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

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!
Nice patio outside, beautiful decor in a great location ... but a wine bar with only two choices of red? A $37 charcuterie board with cheap prosciutto & Brie? Not bad, but also not great.
un de mes endroits préf à montréal, grande variété de vin, les cocktails sont bons, le canards & la burrata sont excellents. La musique est toujours on point.
