We had a wonderful time here! The food was fantastic, very lovely atmosphere. They were surprisingly packed but our server Andrew & his colleague took great care of us. Our first dining experience in Montreal & it made us feel very welcome.

Super belle expérience à la Buvette Nicole! Nous y sommes allés hier avec mon copain & notre bébé de six semaines. Elle a dormi tout le long, mais l'équipe a été vraiment gentille & accueillante. Comme ce n'était pas trop occupé pour un jeudi d'hiver, on a même pu l'installer confortablement sur la banquette.

Les serveurs étaient super aimables, le service rapide & la nourriture excellente. Nous avons pris la salade de betteraves, le foie gras, le tartare de boeuf & la fondue au fromage - tout était délicieux!

Une petite ambiance décontractée & très cool dans le Vieux-Port. Je recommande à 100 % & j'y retournerai, c'est sûr!

In a very touristy neighbourhood this reataurant is truly a gem! Great sized space, genuinely fantastic service, delicious cocktails & very well prepared dishes at a relatively fair price - what more could you ask for?! The duck was outstanding! Highly recommended.

Wonderful wonderful restaurant! Our Server Cè was so delightful & made the experience very memorable. She was knowledgeable on the menu & even asked the Chef to make me a dish that was not on their reduced menu at the time, which was very special! If you are visiting old Montreal this is an absolute must stop!

Nous y sommes allés cette semaine un midi avec mon amie. Avons pris le croque monsieur qui était bon ainsi qu'un tartare de boeuf. Bon mais portion minuscule & frites pas maison alors qu'elles étaient annoncées maison sur le menu ce qui est vraiment dommage…
L'endroit est par contre très agréable :)

trés decu par notre repas, la soupe a l'oignon trop salée comme si elle etait directement sortie d'une boite..
mes machoire se sont fatigués avec le magret de canard. la planche de charcuteries & fromages est faites qu'avec des produits costco.. la qualité n'atteint pas le prix qu'ils chargent..
