Our group had a great evening at Buvette! Worth walking through any street construction to get there. Once tucked inside; everything on the menu was amazing (seriously, there wasn't a single miss!), the drinks were delicious, the friendly staff offers impeccable service while being down-to-earth; & the atmosphere goes from light & airy in the daylight to cozy & candle-lit in the evening. Chic for a night out but still has a local neighborhood feel, you can dress up or dress down, this spot is right up our alley. Highly recommend.
Amazing neighborhood gem that I keep coming back to every week! The staff is always welcoming, making the atmosphere warm & friendly with a touch of chic! Perfect for any occasion whether it's a casual drink or a special night out. The cocktails are fantastic & their frequently updated menu keeps things fresh & exciting. It's a spot that truly never gets old!
One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood! The vibe is always on point, the drinks are fantastic, & the food never disappoints. The staff (Zach & Genevieve) here are incredible-friendly, welcoming, & attentive. I've had so many great moments here with friends & family, & it's always a pleasure to come back. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cozy, chic spot with great energy!

One of my favorite places in all of Montréal! This is such a cute spot if you are looking for something lowkey with a high end but hip vibe with a great wine selection in the Old Port of Montréal. The music selection was very chill yet versatile. In addition, the staff did a great job with recommendations of the elaborate food, drink & wine list. There wasn't along wait for anything at all. Genevieve & Arnaud deserve a raise with how they both manage their staff during the times of rushes. Would recommend this spot 10/10 times to anyone. Can't wait to visit again for my tequila smash.

We hosted a private event at Pastek & the whole evening was incredible. From the food to the staff to the drinks, they all went above & beyond to make our event unforgettable. Thank you to Lélia & her team for doing such a great job. We now go to Pastek regularly for drinks / dinner & it's one of our favorite spots in the city.
Buvette Pastek will transport you to the coolest New York hotel lobby! The atmosphere is cozy & inviting, perfect for a laid-back evening. The food is outstanding, with each dish bursting with flavor & creativity. The staff are attentive & friendly, ensuring a delightful dining or drinking experience. Whether you're a wine aficionado or simply looking for a delicious meal, Pastek is sure to impress. Brunch is also a must. Five stars well deserved!

Came here with colleagues last night & although we did not have the opportunity to try the food, we had an amazing selection of drinks. I personally enjoyed the lavender sour so much that I had to have a second one! The staff were super helpful & friendly, & the general vibe of the bar is awesome. A cool kind of modern art deco take with large windows looking out into the old port street. I will definitely be back & I'll be sure to try the food next time around!
Beautiful bar to stop for a drink & snack while shopping in the area. The staff is attentive, & the appetizers are delicious...I really enjoyed the potatoes & cheese board.
Discovered this place thanks to a good friend that used to go hang there for either casual business meetings or solo dinners while working. Having experienced the place for myself, I totally second that motion. The place is cosy with a relax crowd that's not too touristic which is cool for the Old Port. The drinks are refined & the service is impeccable with a stable staff that will remember you.
