Overall, Buvette Pastek earns praise for a warm, welcoming atmosphere, thoughtful wine and cocktail selections, and consistently good to excellent food, with brunch and bottomless mimosa highlighted by many. The service is described as attentive, friendly, and professional, making guests feel well looked after, while the vibe can swing from bright and lively to cozy and candlelit. Some reviews note occasional drawbacks such as cold dishes, noise or busy nights, and moments of uneven pacing, but the venue is frequently called a hidden gem and a solid choice for intimate occasions or casual hangs with good value.
Découvert complètement pas hasard après un vernissage dans le Vieux-Port. Ambiance incroyable. Notre serveur (Max) était super gentil & convivial. La burrata était divine & le Spanish Spritz 👌 Nous y retournerons sous peu.
I wanted to go there for quite a while so maybe that's why I was a bit disappointed. We were a group of 5. Worth a try but I wouldn't go back. The place is stunning & the mood was really nice. Nothing bad to say on that part. It's more expensive than most other great Buvettes in Montreal but that was to be expected because of their location (Old Port). Food was tasty although small in portions. The burrata was delicious, a must. Their cocktails were pretty good too! For us the big let down was the lack of knowledge & service around the wine. I'm used to having people know their wine products properly, especially if you call yourself a Buvette. So all in all, if the place wasn't called a Buvette I'd give it a 4 star since most things were pretty good but I don't want someone else to think they will have a nice wine tasting experience.
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.
Excellent food even if the quantities are modest. But all very good. Beautiful music, excellent services & delicious rosé wine. We took a selection of cheeses which explained to us in which order to taste.
30 minutes d'attente pour avoir notre table alors que nous avions réservé, énormément d'attente pour avoir les plats alors qu'ils attendaient sur le comptoir, un oubli de nos desserts... & aucun geste commercial. Au vu des prix, on s'attend à mieux. Sinon la nourriture est bonne & le lieu agréable bien que très bruyant.
Excellent service & meal. We ate our lunch outside on the street with our 2 dogs. Wife have a Italian meats platter wine & I had a beer. I forget what my lunch was called but it was delicious & photos enclosed.
We popped in for a few glasses of wine before our dinner reservation near by. Service & vibes were great, wine selection & cocktails were lovely. Looking forward to trying out the food one day! (It looked great!)

Came here for dinner. Pros: Wine & nice terasse Cons: Overpriced food & server was arrogant Come here for the wine, they have great choices but not worth it for food. It is very overpriced & not good, much better restaurants elsewhere. The terasse & indoor dining area is very nice, but the waitor we had (wears glasses) was really arrogant.
We had a nice little date night at Buvette Pastek on a Sunday evening. The food was incredible, we started with a plate of charcuterie & bread & then followed up with the tuna sashimi & the duck. The appetizer was the perfect size to share for 2 people & the main courses were plated beautiful & tasted even better than they looked. The wine list was extensive, I just wish they had more options by the glass. The cocktails we started with were nice, nothing crazy. You're definitely going to get the Old Port prices but for the evening we had it was well worth it.
Je suis tombé amoureuse de ce petit spot la nourriture est bonne j'ai pris une salade buratta & un carpaccio de boeuf, les cocktails sont aussi yummy je recommande !

We had an amazing brunch on the patio. The food was fantastic & the staff was great. The avocado toast, pancakes & burrata were amazing. The freshly squeezed orange grapefruit juice was delightful.
A lovely little wine bar, small menu but was pretty good. The wine options were heavily Quebec wines & if you are not familiar with it may be a bit surprising. The service was great but the patio is very tightly packed & next to a sneaker store that blares music that can become a bit overwhelming
