Had a corporate holiday lunch at Buvette Pastek. Food was excellent & the service of the restaurant team was incredible! Love my experience here, highly recommend. We had many food restrictions & the restaurant took great care in making sure each request was taken care of.
Lovely wine bar with good selection of food on a rotating menu & cocktails + mocktails are good too, although on the pricier side (~20$ each) but that seems to be the average nowadays at places like these. Tried their focaccia, pasta, broccolini & duck, all delicious. Great place for sharing plates & vibes are nice for dinner although a little dark. Would come back to try more of their food! Resos were also convenient.

Excellent wine selection, delicious food, combined with an intriguing atmosphere. We would highly recommend this place to anyone living in or visiting the old port of Montreal. Additionally, the service we received was outstanding. Looking forward to returning soon.
Mon amie & moi marchions dans le Vieux-Montréal à la recherche d'un restaurant servant des huîtres, & nous sommes tombées par hasard sur Buvette Pastek. Quelle belle découverte! Tout était parfait : le choix des vins, la nourriture, le service & l'ambiance. Une mention spéciale à notre barman, Zachary, pour son service exceptionnel. Une expérience à refaire sans hésitation!
Best service I had in a long time. We we're 20 people & we never missed anything on the table. Leila is an amazing manager she answered all my emails quickly, she was super efficient. If you need to organize a small gathering I strongly recommend this restaurant! Also the food & the vibe were incredible. Thank you so much for allowing our group to create good memories for the engagement party of my brother.
With a brilliant wine list, my hopes were high. When eating the food, my hopes were dashed. Everything was just oily, even the modern take on a beef tartare. This is a place to be seen it felt, certainly more style over the substance. Service was missing a beat -- wine ordered with lunch only coming when the lunch was served; a missed opportunity that's for sure. Lunch also served without cutlery & it shows that noone is paying attention given that it then took another 5 minutes to get attention for said cutlery. All on a day when there were people about but it wasn't ridiculously busy.

This is the place to go if you are going to Montreal for a real French vibe!! Meat, cheese & a wine that will always suit your palette. Take your time, enjoy the atmosphere. Great place to meet up with good friends 👌💕
