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.
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.

In a word, exquisite! Buvette Pastek is a true gem in the heart of Old Montreal, centrally located on rue St Paul. Beautiful, scrumptious dishes, reasonably priced & generous apportioned are served well & in a very comfy, airy, & bright decor. We were very well cared for, especially by the delightful Kathleen & our charming barista Brandon, as well as the other members of the service team. Of note were the avocado toast (truly the best I've ever had in a restaurant) & the gravlax (admittedly even better than my own homemade version). Everything sampled was truly exceptional & we were treated very, very well & never made to feel rushed, in spite of the dining room being noticeably busy. They have a lovely outdoor patio (terrasse) that looks very inviting. If you're looking for a sure win, check out this elegant & yet unpretentious restaurant for a wonderful experience of delicious food & coffee!

Food: Delicious! Best food in Montreal so far. Service: Staff is great & welcoming, helped us a lot with the menu however it did feel like two waiters were fighting to have our table. Atmosphere: Lovely, but we were sat next to the kitchen staff a bit further then with the other tables so less convenient in that way
This is not a place for locals. Coffee is nespresso quality, service is a little weird (like will drop the bill on your table & leave or won't bring forks/spoons with the food, etc) & food is DEFINITELY not "Montreal good". Portions are also on the smaller end. It's a hotel lobby type place that pretends to be a hip restaurant.
Nous avons pris un brunch. Lorsque le menu indique assiette brunch patate XXL, on s'attend à avoir une quantité de nourriture correcte. Il y avait 4 petits morceaux de pomme de terre, une demi saucisse... Nous somme sortis de table la faim au ventre. C'était bon, mais il n'y avait rien dans l'assiette
