June is the story of four friends who wanted to bring everyone together in one place, to share, discuss, laugh, and confide. A bit like a village tavern, like the ones we grew up with in Provence. We wanted to bring out that little touch of craziness that we all have, mix cultures like Montreal teaches us to do, mix ages and differences, and above all, show great conviviality in a place that reflects us.
So, come to June to enjoy a good glass of wine selected by our sommelier accompanied by appetizers or a good seasonal dish crafted by our chef and his team of enthusiasts.June is an unpretentious place where we welcome you in the same way you would welcome us into your home; with honesty, simplicity, and a cheeky little glass of wine in hand.
Reviews describe June Buvette as a cozy intimate spot with a warm attentive staff and a lively yet relaxed atmosphere that suits date nights or gatherings with friends. The wine list and cocktails receive frequent praise for creativity and solid pairings with a menu that ranges from crispy calamari in a flavorful sauce to duck with red wine sauce, scallops, beef tartare with pistachios and smoked oyster mayo, and well executed pastas and seafood dishes. Guests highlight high quality ingredients, careful plating and tasty breads or focaccia, with some dishes standing out as exceptional while others feel under seasoned, cold or overcooked in less consistent visits. Service is praised as friendly and knowledgeable when not slowed by crowds, and private or group events are described as well organized with attentive staff. Overall June Buvette is regarded as a solid warm neighborhood gem with a strong wine program, creative drinks and a vibe that many would return for despite occasional service delays or menu items that miss the mark.
June Buvette is an excellent choice for a cozy, intimate dinner in Montreal! I recommend making a reservation ahead of time as they got quite busy when we dined here. The interior is dimly lit with simple yet elegant decorations. The servers here are very helpful & attentive & can help with any questions about the menu.
We chose to get one table d'hôte along with another appetizer to share. For our table d'hôte starter, we chose the oyster mushrooms. They were cooked extremely well & paired well with the pickled shallots. Our other appetizer was the fried calamari. The squid was lightly fried & crispy with a classic sweet & sour sauce.
For our main, we had the beef flank steak. It was perfectly cooked medium-rare & so tender. The steak slices were topped with large onion rings & served with a really creamy, delicious purée & pepper sauce.
The highlight of our meal had to be the bread pudding. It was so sweet & rich. The lemon crumble added a crunch & bright flavor that contrasted the rich taste of the bread pudding.
June Buvette was absolutely one of the best meals I had in Montreal. Come here for both the wonderful food & lively atmosphere!
We had our engagement party in their private section, & the staff made sure that the night was unforgettable.
First, Thomas helped us organize the event & made sure everything was well set up for our guests. The private section was perfect, we were even able to come ahead of time to set up decorations.
Second, during the night, the staff was awesome. Sam & Brittany were super friendly & kind & made sure everyone was having a good time & good drinks. The chef even came out to make sure the food was great.
Overall, everyone had a incredible time & all the credits goes to the staff for ensuring that the event went smoothly.

J'ai été charmé du début à la fin. Le décor, l'ambiance, la bouuuuufffe ! Drinks impeccables, les frites & l'aïoli exceptionnellement tendres & goûteuses, la morue délicate & cuite à la PERFECTION. C'est pas compliqué j'ai tout aimé. J'y retournerais sans hésitation. Je suis in looove avec ce charmant resto.
Le service était impeccable. Le décor charmant. La nourriture délectable. J'ai pris le repas de morue & c'était délicieux! J'ai ADORÉ cette trouvaille. Bravo à vous 🫶
Superbe ambiance tamisée & décor magnifique. Service rapide & attentionné. La nourriture est excellente, nous avons adoré chaque plat - Calamars frits, arancini, raviolis & carpaccio de boeuf. Portion pour plats à partager! Très belle découverte, nous reviendrons avec plaisir!
J'ai été un peu déçue des plats. Nous avons pris le focaccia, les calmars, les rigatoni, la morue poêlée & le pain perdu. Le seul plat que j'ai vraiment apprécié était celui de la morue poêlée.
Les autres n'étaient pas mauvais, mais il y auraient quelques améliorations à apportez selon moi.
Par contre, le décor est absolument magnifique, j'ai adoré l'ambiance. Si la cuisine s'améliorait, je reviendrais assurément.
Great, friendly service. Pretty decor, nice music. Perfect wine suggestion in the Doura. Nice oysters, the coq au vin & mushroom gnocchi were delicious. My friends enjoyed their steak & lamb ragu. The desserts could have been better though. The Paris Brest was tough to eat in terms of texture. The Mille Feuille had this unnecessary passionfruit purée in it. They weren't bad by any means but not something I or my friends would go for again, I think I would have gotten an appetizer instead. Cocktails were great, really enjoyed the Mez before Carol & the bourbon one.

