Nicole. Highly recommend.

This has been our go-to spot for about 5 years now. We visit Buvette Nicole every time we come to Montreal (once or twice a year) & we tell our friends to go there whenever they are in the city. (Always positive feedback). The staff are lovely (shout out to Olivier for hosting us so wonderfully last night). The atmosphere is cosy & the food is always excellent. The steak tartare & the escargot are a must try! Go for the happy hour drink specials (between 4-6) & stay for dinner.

Good service as well.
