Buvette Nicole reçoit régulièrement des éloges pour son atmosphère charmante, sa cuisine française authentique aux influences canadiennes et son service exceptionnellement amical et professionnel. Les clients soulignent fréquemment la qualité des plats tels que le canard, les gnocchis, la soupe à l'oignon et le cheesecake déconstruit, tout en notant la créativité et l'équilibre des cocktails.

The restaurant had a lovely & unique ambience that made for a memorable setting. Our server was incredibly nice & welcoming, which really added to the experience. We had requested outdoor seating & were promptly ushered to a table outside.
As a group of five, we ordered a variety of lunch dishes including the beef tartare, beef sandwich, & black garlic gnocchis. While everything was presented well, the food itself was unfortunately a bit mediocre & didn't quite live up to our expectations.
That said, the sunny weather made for a pleasant outdoor meal, although it did start to get quite hot. Overall, it was a decent experience with standout service & atmosphere, but the food could use a little more refinement.
Wonderful service & banter from the moment we walked in. We spoke French of course but sprinkled in some English with staff easily. Arrived 10min before our reservation & it wasn't an issue seated a min or two later. Food was delicious from the escargot, beef tartare to the duck. Perfection. Note I was asked & notes were taken for allergies , favoured water & language choice. Also asked multiple times if the music was too loud but we loved the ambiance. The large windows also helped for a great view hustle & bustle of the city. Will return again !
This place exceeded our expectations by a mile. The service & food were both excellent for its price point. Our server Andrew was amazing, he was friendly & interacted with us throughout. We let him picked all our courses & we almost licked the plates clean. Sometimes the service is just as enjoyable as the food.
Had an amazing night at buvette nicole, the staff alone made the night so memorable & will definitely come back. The food was delicious & made a great first impression on food that I've never tried before. Our server gave us amazing recommendations. Andrew was amazing best server ever!!!!
We had the most wonderful brunch at Nicole, & a huge part of that was thanks to Callum, our amazing server. He was incredibly sweet, kind, & attentive, & made my bachelorette brunch feel truly special for both me & my bridesmaids. From the moment we sat down, Callum made us feel so welcome & cared for - it was like being served by a good friend.
His calm, warm energy was the perfect complement to such a fun day. Oh, & the food was absolutely delicious, too! Everything was perfect.
Thank you, Callum, for adding so much joy & making great recommendations. We're so grateful!
