Si vous êtes à Montréal & que vous cherchez une expérience gastronomique inoubliable, Nicole - Buvette de Quartier est une adresse incontournable. Nous étions en ville pour le week-end & avons eu la chance de tomber sur ce bijou dès notre première soirée. L'expérience était si incroyable que nous sommes revenus le lendemain pour une nouvelle dégustation de plats exquis, de cocktails sublimes & d'une ambiance parfaite.

Ce qui rend cet endroit unique, c'est avant tout son équipe. Tracy, notre serveuse, a partagé avec nous de superbes histoires de voyage, rendant la soirée encore plus mémorable. Maïthé, la barmaid, est une véritable artiste-elle crée des cocktails sur mesure en fonction de vos envies, & chaque verre est une réussite absolue. Ses accords mets & vins subliment encore plus une cuisine déjà exceptionnelle.

En cuisine, c'est tout aussi impressionnant. Alex, le chef, est un véritable virtuose, & Nico, le sous-chef que nous avons rencontré la première soirée, nous a captivés par sa passion pour la gastronomie. Leur créativité & leur engagement transparaissent dans chaque assiette, & il est évident qu'ils insufflent cette même énergie à toute l'équipe.

Les plats ? Un régal. Les cocktails ? De haut niveau. L'ambiance ? Un parfait équilibre entre élégance & décontraction. On a l'impression de dîner dans un restaurant étoilé tout en profitant de la convivialité d'un bar de quartier branché.

Nicole - Buvette de Quartier nous a laissé un souvenir impérissable, & nous avons déjà hâte d'y retourner. Si vous êtes à Montréal, faites-vous une faveur & venez vivre cette expérience par vous-même!
If you're in Montreal & looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Nicole - Buvette de Quartier is an absolute must. We were in town for the weekend & luckily stumbled upon this gem on our first night. We loved it so much that we had to come back the next evening for another round of incredible food, cocktails, & vibes.

The staff here is what truly sets this place apart. Tracy, our waitress, shared wonderful travel stories with us, making the night even more enjoyable. Maïthé, the bartender, is a true artist-she crafted off-menu cocktails based solely on our descriptions, & every single one was a masterpiece. Her wine pairings elevated an already delicious meal to another level.

Then there's the kitchen team. Alex, the head chef, is a culinary genius, & Nico, the sous chef we met on our first night, blew us away with his passion for cooking. Their creativity & dedication shine through in every dish, & it's clear that they foster that same energy in their entire team.

The food? Phenomenal. The cocktails? Next-level. The atmosphere? The perfect balance between upscale & effortlessly cool. It feels like dining at a Michelin-star restaurant with the laid-back, inviting energy of your favorite neighborhood bar.

Nicole - Buvette de Quartier left a lasting impression on us, & we can't wait to return. If you're in Montreal, do yourself a favor & experience it for yourself.View more

I wandered the streets of Montreal looking for a place to eat but nothing was grabbing my attention. I was about to return to my lodging when I stumbled upon this place & thought I would give it a try. What a fortuitous decision! I had one of the best meals of my life but more than that the conversation with Adam the bartender, Andrew the chef, & patrons that was so enjoyable, so engaging that I will absolutely come back the next time I'm in Montreal. I didn't have a main course but two appetizers, grilled octopus & foie gras which were heavenly. Then Andrew bought out the dessert in the photo I've included. If my life had ended right then & there it would be complete! I truly cannot recommend this charming place more highly! I know you will feel the same.View more

Incredible experience. Chef Alexander Zelina brings his experience from the highest level at a decent price. It's a given that this restaurant is underrated for what you get & the price you pay. Would recommend to anyone who wants authenticity in the old port.View more

Adding yet another strong review for Buvette Nicole. The meal was delicious resulting in a lively debate afterward about which of the five delicious items we shared was our favorite (a tie between the tuna sashimi & cheesecake - remarkable because I don't even like cheesecake - honorable mention to the beef tartare). Bravo chef & crew. Our server Jordan was a hoot; the entire front of house team was first rate - friendly, professional, efficient. A bonus to sit outside on perhaps one of the last evenings this year that will be possible.View more

Absolutely fantastic dinner where Chef Alex & team took wonderful care of us. We are fortunate to like everything so we asked Chef to feed us, & that was the best decision. We were treated to an unbelievable spread of everything from tartare, bone marrow, charcuterie, pâté & cheeses, & octopus. Main course was a tomahawk with fries, mash, Brussels sprouts, rapini & asparagus, chimichurri & demi-glace. The video doesn't do justice to how spectacular this meal was, & I think we made the rest of the restaurant envious... bring your appetite, you won't regret it!View more