Vin intéressants, belle décoration & lieu que j'aimerais revisiter. J'aimerais pouvoir goûter les plats puisque l'endroit semble sympa! Malheureusement, en arrivant à 21:45, on ne se sent pas bienvenue, même s'il est inscrit que ça ferme à minuit. On sent que le personnel de service voudrait qu'on quitte plutôt que de servir un verre de plus & ce même si on a finalement quitté l'endroit à 23:30, donc avant l'heure de fermeture.
The quality of the food for the price was excellent! The pear dessert, extremely original & delicious. Overall atmosphere & decor with music was on point, highly recommend!
Je recommande pour un 5@7! Belle ambiance & beau décor. Belle carte d'alcool (quoique les prix sont dans la fourchette haute!) Par contre j'ai été pour souper, pour 100$ je n'avais pris qu'un drink (délicieux ceci étant dit) & je suis sortie j'avais encore faim. Les plats étaient OK mais pas de coup de coeur ou de « wow » particulier. Il manque d'ailleurs de détails sur le menu de bouffe. Bon service!

La sélection de vins était délicieuse. Nous avons apprécié pouvoir prendre autant de vins au verre. De plus, le décor & le niveau de volume est approprié pour une date. Nous étions très confortables sur le sofa. Enfin, j'aimerais souligner le service exceptionnel de Judith, pour qui c'était le premier soir en plus! Super agréable soirée. Je serai de retour bientôt.
Ambiance super, beau décor, bon service, toutefois, contrairement à mes visites antérieures la nourriture était moins bonne. Kale césar mushy, mafalde froids & trop sucrés. Merci!
Staff was very nice but Food was mediocre. We had the Caesar kale which didn't taste like a ceasar salad. The Beef tartare was amazing & the Squash Agnolotti was good. We found the Rigatoni was a bit bland, the beef was very overpowering. Overall very nice place, nice decor but a bit disappointed with the food. Drinks were also very expensive.

C'était ma toute première fois au June Buvette ce soir, je suis sans mots ! Quel accueil du barman Sasha ! Ce mixologue a su nous conseiller sur l'entièreté de nos cocktails pendant l'événement tout au long de la soirée. Une vraie perle rare que vous avez déniché, je serai de retour très bientôt ! Wouhou!!1! Demandez pour Sasha !!!&! Bon service, belle ambiance/décorations. Excellent cocktails, merci à Olivier & Sasha. Je reviendrai essayer la nourriture
Great little neighborhood bistro in the PSC. Nice decor. Staff was super friendly, we had a great time just chatting with them, as it wasn't very busy when we arrived, it was early & the place filled up later. The wine list is awesome, we weren't sure what to go for but our waiter helped out immensely. We tried a few plates to share. Those scallop pogos were really good. We also enjoyed the smoked beet salad, kale Caesar salad. The tartare was really surprising, it's served on a cold rosti, & the pickles mixed inside reminds you of eating at McDonald's 🤣 it's weird at first but totally grows on you. They probably had just as much fun coming up with this menu as we did eating it. Just a great place for a night out with friends or for a date.
Where to start! PSC was definitely missing this, from the decor, the food (the scallop pogos are a MUST) to the wine list, everything was amazing!! Oh & the staff was sooo friendly
